東亞。香港是中國的一個特別行政區(qū),但它在1842年至1997年間是英國的一部分。這就是為什么在1941年的第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,日本軍隊入侵香港,因為他們的國家已經(jīng)向英國和美國宣戰(zhàn)。一年后,美國陸軍航空隊開始轟炸香港。數(shù)十起空襲襲擊了香港。
And just like we’ve seen in parts of Germany, unexpected World War II bombs continue to be unearthed in Hong Kong decades later. Two of them have been found in the past week and at least one of the bombs was confirmed to be an American design.
就像我們在德國的部分地區(qū)看到的那樣,在幾十年后的香港,人們還在不斷地發(fā)現(xiàn)第二次世界大戰(zhàn)的炸彈。兩枚炸彈在過去一周被發(fā)現(xiàn),至少有一枚炸彈被確認為是美國制作。
Just because these devices are 75 years old doesn’t mean they’re no longer dangerous. Evacuations were made, roads and businesses were closed and some ferry services had to be stopped while experts worked around the clock to defuse the bombs. Both were the same type but one of them had a badly damaged fuse, making it more challenging to defuse.
僅僅因為這些設(shè)備已經(jīng)75年了,并不意味著它們不再危險。人員被疏散,道路和商店被關(guān)閉,一些輪渡服務被迫停止,而專家們則晝夜不停地拆除炸彈。兩者都是同一類型,但其中一個有嚴重損壞的保險絲,使其任務更具有挑戰(zhàn)性。

First to East Asia. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, but it was part of Great Britain between 1842 and 1997. And that’s why during the Second World War in 1941, Japanese troops invaded Hong Kong after their nation had declared war on Britain and the U.S. The U.S. Army Air Corps began bombing the territory a year later. Dozens of air raids struck Hong Kong.
And just like we’ve seen in parts of Germany, unexpected World War II bombs continue to be unearthed in Hong Kong decades later. Two of them have been found in the past week and at least one of the bombs was confirmed to be an American design.
Just because these devices are 75 years old doesn’t mean they’re no longer dangerous.
