4月25日

　　On the 25th of April, 1915, thousands of young men from New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and Newfoundland (thirty-four years before it joined Canada) stormed the beaches on the Gallipoli peninsula in what is now Turkey. By the time the campaign ended, over eight months later, tens of thousands had died. Although the Gallipoli battles had no impact on the outcome of the First World War, the campaign was a turning point for New Zealand and other Commonwealth nations in the forging of their own identities. 译文(2): 1915年4月25日，成千上万来自新西兰、澳大利亚、爱尔兰和纽芬兰(加入加拿大前34年)的年轻人冲击了 Gallipoli peninsula 的海滩。到这场运动结束的时候，也就是8个多月之后，已经有成千上万的人死亡。虽然加利波利战役对第一次世界大战的结果没有影响，但对新西兰和其他英联邦国家来说，这场战役是塑造自身特征的一个转折点。
