英语PK台 第1025期:70华诞国庆大阅兵亮点期待(在线收听) |
Dialogue 1 Jingjing: Mark, are you going to pick out a spot along the street and watch the parade? 京晶:马克,你打算在街上找个地方看国庆阅兵吗? Mark: I like parades. But I'm afraid it will be too much of a mob scene. 马克:我很喜欢看阅兵。但恐怕到时会是人山人海的场面了。 Jingjing: Yeah, and it might be hard to get in and out of the area. 京晶:是的,到时阅兵区域的进出可能都会很难。 Mark: Oh well. Last time, there was big parade for the V-Day anniversary, and I stayed in my room outside the 5th Ring and watched it on an iPad. 马克:好吧。上次九三抗战胜利纪念日大阅兵时,我是呆在我五环外的房间里用IPad看阅兵的。 Jingjing: Aww, man. You were too far away even to see the planes in the sky. 京晶:可怜的人,你住得太远了连天上的飞机都看不见。 Mark: Right, I was north of the city. And the planes were flying east to west. What about you? 马克:对啊,我那时住城北,飞机是从东往西飞。那你呢? Jingjing: Well, where I was living, and where I still live, is a little more centrally located than that. I got to see a few jet flyovers from my window. That was pretty awesome. 京晶:还好,九三阅兵那会和现在我仍住的地方比你离市中心更近,我能从窗口看到了一些战斗机飞过呢,非常壮观。 Mark: Wow. I like seeing military planes, especially fighters. I heard that the J-20 is supposed to make an appearance at this parade. 马克:哇哦。我喜欢看军用飞机,尤其是战斗机。我听说歼-20将在这次阅兵式上亮相。 Jingjing: You mean the Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter jet? I read about that. Also, the Xi'an H-6K bomber might make an appearance. People claimed to have seen it in rehearsals. But I'm not really sure. 京晶:你说的是歼-20隐形战斗机吗?我也听说了。另外,据说轰-6也要出场。大家都说在演练彩排中看到了。但我不敢确定。 Mark: That'd be quite a sight. I have yet to see a bomber in flight, or even hear one, come to think of it. What do you think will be the most interesting part? 马克:那还真是一景。现在想想,我还没有亲眼见过飞行中的轰炸机,轰鸣声都没听过。你认为最有趣的部分会是什么? Jingjing: I liked seeing the squadron of helicopters in 2015. 京晶:我喜欢在2015年看到的直升机表演中队。 Mark: Oh yeah, they flew over with those huge flags. That was pretty impressive. 马克:哦,是的,它们悬挂着巨幅旗帜(国旗和军旗)飞过,令人过目难忘。 Jingjing: Also, this year, they're going to fly in formation, as the number 70. Someone posted a video of that from a rehearsal. 京晶:而且,今年他们将呈“70”字样编队翱翔。有人上传了一段来自彩排演练的视频。 Mark: Man, it really would be better to stand on Chang'an and see all that roll by and fly over. 马克:啧啧,如果能站在长安街上看着所有飞机轰鸣着飞过,那就更好了。 Jingjing: Would you really want to stand in the sun for so long? 京晶:你真想在阳光底下站那么长时间吗? Mark: I might. But it's also good to watch it from home and eat snacks whenever I want them. 马克:我也许可以。但是在家看也挺好,边吃零食边看。 Jingjing: Ha ha. Well, wherever you are, I hope you enjoy it! 京晶:哈。不管你在哪里看,希望你看得开心。 New words : 习语短语 V-Day 第二次世界大战对日战争胜利纪念日 – Victory over Japan Day Flyover 〔表演性的〕低空飞行 – when a plane flies over, making a low pass over an area with people watching Fighter 战斗机;歼击机 – a small plane that can move quickly and can shoot down other planes (In a dogfight, one fighter tries to shoot down another fighter. More often, fighters are used to shoot down enemy bombers or make precise strikes against ground targets.) Stealth 〔战斗机的〕隐身技术 – the ability of a plane to avoid radar detection Bomber 轰炸机 – a larger plane which carries bombs to drop on ground targets or launches ballistic missiles from its fuselage) fly in formation 编队飞行 – fly close together at the same speed, usually making a shape in the air 2 Dialogue 2 Jingjing: Mark, have you heard that this year's parade will be even bigger than the 2015 V-Day parade? 