15、hering in large numbers.This marked one of the final stages of a top-secret operation that had been months,perhaps years,in the planning.Code-named“Operation Overlord,it was the largest combined sea,air and land operation in history,the aim being to free north west Europe from German occupation.Afte

16、r waiting for the perfect combination of weather,moon and tides,the date for the start of Operation Overlord was set for 6 June.1944年春天，第二次世界大战的战火已经席卷全球大约五年之久。但是在英格兰的南部海岸正发生着不寻常的事情:由英国、加拿大和美国士兵组成的盟军正在大量聚集。这标志着一场计划了数月，甚至可能是数年的绝密行动终于进入了最后阶段。这次作战行动的代号为“霸王行动”，它是历史上规模最大的海、陆、空三方力量集结的行动，目的是解放德国占领的欧洲西北部地区。在

17、确保天气、月亮和潮水三者达到最佳结合点后，“霸王行动”最终定在了6月6日。2 An order issed by Supreme Allied Commander General Eisenhower to the troops read:Your task will not be an casy one.Your enemy is well trained,well equipped and battle hardened.But this is the year 1944.The tide has turmed!The free men of the world are marching

18、together to Victory!I have full confidence in your courage,devotion to duty and skill in battle.We will accept nothing less than full Victory!盟军最高司令艾森豪威尔将军在鼓舞军队士气时说道:“你们的任务将不会轻松。敌人训练有素、武器精良，而且久经沙场.但今年是1944年.时局已经发生转变!全世界自由的人们正在-起向胜利前进!我对你们的勇气、责任心和作战能力十分有信心。我们将迎接的只会是彻底的胜利!”3 With these words ringing i

19、n their ears,Allied soldiers prepared for what would become known as D-Day.At dawn on 6 June,thousands landed by parachute behind enemy lines in northem France.Meanwhile,thousands more were journeying across the English Channel to Normandy,protected by fighter planes in the skies above them.Their ob

20、jective was clear:to reach the Normandy beaches along about 80 kilometres of French coastline.But even in the depths of war,few could have been prepared for the violence and horror they would experience there.盟军士兵耳中回荡着这些话语，做好了登陆诺曼底的准备。6月6日清晨，数千名士兵在法国北部空降在敌人后方。与此同时，更有数千名士兵在战斗机的保护下,穿越英吉利海峡，在诺曼底登陆。他们的目

21、标十分明确:到达法国海岸线约80千米外的诺曼底海滩。但就算是深陷战争,也很少有人能够做好准备，面临即将发生的残暴和恐怖。4 The fiercest fighting was at Omaha Beach.The enemy were hiding,ready to attack the Allied soldiers even before they reached land.Boats were hit and men drowned,while those who did make it to the beach faced heavy machine gunfire.By mid-mo

22、rning,hundreds lay dead in the water and amongst the tanks on the beach.One soldier realled how he barely made it with bombs flling all around him:“I was the first one out.The seventh man was the next one to get across the beach without being hit.All the ones in between were hit.Two were killed;thre

23、e were injured.Thats how lucky you had to be.奥马哈海滩的情况最不容乐观。敌人藏身于各个地方，准备在盟军登陆前就开始进攻。船被击翻，一些人落水而亡，而那些成功登陆的人面对的则是机关枪的猛烈扫射。上午10点左右已有上百人在水中或在海滩_上的坦克之间阵亡。一名士兵事后回忆他是如何在轰炸中侥幸脱险的:“我是第一个冲出来的人，第七个冲出来的士兵是第二个穿过海滩没有被击中的，我俩之间的士兵全被击中了，其中有两人死亡，三人受伤。真的是要有天大的幸运才能躲过这一劫。”5 But,despite the high cost in human life,the D-D

25、would meet up with the Soviet military moving in from the east.尽管伤亡惨重,诺曼底登陆还是取得了成功，并且被人们普遍视为第二次世界大战结束的开端。在1944年8月底，盟军抵达塞纳河，解放了巴黎，从法国西北部赶走了德国人。之后盟军准备进攻德国,而苏联军队也正从德国东部攻入，两军相遇。6 Seventy years Later,men who had fought on D-Day gathered on both sides of the English Channel,where people were coming togeth

26、er for memorial ceremonies.As part of this solemn and moving occasion,a former soldier read out to the crowd these lines from the poem For the Fallen,by Laurence Binyon:They shall grow not old,as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun an

27、d in the morming We will remember them.70年后，曾在诺曼底登陆中奋战的将士聚集在英吉利海峡两岸，人们共同参加纪念仪式。在庄重感人的仪式上，一位当时参战的老兵向众人朗诵了劳伦斯.比尼恩谨献给阵亡将士-诗中的一段:我们会日渐衰老，但他们永远不会老去,他们永远不为年龄所难，永远不为岁月所累。每当夕阳西下，每当情晨来临，我们都会想起他们。7 Survivors of the D-Day landings continue to meet to remember the fellow soldiers and friends they lost that day.Although each year they are fewer in number,their outstanding acts of courage mean that we will always remember them-as well as those who lost their lives on the beaches of northern France.诺曼底登陆的幸存者每年都会相聚并纪念他们在登陆那天失去的战友和朋友。虽然每年相聚的人越来越少，但他们的英勇壮举将会让我们永远铭记他们，以及那些在法国北部海滩上阵亡的士兵。
