两枚炸弹的故事
in 1940, at the height of the blitz, a british police officer found in a busy street a huge unexploded bomb. he cordoned off the area, and stood alone next to the bomb to warn people to stay away. he was last seen by a journalist before the bomb went off. nobody else was hurt, but the body of the police officer was never found.in another case, when a bomb disposal team tried to defuse an unexploded bomb, they found that the fuse system had been replaced with cement. the casing of the bomb bore the name of a czech factory. clearly, czech workers, whose country had been conquered by the nazis even before the war had begun, were risking their lives to save people they would never know
一九四○年，德国大举空袭伦敦期间，英国一名警察在繁忙的街道上，看见一枚未爆炸的巨型炸弹。他把附近一带封锁，独自站在炸弹旁边，警告大家不要接近。炸弹爆炸之前，最后见到他的是一位记者。那警察的尸体没有人找到，其他人则一个都没有受伤。又有一次，有炸弹拆除队要拆除一枚未爆炸弹的引信，却发觉引信系统换了水泥。炸弹壳上有一家捷克工厂的名字。捷克早在第二次世界大战之前，已被纳粹德国侵占。但很明显，捷克工人为免伤害他们永远不会认识的人，不怕冒生命危险。＊ blitz是德文 blitzkrieg的缩写，意思是「闪电战」，指迅速的大规模进攻，务求一举打败对方。 the blitz一般指一九四○年德国对伦敦的空袭。
