1945年4月1日，历史上的这一天，美军入侵冲绳，这是第二次世界大战的最后一场重大战役
正文翻译
"Taking Okinawa would provide Allied forces an airbase from which bombers could strike Japan and an advanced anchorage for Allied fleets. From Okinawa, U.S. forces could increase air strikes against Japan and blockade important logistical routes, denying the home islands of vital commodities."
“夺取冲绳将会为盟军提供空军基地，轰炸机可以从这个基地袭击日本，并为盟军舰队提供前进码头。从冲绳出发，美军可以增大对日本的空袭，封锁重要的后勤路线，阻止日本主岛获得重要的商品。
American war planners were shocked by the fanatical suicides of both civilians on the island and kamikaze pilots attacking U.S. warships supporting the invasion.
美国的战争计划人员对岛上平民的狂热自杀和神风敢死队飞行员袭击支援入侵军队的美国军舰感到震惊。
"Many civilians, often entire families, committed suicide rather than surrender to Americans, by some accounts on the orders of fanatical Japanese soldiers," Reuters reported in a 2007 anniversary story of the Battle of Okinawa.
2007年冲绳战役周年纪念报道，路透社在报道中说：“许多平民，通常是整个家庭，宁愿自杀，也不愿向美国人投降，据某些报道称行动是在狂热的日本士兵的命令下执行的。
They struck 149 American ships, leaving nearly 10,000 Americans dead, wounded or missing.
The intense battle claimed the lives of the top-ranking soldiers on both sides of the conflict.
他们袭击了 149 艘美国船只，造成近 10,000 名美国人死亡、受伤及失踪。
激烈的战斗夺走了冲突的双方最优秀士兵的生命。
Perhaps the most famous person killed on Okinawa was celebrity U.S. war correspondent Ernie Pyle, who chronicled the war in both Europe and Asia and won the acclaim of American troops for his front-line reporting.
也许在冲绳遇难的最著名人士是美国的战地记者明星厄尼·派尔（Ernie Pyle），他记录了欧洲地区和亚洲地区的战争，并因其前线报道而赢得了美军的赞誉。
The impact of the Battle of Okinawa is still being felt today.

日本平民集体自杀，神风敢死队令杜鲁门总统深信原子弹将会挽救数百万人的生命
The United States launched a massive invasion of the Japanese home island of Okinawa, with an initial landing of 60,000 soldiers and marines, on this day in history, April 1, 1945.
The Battle of Okinawa proved the last major engagement of World War II and the largest battle of the entire war in the Pacific Theater.
1945 年 4 月 1 日，历史上的这一天，美国对日本本土的冲绳岛发动了大规模入侵，最开始有 60,000 名士兵和海军陆战队员登陆。
冲绳战役是第二次世界大战的最后一次重大战斗，也是整个太平洋战场中规模最大的战役。

冲绳战役是第二次世界大战的最后一次重大战斗，也是整个太平洋战场中规模最大的战役。
Kamikazes, mass civilian suicide, the use of children in combat, the deaths of top-ranking officers and atrocious casualties on both sides defined the nearly three-month-long brutal engagement, which ended in U.S. victory on June 22.
神风敢死队、平民集体自杀、在战斗中使用儿童、高级军官的死亡和双边残酷的伤亡定义了这场长达近三个月的野蛮交战，最终于 6 月 22 日以美国的胜利告终。
神风敢死队、平民集体自杀、在战斗中使用儿童、高级军官的死亡和双边残酷的伤亡定义了这场长达近三个月的野蛮交战，最终于 6 月 22 日以美国的胜利告终。
Its catastrophic battle had a dramatic impact on the shape of the world to come — convincing President Truman that the atomic bomb would hasten the end of the war and save millions of lives.
"Although the joint Army-Marine Corps landings on Okinawa were initially unopposed, the well dug-in Japanese defenders soon put up fierce resistance," writes the National World War II Museum.
这场灾难性的战斗对未来世界的模样产生了巨大的影响——使杜鲁门总统深信原子弹将会加速战争的结束并挽救数百万人的生命。
“尽管陆军 - 海军陆战队在冲绳的联合登陆最初没有受到袭击，但深挖壕沟的日本守军很快就进行了激烈的抵抗，”国家二战博物馆写道。

"By the time Okinawa was secured by American forces on June 22, 1945, the United States had sustained over 49,000 casualties, including more than 12,500 men killed or missing," reports the National World War II Museum.
It adds, "Okinawans caught in the fighting suffered greatly, with an estimate as high as 150,000 civilians killed" — about half the pre-invasion population of the island.
“直到 1945 年 6 月 22 日美军占领冲绳时，美国已经伤亡超过 49,000 人，其中包括 12,500 多名士兵死亡或失踪，”国家二战博物馆的报告说到。

Many GIs watched in horror as civilians leaped to their deaths over the cliffs of Okinawa, often with their children by their side or in their arms, rather than face U.S. troops.
One area of Okinawa is still known today as Suicide Cliff.
许多美国士兵惊恐地看着冲绳的平民宁可在悬崖上跳下身亡，他们往往带着孩子在身边或抱在怀里，而不是面对美国军队。
冲绳的一个地方至今仍被称为自杀崖。

"Four of us tried to commit suicide with one hand grenade, but it did not go off."
“我们被告知，如果妇女被俘虏，将会被强奸，所以我们不应该让自己被俘虏，”一名幸存者告诉新闻媒体。

"This was the only battle in the Pacific War [in which] both commanding generals were killed," wrote Michael A. Eyre for Texas A&M University Corpus Christi.
"The Japanese commander, General Ushijima, committed harikari and his American counterpart, Lieutenant General Buckner, was killed by mortar fire. Buckner was the highest ranking American officer to be killed in World War II. This demonstrates the significance and ferocity of the fight for Okinawa."

