說起滑鐵盧，人們除了聯想到失敗之外，稍懂歷史的人一定還會想到一個地方和一個人。這個地方就是比利時的滑鐵盧鎮，而這個人就是歐洲的歷史巨人拿破侖·波拿巴。

Introduction簡介

It is about 20 kilometers between Waterloo and Brussels,the capital of Belgium.Like many other European towns,Waterloo is quite ordinary,but its name is world-famous.In 1815,the French army led by Napoleon had a fierce battle in Waterloo with the Prussian army.And the French army suffered a disastrous defeat.Then,Napoleon abdicated and ended his political career.Since then,Waterloo is used to refer to painful failure.滑鐵盧鎮距比利時首都布魯塞爾大約二十公里。與歐洲其他國家的許許多多小鎮一樣，它并無多少特色，但它的名字卻是響徹世界。1815年，在比利時的滑鐵盧，拿破侖率領法軍與英國、普魯士聯軍展開激戰，法軍慘敗。隨后，拿破侖以退位結束了其政治生涯。滑鐵盧從此被用來比喻慘痛的失敗。
