舰队在马里亚纳群岛上的3个最重要目标
The fleet's three most important
targets in the Marianas
是关岛、天宁岛以及塞班岛
were Guam, Tinian, and Saipan,
海军陆战队将首先登陆塞班岛
where the Marines
would land first.
“6月13日
"June 13.
“大约14小时后我们将轰炸塞班岛
"In about 14 hours now, we will
start bombarding Saipan.
“我们距东京只有约1200英里

our old standby
“没有东西可吃的时候
"when we have nothing to eat
糖果一直是我们的必备品”
at battle stations
for long hours."
塞班岛不像陆战队以前攻占过的很多
Saipan was unlike many
of the tiny, flat coral atolls
小而平的珊瑚环礁
the Marines had
taken previously.
这个岛有14英里长地形多种多样
It was 14 miles long,
featured all kinds of terrain
由3万多名日军守卫
and was defended by more
than 30,000 Japanese troops.
这里也是
It was also home
1.6到2万名日本平民的家园
to somewhere between 16,000
and 20,000 Japanese civilians.
炮击塞班岛持续了2天
The shelling of Saipan
went on for two days.
等待登陆的海军陆战队
Among the Marines
of the Fourth Division
第4师当中有一位来自
waiting to go ashore
阿♥拉♥巴马州莫比尔的阿尔维.雷.皮特曼下士

of Mobile, Alabama.
他在决定加入海军陆战队之前
He'd been working as a carpenter
alongside his father
一直在父亲身边干木匠活
when he decided to join
the Marines.
我拿定主意
I'd made up my mind
我想加入最艰苦的团队
I want to get in
the toughest outfit they had.
我害怕在我到达之前
And I was afraid the war
was going to get over
战争就要结束了
before I got over there.
所以我加入了海军陆战队
So I joined the Marine Corps.
于是他们把我送到帕里斯岛的新兵训练营
'Course, they sent me
to Parris Island for boot camp.
雷.皮特曼阿♥拉♥巴马州莫比尔
我记得进去的时候
And I remember going in,
所有人站在外面的草地上
all these guys
standing out on the grass.
他们说“你会后悔的你会后悔的”
They said, "You'll be sorry.
You'll be sorry."
雷.皮特曼是第一批
Ray Pittman
was in the first wave,
16人爆破组中的一员受命摧毁

assigned to destroy
所到之处的敌人据点
enemy strongpoints
wherever they were found,
使用的是炸♥药♥、手雷

and flamethrowers.
你从想过自己会受伤
You never think
about getting hurt yourself.
你想到的是某位战友
You think about maybe
some of your buddies
也许会受伤
are going to get hurt.
你寻思那会是谁
And you wonder
who it's going to be.
我是说我真的从没想过自己受伤
I mean, I really didn't ever
think about getting hurt myself.
当然当你看到...
Of course, when you, when you...

slugs start bouncing off
your amtrack going in,
我明白这有可能发生

bombardment had failed.

and on the men fighting
for a toehold on the beach.

of the assault battalions

were hit within minutes.
入夜 2万陆战队员都已登岸
By evening, 20,000 Marines
had made it ashore,
但他们无法再进一步
but they could go no further.
日军计划压制住美军
The Japanese planned to keep
the Americans pinned down
直到自己的舰队从菲律宾驶来
until their own fleet could
steam in from the Philippines
消灭掉他们
and destroy them.
尽管弹如雨下
Despite the rain of shells,
陆战队慢慢开始杀出海滩
the Marines began slowly to
fight their way off the beach.
我知道我很害怕
I know I was scared a lot...
失去很多朋友真的让人心痛
and losing a lot of friends
really hurts you.
我真的难以形容
It's really hard
for me to describe,
那段时间我是什么感觉
really, just how
I felt the whole time
因为每天都有任务
'cause there's something
happening every day
你太累了眼皮都抬不起来
and you're so tired and you
can't lift your eyelids hardly.
任务来了
And something happens,
你接到命令去这里炸碉堡
you get a call to blow
a pillbox here,
去那里炸碉堡
to blow a pillbox there.
你醒来去完成任务
I mean, you wake up
and go and do your job.
但我很难描述那有多么糟糕
But it's hard for me to tell
just how bad it was...
那种感觉如何
how I felt.

The battle for
Saipan had just begun.

we had reason to complain

was in a concentration camp,
