OF TERROR

Originally published: 9/12/2001

The morning coffee was still cooling when our g

randest illusion was minutes,

one of New York's mightiest symbols was a smold

ering mess and the nation's image of

invincibility was made a lie.

恐怖的一日

最初发表于2001年9月12日

早晨的咖啡还没有凉,我们最宏伟的幻想却已被粉碎。在数分钟

时间内,纽约最显赫的象征之一成了一堆余烟未尽的废墟,而这个国

家不可战胜的形象也成了一个谎言。

2. As the World Trade Center crumpled and the

streets filled with screams and scenes of unimaginab

le horror, choking smoke blotted out the sun and p

lunged lower Manhattan into darkness.

当世界贸易中心倒塌、街道上到处都有人哭叫、充满难以想象的

恐怖场景时,令人窒息的烟雾遮住了太阳,使曼哈顿下城区陷入了一

片黑暗。

3. Those not entombed by the bomb-blasted buil

dings ran and ran — just as they did eight years

earlier, when another terror attack shook this might

y symbol of America's power.

那些炸毁的大楼内未被掩埋的人跑啊跑——就像八年前另一次

恐怖袭击震撼了这个美国力量的显赫标志一样。

the rest of the country, there was anothe

r shock to digest — a second kamikaze attack. Thi

s time on the Pentagon.

对于美国其他地方的人们,还有另一次震惊需要承受——第二次

自杀性袭击,这次是对准五角大楼的。

5. More horror. More amazement that t

he mighty United States could be so vulnerable to

terror.
