I SURVIVED THE BOMBING OF PEARL HARBOR, 1941

我在1941年的珍珠港轰炸中幸存了下来

CHAPTER 1 DECEMBER 7, 1941 8:05 A.M. PEARL CITY, HAWAII America was under attack! Hundreds of bomber planes were swarming over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. They swooped down, machine guns roaring. Bombs and torpedoes rained down.

第一章1941年12月7日上午8:05 夏威夷珍珠城，美国遭到攻击!数百架轰炸机在夏威夷的珍珠港上空盘旋。 他们俯冲下来，机关枪轰鸣。 炸弹和鱼雷如雨点般落下。

Explosions ripped through the blue Hawaiian sky. Kaboom … Kaboom … KABOOM! America's mightiest warships were in flames. A curtain of smoke — black and bloody red — surrounded the harbor. Eleven-year-old Danny Crane had moved to Hawaii just weeks before. Ma had brought Danny to Hawaii to get him out of trouble, away from the crime and the rats and the dirty, dangerous streets of New York City. But he'd never felt more terrified than he did right now, alone and running for his life. One of the attacking planes had burst out of the smoke and was closing in on him across an empty beach. Danny sprinted through the sand, but there was nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. He peered over his shoulder as the plane flew closer. He could see into the cockpit. The pilot was glaring at him through his goggles. Rat, tat, tat, tat. Rat tat tat tat. Machine-gun fire!

爆炸撕裂了夏威夷的蓝天。 砰……砰……砰!美国最强大的战舰在燃烧。 黑色和血红色的烟幕包围了海港。 11岁的丹尼·克兰几周前刚搬到夏威夷。 妈妈把丹尼带到夏威夷是为了让他摆脱麻烦，远离犯罪、老鼠和纽约肮脏、危险的街道。 但他从来没有像现在这样感到恐惧，独自一人逃命。 一架攻击机从烟雾中冲出，正隔着一片空旷的海滩向他逼近。 丹尼在沙滩上狂奔，但他无处可去，无处可藏。 当飞机飞近时，他从肩膀上往外看。 他能看到驾驶舱。 飞行员正透过护目镜瞪着他。 老鼠，那，那，那。老鼠，老鼠，老鼠。 机关枪火!

Danny pushed himself to run faster. Searing pain filled his chest as he inhaled the smoky air. Rat, tat, tat, tat. Rat tat tat tat. Sand flew up into Danny's eyes. And then from behind him, a huge explosion seemed to shatter the world. The force lifted Danny off his feet and threw him onto the ground. And then Danny couldn't hear anything at all.

丹尼强迫自己跑得更快。 当他吸入烟雾的空气时，灼热的疼痛充满了他的胸膛。 老鼠，那，那，那。老鼠，老鼠，老鼠。 沙子飞进了丹尼的眼睛。 然后，从他身后，一个巨大的爆炸似乎粉碎了世界。 这股力量把丹尼从地上掀了起来，把他摔在地上。 然后丹尼什么都听不见了。
