The World At War S01E02

Part 2 June 6, 2022, 8:32 a.m.

那时候就象被拍卖♥♥一样
lt was like being auctioned off
at the time.
但当我们最终找到一家愿意
接纳我们的人家,那真是太好了
But when we finally got a house
to take us in, it was fantastic.
那真是个向我们敞开的新世界
lt was a new world
that opened out to us.
我是说,我们在床上拿到了
牙刷和床单,还有热水供应
l mean, we had toothbrushes
and sheets on the bed and hot water.
想象一下热水!
我们就是不能忘记它
lmagine hot water!
We just couldn't get over it.
我们不知道羽绒是干什么用的
And we didn't know
what eiderdowns were for.
早上我们去采摘黑莓
ln the morning
we went blackberry picking.
然后我们听到警报,
所以我们赶回了我们的住处
Then we heard the sirens,
so we rushed back to our billet.
那里的女人让我们放心下来,说别担心,
于是我们坐下吃午饭
The woman there reassured us and said
not to worry, and we sat down to lunch.
那是我一生中看到的
第一个可以全部展开的桌子
lt was the first fully laid-out table
l'd ever seen in my life.
而宣战的时刻,我想,
就是我们吃那顿午饭的同一时间
And war was declared,
l think, that same lunchtime.
她说别担心并递给我们山葵酱
She said not to worry
and passed us the horseradish sauce.
但是我想许多孩子因远离他们
的家人而遭受了很深的痛苦
But I think a number of children suffered
really deeply being away from their families.
他们有一种被弃的感觉.
They suffered a sense of rejection.
他们表现出他们这种被弃的感觉,悲伤和痛苦
非常常见的方式是奇怪的行为问题,
They exhibited their senses of rejection and sorrow and
suffering very often by strange behaviour problems,
还有尿床,或许还有不吃饭
by bedwetting, perhaps not eating.
31个孩子来了,还有两个初级护士,我想
31 arrived, with two junior nurses,
l think.
他们都很脏,其中两个得了脓疱疮
They were pretty dirty
and two of them got impetigo.
当时我这里有很小的孩子
l had young children at the time.
我把他们放进一个大房♥间
And I put them into a large room.
你无法想象...我无法想象
英国还存在这样的事
You've no idea... I had no idea
that such things existed in England.
他们在地毯上到处大小便
They relieved themselves
all over the carpet
那地方简直是一团糟
and the place was a shambles.
并没有英雄般的踊跃志愿参军
There was no heroic rush
to volunteer for the forces.
你等着轮到你被叫进
You waited your turn to be called up
军事制香肠机进行加工
for processing
in the military sausage machine.
一切都挺从容的
All rather leisurely.
但有一股结婚的热潮
But a rush to get married.
在八月和九月,举♥行♥的婚礼数创了纪录
ln August and September, the highest
number of weddings ever recorded.
白色是唯一的服装颜色
White the only wear.
穿白衣服也是为了灯火管制,为的是
让汽车司机在天黑的时候能看到你
White for the blackout too, to make sure
car drivers can see you in the dark.
一开始灯火管制有点象开玩笑
At first the blackout
was a bit of a joke.
接着交通肇事伤亡数猛增
灯火管制就不再好笑了
Then road casualties shot up
and the blackout wasn't funny any more.
当时还没空袭,
There were no air raids,
但数以千计的人在因灯火管制
而造成的交通事故中伤亡
but thousands of people were killed
or injured in accidents in the blackout.
也很压抑要是没有它,
你几乎能忘了还在打仗
Depressing, too. Without it, you could
almost forget there was a war on.
每晚,每户人家都必须关掉灯火
Every night, every home
had to be blacked out.
负责寻找灯光的空袭民防队长
The air-raid warden
looking for chinks of light
变得比希♥特♥勒♥还遭人恨
became more hated than Hitler.
政♥府♥在战争开始时关闭了电影院和其他娱乐场所
The government closed cinemas and other
entertainments at the beginning of the war.
两星期后他们被允许重新开放
A fortnight later
they were allowed to open again.
