14."I see him!" the left waist gunner said.” It’s a jet-one of those new Me 262's!"
14、“我看到它了！”左腰部機(jī)槍手說。“它是架噴氣機(jī)，是新型ME262中的一架！”
15."Can't even hold him in the sight," the gunner said.
15、“簡直不能‘盯’住它，”機(jī)槍手說。
16.If one of their new jets hits you, just start shooting and hope that you hit him. You won't get a chance to aim. That’s what we had been told. The enemy had a fighter so fast we couldn't even hold a sight on it. It was something we had never heard of. Something they called a "jet."
16、我們曾被告知：如果他們的新型噴氣機(jī)沖向你，立即掃射，但愿你打中它，你沒有瞄準(zhǔn)它的機(jī)會(huì)。敵人有一種戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)太快，我們甚至不能‘看’住它。這是我們從沒聽說過的東西，敵人稱之為“噴氣機(jī)”。
17.And now the jet came at us! Our nose turret turned wildly to follow it. The electric motors of the turret hummed. The gunner tried to bring his guns around.
17、現(xiàn)在噴氣機(jī)沖向我們！我們的前炮塔發(fā)瘋似地旋轉(zhuǎn)著跟隨它。炮塔的電動(dòng)機(jī)嗡嗡叫。機(jī)槍手試圖帶著他的槍轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。
18.Looking over the other waist gunner's shoulder, I saw the enemy jet. Saw its shining green nose and its high rudder. It knifed through the spring air toward our plane.
18、從另外一個(gè)腰部機(jī)槍手的肩上看去，我看到了敵人的噴氣機(jī)?？吹搅怂拈W亮的綠色鼻子和高高的方向舵。它刀劈般穿過春天的天空接近我們的飛機(jī)。
19.In seconds the jet's cannon would fire. In seconds it would all be over. Our bomber would fold. It would streak down to smash in the mountains below.
19、幾秒中內(nèi)噴氣機(jī)的大炮將開火，幾秒鐘內(nèi)一切將結(jié)束。我們的轟炸機(jī)將折疊成團(tuán)。它將瞬間下墜粉碎在下面的山上。
20.In seconds...Then I noticed that it had not yet fired a single shot. All of us stared. We were ready for the blow. But no one fired!
20、幾秒鐘內(nèi)……突然，我注意到它沒有發(fā)射一發(fā)子彈。我們所有人都凝視著。我們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備著爆炸。但是沒有人開火。
21.The jet was in range. Its shining nose was on us as it closed in for the kill.
21、噴氣機(jī)確實(shí)在射程以內(nèi)。它閃亮的鼻子對(duì)著我們，似乎它要靠近來進(jìn)行屠殺。
22.Then the unbelievable: the enemy jet leveled off. It flashed below us and was gone.
22、這時(shí)令人難以置信的事情發(fā)生了，敵人的噴氣機(jī)與我們的飛機(jī)拉成水平。它閃向我們的下面，然后離去。
23."Close!" somebody said. “Too close!"
23、“太近了！”有人說?！疤?！”
24.Then we went back to the business of getting home. I guess most of the crew forgot about that jet that had us in its sights. But I have never forgotten it.
24、之后，大家重新回到飛回家的事情里。我猜想機(jī)組的大多數(shù)人現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)忘掉那架置我們于其視距的噴氣機(jī)。但是，我從來沒有忘掉它。
25.Was the German pilot out of ammunition? Did his guns jam at the last second? Or was it more than that? Was he tired of killing?
25、是德國飛行員沒有彈藥？是最后一秒他的機(jī)槍卡殼？或者還有更多隱情？或者是他已經(jīng)厭倦于殺戮？
26.I'll never be sure. I don't know what held the fire of our own gunners. But the sky changed from a rain of hate to a blue sky of hope.
26、我可能永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)弄清。我也不知道為什么我們的機(jī)槍手沒有開火。但是天變了，從一個(gè)討厭的雨天變成我們所希望的藍(lán)天。
