诺曼底登陆77周年

When the sun rises over Omaha Beach, revealing vast stretches of wet sand extending toward distant cliffs, one starts to grasp the immensity of the task faced by Allied soldiers on June 6, 1944, landing on the Nazi-occupied Normandy shore.

当太阳从奥马哈海滩升起时,大片潮湿的沙滩向远处的悬崖延伸,人们开始意识到盟军士兵在1944年6月6日登陆纳粹占领的诺曼底海岸所面临的艰巨任务。

Several ceremonies were being held Sunday to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the decisive assault that led to the liberation of France and western Europe from Nazi control, and honor those who fell.

星期天举行了几场仪式,纪念法国和西欧从纳粹控制下解放出来的决定性进攻77周年,并纪念那些殉难者。

"These are the men who enabled liberty to regain a foothold on the European continent, and who in the days and weeks that followed lifted the shackles of tyranny, hedgerow by Normandy hedgerow, mile by bloody mile," Britain's ambassador to France, Lord Edward Llewelyn, said at the inauguration of a new British monument to D-Day's heroes.

“正是这些英雄让自由重回欧洲大陆,他们在接下来的几天到几周的时间里,推翻了暴君的统治,打开了诺曼底封锁墙,用热血浇灌了每一英里前进的土地,”英国驻法国外交大使爱德华·卢埃林在纪念诺曼底登陆的典礼上说道。

On D-Day, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches code-named Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold, carried by 7,000 boats.

在登陆日当天,有超过十五万盟军部队登陆了海滩,他们的代号分别有奥马哈,犹他,朱诺,利剑和黄金等,乘坐的船只有七千多艘。

This year on June 6, the beaches stood vast and nearly empty as the sun emerged, exactly 77 years since the dawn invasion.

今年6月6日,当太阳升起时,海滩上一片空旷,正好是当时黎明战役的77周年。

Some reenactors came to Omaha Beach in the early hours of the day to pay tribute to those who fell that day, bringing flowers and American flags.

一些纪念者在当天凌晨来到奥马哈海滩,带着鲜花和美国国旗向那一天遇难的人们致敬。

On D-Day, 4,414 Allied troops lost their lives, 2,501 of them Americans.