(♪ 乐队演奏 "我们将和
齐格菲防线上的洗衣人一起玩")
(♪ band plays "We're Going to Hang Out
the Washing on the Siegfried Line")
尽管爆发了全面战争,
仍有差不多一百五十万人失业
ln spite of total war, there were nearly
a million and a half unemployed.
(英国)财政部长约翰·西蒙爵士,
Sir John Simon,
the chancellor of the exchequer,
提出了一项紧急预算案
introduced an emergency budget.
在三小时后
ln three hours' time
所有预算案的秘密都将被披露
all budget secrets will be revealed.
我相信无论英国纳税人
将必须背负怎么样的包袱
I am confident that, whatever may be the burdens
which have to be carried by the British taxpayer,
我的同胞们都会将其承担起来
my fellow countrymen will bear them
就象当我们的战士在战场上执行更严酷
的任务时,将展现出的决心和勇气一样
with the same resolution and courage as our
fighting men will show when they discharge
their grimmer task on the field of battle.
灯火管制预算案
所得税上升到到7先令6便士
The blackout budget.
lncome tax up to 7s 6d.
多余利润征收60%的税
A 60% tax on excess profit.
现在回头来看,这个预算案算够温和了
ln retrospect, mild enough,
但一个保守党下院议员,奇普斯·阐农,
but a Conservative MP, Chips Channon,
认为它拆毁了资本主义大厦
thought it demolished
the edifice of capitalism.
另一个保守党党员,里奥·艾莫瑞,
想让战争升级为何不轰炸德国呢?
Another Tory, Leo Amery, wanted
a tougher war. Why not bomb Germany?
空军部长金斯利·伍德说不行
The air minister Kingsley Wood said no.
德国弹♥药♥工厂是私有企业
German munition works
were private property
而且德国人会报复的
and the Germans would retaliate.
战争的开始阶段
The opening phase of the war
是我所经历的最不寻常的时期之一,
was one of the most extraordinary
periods through which l've lived,
因为对本国人♥民♥来说,
这是一个极度愉快的时期
because it was a period of euphoria
on the part of the people of this country.
有很长一段时间
还有很多人失业,
For a long time
there were quite a lot of unemployed,
而德国人则在开足马力生产军♥火♥,
while the Germans
were manufacturing arms at full stretch,
特别是当时已经被他们占领的
坐落于捷克斯洛伐克的斯科达兵工厂,
particularly in the Skoda works in Czechoslovakia,
which they had by that time occupied.
在德国人象在蜂房♥里的蜜蜂
那样忙来忙去的这段时间里,
Now, all this time the Germans
were a beehive of activity.
我们绝对是无所事事
We were doing absolutely nothing.
我们已为了保卫波兰而参战
We'd gone to war
for the defence of Poland.
可事实上,我们根本就
没做什么来帮助波兰
ln the event, we did nothing
to help Poland at all.
我们没动过一根手指头
We never lifted a finger.
在战争的头三个月里,
For the first three months of the war,
最大的伤亡是在灯火管制时发生的
the greatest number of casualties
were in the blackout.
我们把我们的战争努力限制
在向德国人♥民♥空投传♥单♥
We confined our war effort to dropping
leaflets on the German people
告诉他们参战是个坏主意
telling them that it was a bad idea
to go to war
而很遗憾他们已经这么做了
and that it was a pity
that they'd done it
或许我们还可以谈和
and perhaps we might make peace.
虚假战争
The Phoney War.
当一家德国飞机11月在苏格兰坠毁,
When a German plane
crashed in Scotland in November,
人们从周围数英里外来看它
people came from miles around to see it.
死去的德国空军飞行员
被以全套军礼下葬
And the Luftwaffe's dead were buried
with full military honours.
战争开始后三个英国师开赴法国
Three British divisions went off
to France at the beginning of the war.
更多的师跟进 "差不多200,000人,"
战争部长骄傲地说.
More followed. "Nearly 200,000 men,"
said the war minister proudly.
法国人已经动员了六百万人
The French had mobilised
six million men.
他们抱怨英国人没有把战争当回事
They grumbled that the British
weren't taking the war seriously.
