‐ So I'd never heard of any of these soldiers
他们在朝鲜战争中咬牙切齿

如果他们在如此寒冷的温度下吃了这个，

让我们看看我们现在能不能做到。
let's see if we can do it now.
我们开始吧。
Here we go.

它肯定还是可以吃的，

it is 60 plus years later, this is as good,
如果不是比我吃过的任何甜甜圈都好的话，
if not better than any tootsie roll I've ever had,
我被深深打动了。
I'm super impressed.
但我认为我们必须

put these Tootsie rolls to the test,
他们甚至能在朝鲜战争期间堵住燃料箱吗？

(低声)
(murmurs)
好了，这是一个乱七八糟的工具包，我要把它敲个洞。

我们走吧。

我们听说的一切都是可能的。
that we've heard are possible.
-酷，酷.
‐ Cool, cool.
-[老烟]这东西很冷.
‐ [Old Smokey] This thing is very cold.

在朝鲜战争期间。
during the Korean war.
-不可能。
‐ No way.

‐ So we'll flip it over?
-是的
‐ Yeah
-所以基本上我们要这样做
‐ So basically we're going to act like this
是一个被刺破的燃料箱。
is a punctured fuel tank.
让我们看看它是否能装得下燃料。
Let's see if it's going to hold the fuel.
它完全保持住了水分。

足够长的时间让他们继续前进。
long enough to get them going.
