The government , with an army in its hand , hesitated ; the night was almost upon them , and the saint-merry tocsin began to make itself heard .
政府手里有着军队，却还在犹豫不决，天快黑了，人们开始听到圣美里的警钟。
From your ranks come the great captains who hold the nation 's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds .
从你们的队伍中涌现那些战争警钟敲响时手操国家命运的伟大军官。
Glanced down from behind his chimneys at the darkening faces by the fountain below , and sent word to the sacristan who kept the keys of the church , that there might be need to ring the tocsin by-and-by .