京晶:马克,你听说了今年阅兵式的规模比2015年的胜利日阅兵式还要更大吗? Mark: Yes, I heard it's the biggest one yet. It's a great chance to see some never-before-seen weapons. 马克:是的,我听说今年将是迄今为止最大的。这是一个能看到一些从未公开亮相过的武器的好机会。 Jingjing: Right. We talked last time about planes, mostly. 京晶:对啊。上次我们主要说到了飞机。 Mark: And helicopters. 马克:还有直升机。 Jingjing: Helicopters, yes. Do you know much about ground vehicles and missiles? 京晶:是的,还有直升机。那你对地面装备和导弹了解多少? Mark: Not nearly as much. I read about the DF-41, though. That's pretty state-of-the-art. 马克:不太了解。不过,我知道东风-41弹道导弹。这是顶尖的。 Jingjing: Refresh my memory. What can it do? 京晶:你给我说说。它是做什么的? Mark: Well, it's a ground vehicle, and it can carry 10 to 12 missiles, each with a warhead, and each able to be directed at a different target. 马克:它是一种地面运载平台,它可以携带10到12枚导弹,每枚导弹都带一个弹头,同时每枚导弹可以分别瞄准不同的目标。 Jingjing: Are those intercontinental missiles, and can the target be changed once a missile is launched? 京晶:这些是洲际导弹吗?一旦导弹发射,目标能改变吗? Mark: Yes to the first question. It's the heaviest ICBM ever developed on wheels. And I'd assume yes to the second question. Again, I know less about those kinds of things. 马克:你的第一个问题答案是:肯定。东风41是有史以来最重的车载洲际弹道导弹。我猜测第二个问题也是肯定的。再强调一次,我对这些武器所知甚少。 Jingjing: Of course. Well, it does sound like it's going to be a spectacular parade. Hey, we still haven't talked about the fireworks! 京晶:那是那是。嗯,听起来的确是一场壮观盛大的阅兵式。嘿,我们还没说到烟花表演呢! Mark: That's what looks best from a little far away. 马克:那些得从稍微远处看才好看。 Jingjing: Exactly. A bunch of my contacts have posted photos and videos of those fireworks. 京晶:的确是这样。朋友圈里好多人都发了烟花的照片和视频。 Mark: Mine too. 马克:我这里也是。 Jingjing: Well, now the parade is just a few days away. So, I hope you'll pick a good spot, or get comfortable in front of the TV, and have a good time. 京晶:好了,现在离阅兵只有几天了。所以,我希望你能找一个好地方,或者舒服地坐在电视机前,然后开心地看。 Mark: You too, Jingjing. See you after National Day. 马克:京晶,希望你也如此。咱们国庆节后见。 New words : 习语短语 warhead(导弹的)弹头 – an explosive device attached to the tip of a missile intercontinental missile 洲际导弹 – a missile that can reach another continent (the DF-41 missiles, for instance, have a range that includes anywhere in the world) ICBM 洲际弹道导弹 – intercontinental ballistic missile 东风-41弹道导弹为陆基发射的洲际导弹,主要采用公路机动平台,加固地井发射两种方式部署,其中公路机动平台为陕西特种汽车制造厂生产的SX-4320重型牵引车,集储存-运输-起竖-发射一体化,具有一定的越野性能,导弹置于拖车的弹舱内,在运输状态下呈封闭状态,拖车装有两扇对折舱门,发射前舱门开启,导弹通过液压装置起竖发射。公路机动发射能够保持较高的戒备水平,在接到命令后能迅速实施发射,提高了敌方发动第一次核打击时的幸存力。 为什么“东风-41”导弹如此受到外界瞩目?一位不愿意透露姓名的军事专家29日在接受《环球时报》记者采访时表示,“东风-41”是火箭军第四代战略核武器,它的机动作战能力、命中精度、反应时间以及自身生存防护能力等,与前三代导弹核武器相比都得到了大幅提升。我们的第四代核导弹,与美俄正在研制的第七代核导弹在总体技术上基本处于同一水平,在某些技术、材料和工艺上已经达到世界领先水平。 “东风-41”集中体现了颠覆性的创新和革命性的跨越。“东风-41”导弹的射程达到了1.4万公里,火力可以覆盖全球战略目标,这是火箭军历史上射程最远的武器。另外,它的机动性能得到很大提高,它的基本火力单元规模精干灵活,它的命中精度比其他型号的洲际导弹更高,它的隐蔽和生存能力也明显提升,完全适应我们“后发制人”的基本核战略。 这种改变攻击目标才可以随时修正目标,导致了导弹具有了非常强大的反导能力和突防效果,根据国内某专家披露说,东风41导弹能够携带至少在10枚以上的弹头,意思就是一次发射可以同时摧毁10个以上的目标。 |
