《从太空看二战》
1941年12月7日，上午7点55分，珍珠港
珍珠港事件一石激起千层浪
The unprovoked Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor will send shock waves across the globe
其实美国早在数月前就对日本心生戒备
But the America has feared the strike for months
自1931年以来，日本在其野心扩张的不归路上已经越走越远
Since 1931,Japan's Imperial ambitions have grown bolder and bolder
首先是入侵满洲
First Manchuria is invaded
然后是中国本土
then China itself
当1940年法国被纳粹德国攻陷，日本趁机抢夺了法属印度支那
When France falls to Nazi Germany in 1940, Japan seizes control of French Indochina
美国迅速反应
The U.S. response is rapid
冻结了日本在美资产，并切断了对日石油输出
Japan's financial assets are frozen, and an oil embargo is imposed
所传达的信息显而易见：
The message is clear:
要么从印度支那撤军，要么坐等经济崩溃
withdraw from Indochina or be economically crushed
在禁运之后，日本只有两个选择：
After the embargo, Japan was faced with two choices:
中止领土侵犯行为，并交还给同盟国，或者开战
stop territorial expansion, give in to the demands of the Allies, or go to war
日本，选择了宣战
Japan chooses war
用东条首相的话来说就是，要么光宗耀祖，要么永世沉沦
in the words of Prime Minister TOJO, it is either glory or declined
先发制人的打击势在必行
it is imperative that they made the first decisive strike
日本人很清楚，决不能和美国人硬碰硬
The Japanese knew they were never going to go toe to toe with the United States
在太平洋上陷入持久战
in a long naval war in the Pacific
他们自知在经济和军事两方面都不占优势
They knew they didn't have the economic might and military might
在这种情况下可以凭借一次出其不意的打击
For those calculations that they could administer a knock out blow
搞定美国太平洋舰队的主力战舰
to the capital ships of the US Pacific Fleet
将太平洋舰队摧毁的话
You could destroy the Pacific Fleet
就可以使美国在数月内都无法染指太平洋
The ability of Americans to respond to anything formany months would be taken away
所以说，偷袭珍珠港不仅仅是对美国的象征性的攻击
So the strikes of Pearl Harbor was not just a strike at a symbol of American power
也是对美国太平洋军力的实际打击
It blast American power in the Pacific
当时美国情报人员所看不到的如今以太空视角呈现出来
What American intelligence cannot see is revealed from space
山本五十六的舰队驶离日本，发起了史上最远的长途奔袭
Admiral Yamamoto's fleet departs Japan on the longest assault in history
一路避让航道和岛屿
Avoiding shipping lanes and land mass
最终到达了距目标275英里的海域
they arrive on-scene 275 miles from their target
这是个拿捏到位的距离
it's the perfect vantage point
在珍珠港雷达的探测距离外
beyond the range of America's defensive radar
但却在航母414架舰载机的最佳攻击航程内
but at the optimum strike distance for its force of 414 cutting-edge aircraft
其中的冠上明珠为三菱零式战斗机
the jewels in the crown, the Mitsubishi Zero
零战比以往的任何战机都飞得快（本片观点，仅供参考）
It's faster than anything they had used before
拥有难以置信的机动性和极佳的航程
It's incredibly maneuverable and has extreme range
尽管技术上相当出色
but while the technology was pretty good
但对珍珠港威胁更大的是坐在里面的人
what mattered at Pearl Harbor was the men behind it
是飞行员
It was the pilots
日军舰载机飞行员已经久经沙场
The Japanese pilots had already been at war for years
他们训练有素
So they're well-trained crews
更重要的是
You add on top of that
他们为了这次进攻蓄谋已久
they had been planning on that attack for a long period of time
通过演习
So they had been running wargames
一遍又一遍的反复模拟行动
stimulating and going through the action again and again
所以基本上，他们中的很多人就算闭着眼睛也能完成任务
So basically, many of them talked about how they could have done it if going in blind
早上7点55分
At 7:55 a.m
日军的第一波轰炸机从天而降
the first wave of bombers swoop from the sky
站在亚利桑那号♥甲板上的是Don Stratton
On the deck of the USS Arizona is Don Stratton
我们看到日军飞机盘旋在上空
We knew right away that they were Japanese planes, and
从他们投下第一颗炸♥弹♥起，我就知道大事不妙
we knew that they were bombing for that and something was really wrong
飞机在我们头顶上不停地呼啸、投弹
Planes were strafing and dive bombing and
那简直是…简直是个痛苦的梦魇
