In order to defend Carthage, it became necessary to recal the standing army of Annibal.

为了保卫迦太基， 有必要召回安尼巴尔的常备军。

The Roman armies which Annibal encountered at Trebi, Thrasymenus, and Cannae, were militia opposed to a standing army.

Annibal 在 Trebi、Thrasymenus 和 Cannae 遇到的罗马军队是反对常备军的民兵。

The disheartened and frequently defeated African militia joined it, and, at the battle of Zama, composed the greater part of the troops of Annibal.

灰心丧气且经常被击败的非洲民兵加入了它， 并且在扎马战役中组成了安尼巴尔军队的大部分。

The army which Annibal led from Spain into Italy must necessarily, in those different wars, have been gradually formed to the exact discipline of a standing army.

安尼巴尔从西班牙率领的军队进入意大利，在那些不同的战争中，必然已经逐渐形成了一支严格遵守常备军纪律的军队。

Annibal was ill supplied from home. The Roman militia, being continually in the field, became, in the progress of the war, a well disciplined and well exercised standing army; and the superiority of Annibal grew every day less and less.

Annibal 家里供应不足。罗马民兵不断在战场上作战，随着战争的进行，成为一支纪律严明、训练有素的常备军。安尼巴尔的优势一天比一天小。
