Remembered War 部分,未完待序

However, 5th Air Force instructed airmen to keep up the pressure until the appointed time, so Parr turned his F-86 Sabre and made several passes by the stranger. Parr identified it as a North Korean Ilyushin Il-12. With one long burst of gunfire, he sent it spiraling earthward in flames.
尽管如此,第五航空大队还是要求飞行员们在协议生效前保持警惕.于是parr驾驶着他的F-86朝那架飞机飞去并几次擦肩而过,此时他认出这是一架北朝鲜空军的伊尔-12.随着一长串炮弹的飞过,这架伊尔-12瞬间变成一团火球打着转儿扎向地面.
That was the war’s last air-to-air encounter. Fifty years ago this month, at precisely 10:01 p.m. on July 27, the fighting between US-led United Nations forces and North Korean Communist aggressors came to an end.

以上所描述的是朝鲜战争中的最后一次空中遭遇战.50年前的这个月,准确的说是在这一年的七月27日晚10:01, 以美国为首的联合国军与北朝鲜侵略者(译者:原文如此)达成了停战协议.
When it did, the Korean peninsula was divided in two nations, with heavily armed forces facing each other across the 38th parallel. So the situation has remained, to this day.
也就是从那天起,朝鲜半岛被人为地分割成了两个国家----沿北纬38度线,两支庞大的军事力量虎视耽耽地盯着对方----直到今天.
Korea may have been America’s “forgotten war,” overshadowed by World War II, but in retrospect it was clearly a pivotal event for the US military in general and US Air Force in particular
在第二次世界大战光环的照耀下,朝鲜战争在美国成了"被遗忘的战争".但回溯历史,这场战争无疑是美国军队特别是美国空军成长史上的一个转折点.
At the war’s beginning in June 1950, the United States was woefully unprepared to counter North Korea’s armed aggression. Force size and the military budget had shrunk to a tiny fraction of their World War II levels. Yet, by the end of the fighting 37 months later, the United States had laid the foundation for the large standing force throughout the Cold War.
1950年战争伊始时, 美国对于朝鲜的武装入侵完全没有准备,被打得措手不及.此时,无论是军队的规模还是军事预算都远远不及二战时的水平.然而,正是这37个月的战火洗礼使得美国军队得以进一步地壮大并以此在冷战中岿然挺立.
(Pilots flying F-82 Twin Mustangs, such as this one, scored aerial victories in the war’s early days. When Soviet-built MiGs entered the conflict, though, the F-82s were overmatched.)
飞行中的F-82双身野马.这种飞机曾在战争初期大出风头,但随着苏制MIG飞机的加入,F-82被打得落花流水.
请各位大虾们多多指教,多提意见.


撑不下去了,我要睡觉了,剩下的我会在这几天翻完的,算是本人入会的考试卷吧:)However, 5th Air Force instructed airmen to keep up the pressure until the appointed time, so Parr turned his F-86 Sabre and made several passes by the stranger.