it's a ... horrible experience and a horrible sight
当时高空有架轰炸机投下了貌似2000磅的炸♥弹♥
There was a high altitude bombers dropped like a 2,000 pound bomb
然后一切都灰飞烟灭了
and made it just devastating to everything in its path
剧烈的震荡和 ...
The concussion and ...
浓烟与烈火任意肆掠，太可怕了
smoke and fire was horrendous
那种感觉就像是失去了家
It just was like you lost your home
在战列舰停泊的港内
Of the battleships at anchor
亚利桑那、俄克拉荷马、西弗吉尼亚和加利福利亚号♥被击沉
the Arizona, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and California are sunk
其余的也严重受损
the rest severely damaged
在短短68分钟内，日军就瘫痪了美国太平洋舰队
In 68 minutes, Japan has crippled the heart of American Pacific Fleet
从日本方面来看，对珍珠港的进攻
From the Japanese perspective, the attack on Pearl Harbor
取得的战果超过了最乐观的预期
succeeded beyond the most optimistic expectations
尤其是考虑到自损
When you consider the losses
日本的损失几乎可以忽略不计
that the Japanese suffered in this attack, it is essentially nothing
日军以6♥4♥人的轻微代价换取了美军36♥4♥9人的伤亡
The Japanese lose 6♥4♥ men to 3,6♥4♥9 U.S. casualties
人员损失比为57:1
a human damage ratio of 57:1
但日方大胜的背后有两个致命瑕疵
But Japan's margin of victory hides 2 major flaws in the attack
日军没有轰炸珍珠港内的油库
the Japanese failed to systematically attacked the oil fields
那些油库里有整支太平洋舰队的储油量
the oil storage tanks at Pearl Harbor
如果再发动一轮攻击将其炸毁的话
If they'd spent one more sortie taking out those oil tanks
他们将会废掉整个太平洋舰队得以开动的燃料供给
they'd have crippled the whole Pacific Fleet which would have the fuel supplies to keep going
还有很多重要舰船日本未得打击
More significant other ships the Japanese failed to target
美军航母在日军进攻的时候均不在港内
The American aircraft carriers were absent from Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack
时局变化得很快，显而易见航♥空♥母舰
And as things evolved very quickly, it became clear that aircraft carriers
已注定成为交战双方海军力量的中坚
destined to become the most significant naval assets for either side
在太平洋战争中，美军航母所向披靡
In the Pacific War and the American carriers were untouched
油料补给和制空权
Oil supplies and air domination
两个影响二战的决定性因素
2 factors that will dictate the fate of WWII
日军均未打击得手
and Japan fails to damage either
取而代之，他唤醒了美国这只沉睡的巨人
Instead, it has waken the full wrath of the sleeping of American Giant
珍珠港事件激怒了美国人♥民♥
Pearl Harbor infuriated the American people
也激怒了美国♥军♥方
and also infuriated American military
大量死伤，舰队的惨重损失
Massive casualties, destruction of most the Pacific Fleet
如果你想做一件能团结国民的事
If you want to do one thing to unite a country
团结那些此前对是否参战仍各持己见的人
that before this it has been rather divided by what to do about the war
珍珠港事件再好不过了
Pearl Harbor was that
珍珠港事件像一根尖刺一样直插美国人♥民♥的心中
This was like a lightning rod throughout the American population
罗斯福总统对于自己的抉择不再畏缩不前
No longer was President Roosevelt limited in his options
他让全国上下同仇敌忾
He had the United States population that was angry and unified
向日本发动复仇反击
and desired revenge against Japan
她的孤立时代已经结束
Her era of isolationism is over
美国参战了
America is at war
并开启了成为这个星球上最强大国家的崛起之路

华盛顿算出确保胜利的开销是3000亿美元

相当于今天的4.4万亿美元
4.4 trillion in today's money
甚至超过了联邦总预算的1.5倍
over one and a half times the total U.S. federal budget
政♥府♥可以通过增加税收筹集到一半
The government can raise half through increased taxes
而剩下的，则必须求助于社会公众
For the rest, it must turn to the public
筹集3000亿美元对于当时的美国来说是个艰巨的挑战
To raise 300 billion dollars was then viewed as insurmountable challenge
因为基本上
because basically
我们得让美国一半的人口认♥购♥债券来筹资
we had to get half the population of the United States to buy bonds
我们对外宣称我们要加入二战
And what we were saying is we were in WWII
为了胜利
We were in this to win
为了正义打倒邪恶

而你们每一个人的贡献都至关重要
