were like two scorpions in
a bottle," Eugene Sledge wrote.
“一方被消灭另一方也几近崩溃”
"One was annihilated,
the other nearly so."
6周的战斗之后
After six weeks of combat,
斯莱奇和陆战一师余部
Sledge and the rest
of the First Marine Division
最终拿下了这个岛
were finally taken
off the island.
还要再过一个月
It would be another month
日军指挥官才终于用无线电报告上级
before the Japanese commander
finally radioed his superiors
“贝里琉岛上一切都结束了”然后自杀
that "all is over on Peleliu"
and then committed suicide.
少数日军还在那里继续战斗
A handful of Japanese
would go on fighting there
到1945年2月
until February of 1945.
夺取贝里琉岛原本计划只要4天
Securing Peleliu was supposed
to take four days.
却多花了2个月时间
It took more than two months.
1万名日本人战死
10,000 Japanese were killed,
几乎全都是守岛的日军
nearly every man who had
defended the island.
1200多名美军死亡
More than 1,200 Americans
perished,
包括列兵约翰.D.纽
including Private John D. New,
他和尤金.斯莱奇都在莫比尔长大住在镇子那头
who had grown up in Mobile just
across town from Eugene Sledge.
他扑向一枚日军手榴弹
He hurled himself
onto a Japanese grenade,
救了2个战友的命自己却丢了性命
saving the lives of two friends,
but losing his own.
他因英雄行为被追授荣誉勋章
For his heroism, he received
a posthumous Medal of Honor.
另有5247名美军致残或失踪
5,274 more Americans were maimed
or missing.
尤金.斯莱奇所在连队的235人中
Out of the 235 men
in Eugene Sledge's company,
只有85人毫发无损的离开这个岛
only 85 left the island
without physical wounds.
这个让斯莱奇的很多战友
And in the end,
there had been no tactical need
丢掉性命的小小机场
for the little airfield
最终已没有任何战术上的需要
for which so many
of Sledge's friends had died.
“当我背着自己的装备
"As I struggled upward
“挣扎着爬到船上
"onto the boat
with my load of equipment,
“我觉得自己像只疲惫的虫子爬上一根藤条
"I felt like a weary insect
climbing a vine.
“但我最终爬出了贝里琉深渊
"But at last I was crawling up
out of the abyss of Peleliu.
“我把装备放到行李架上走到甲板上
"I stowed my gear on my rack
and went topside.
“咸咸的海风很宜人
"The salt air was delicious
to breathe.
“深深呼吸清新的空气
"What a luxury to inhale
是多么奢侈的一件事
long, deep breaths of fresh,
clean air."
“但在贝里琉岛我体内某种东西死掉了
"But something in me died
at Peleliu.
“也许那是孩子般的天真
"Perhaps it was
a childish innocence
当作信仰来宣称人性本善”
that accepted as faith the claim
that man is basically good."
“可能我对高层政客失去了信心
"Possibly I lost faith
that politicians in high places,
“他们不需要忍♥受战争的残忍♥
"who do not have
to endure war's savagery,
永远不会停止愚蠢的错误派别人去受罪”
will ever stop blundering and
sending others to endure it."
尤金.斯莱奇
Eugene Sledge.
我们等不及看下一步战争影片了
We couldn't wait for
the next war film to come out
因为里面充满了英雄主义
because it was filled
with heroism
每个人为战争牺牲
and everybody sacrificing
for the war,
每个死去的人为事业献身
and everybody who died
died for a cause.
伯特.威尔逊加州萨克拉门托
观众反响最强烈的电影是
The biggest audience response
came like from a movie
约翰.韦恩出演的《飞虎队》
Flying Tigers with John Wayne.
当他击落日本飞机时
And when he shot down
Japanese planes
日军飞行员会以手掩面
and the Japanese pilot
would hold his hands to his face
血会从手指间流出来
and the blood would come
out of his fingers,
我们会跳起来欢呼
we would jump up and cheer
因为好人赢了
because the good guys
were winning.
战争给我带来的最大改变就是
The big change
that the war brought for me was
我在10岁就成了生意人
I was a businessman
at the age of ten.
我是“蜜蜂”公♥司♥的骑手自己管钱
I was a Bee carrier,
managing my own money,
自己管理线路
managing my own route.
我首次领到薪水做了什么？
And what did I do
with my first paycheck?
我去买♥♥了一套
I went and bought
a cardboard replica
.30口径机♥枪♥的模型
of a.30 caliber machine gun
回家放在后院的一棵树上
and went home and put it up
in a tree in the backyard
假装我在扫射敌人
and made believe I was mowing
down the enemy like that.
那就是我对战争的贡献
That was my contribution
to the war effort.
我们或多或少都会玩打仗游戏
And we all played war
to a certain extent,
但我们打仗的方式很有趣
but it's interesting
the way we played war
因为没死过人
because nobody ever died.
如果你被击中有人会来帮你、治好你
If you got shot, somebody came
to your aid and fixed you up,
然后你可以站起来再次射击
and then you could rise up
and shoot again.
战争改变了萨克拉门托
The war transformed Sacramento,
也改变了沃特伯里、莫比尔

and Mobile

former neighbors' misfortune,
而让墨西哥来的新移♥民♥帮他们收割庄稼

for all of them