“日本的指挥官牛岛将军（General Ushijima）忠诚的切腹自尽，他的美国对手巴克纳（Buckner）中将被迫击炮杀死。巴克纳是二战中阵亡的最高级别的美国军官。这证明了冲绳战役的重要性和残忍性。

"The losses at Okinawa convinced U.S. war planners that any invasion of Japan would incur unacceptable casualties," writes the Imperial War Museum of London.
"Their estimates, at worst as many as 1 million U.S. servicemen, were a key factor in President Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb."
“冲绳的损失令美国的战争规划者相信，任何入侵日本的方法都会造成难以接受的伤亡，”伦敦帝国战争博物馆写道。
“他们的估计，最坏的情况是多达100万美国军人死亡，这是杜鲁门总统决定使用原子弹的关键因素。

当我读这些二战文章时，我不禁想起了我的叔叔，他在太平洋的塔拉瓦作战。这些人是伟大的，他们能够分辨是非，不太能适应今天的世界，是我有幸认识的真正的最伟大的一代。

Who do you think taught the soldiers right from wrong in the first place? The soldiers were only a part of the greatest generation...people whose lives shaped the character of a Nation.
And wjhose government reflected that character. Compare that to what we have today.

Tarawa was a nightmare. Mistakes made, lessons learned in blood. Greatest generation indeed. Brave men like your uncle would probably be "a bit" confused by stories defending drag shows in elementary schools.
塔拉瓦是一个噩梦。犯了错误，通过鲜血吸取了教训。确实是最伟大的一代人。像你叔叔这样勇敢的人可能会对为在小学生搞变装秀进行辩护的故事感到‘有点’困惑。

I served in Okinawa, 1974-1981. Married a wonderful lady that I worked with on base in 1976, still married today. This lady is my best friend and companion. We are visiting family in Okinawa at present. A lot has changed. Okinawa to me is crowded and seems to be one large city. I visited many of the battle locations, it hard to not feel. My wife’s father whom I am proud and honored to know fought us. Dad in 1976 stated no hard feelings or hatred, soldiers do as ordered. Stated he was honored and approved the marriage to a US MARINE!
1974年至1981年期间，我在冲绳服役。1976年，我和一位在基地上一起工作的美妙女士结婚了，直到今日。这位女士是我最好的朋友与同伴。我们目前正在冲绳探亲。很多事情都发生了变化。 对我来说，冲绳变得很拥挤，似乎成为了一个大城市。我访问了许多过去的战斗地点，很难不去感受。我为之自豪和尊敬的岳父和曾经与我们战斗过。岳父在1976年说过，没有怨恨和仇恨，士兵们只是按照命令行事。他说很荣幸并同意了与一位美国海军陆战队的婚姻！

Dad was there, he refused to talk about it until a few months before he passed away. We never got actual details but from what little he said it was a horrific experience. "I close my eyes and I see it all in full color; I can still see it, I can still smell it." He wasn't a religious man but he had very deep faith. "That morning dawn was overcast, heavy cloud cover. It was Easter Sunday and every ship was holding services on deck; at the same time small breaks began appearing in the clouds and beams of sunshine came through touching every ship in the fleet. No one had to say it, we all knew God was sending a blessing." Dad came home with deep shrapnel wounds in his legs, the doctors couldn't remove all of the small bits that caused him pain as he aged.
The greatest generation, may God bless the few still with us and the memory of those who are not.
爸爸曾去过那里，直到几个月前他去世，他都拒绝谈论这件事。我们从未得到过真正的细节，但从他透露过的只言片语来看，那是一个可怕的经历。“我闭上眼睛，我看到的它是色彩鲜明的;我依然还能看到它，我还能闻到它。”他不是一个宗教人士，但他有着非常虔诚的信仰。“那天早晨的拂晓是阴沉的，遍布着厚重的云层。那天是复活节，星期天，每艘船都在甲板上举行着仪式; 微小的裂缝开始同时出现在云层之中，太阳的光线，透云而过，抚摸着舰队中的每一艘船。没有人说话，但我们都知道上帝，正在送上祝福。”爸爸退伍时，腿上带着深深的弹片伤痕，因为他年龄的关系，医生无法清除所有的造成他疼痛的碎片。
最伟大的一代，愿上帝保佑仍在我们身边的少数人，并保佑那些已不在我们身边的人。

My Dad was only 18 and was one of the initial 60,000 deployed to the invasion of Okinawa, aka: Operation Iceberg on this day in 1945. He too never talked about it later in life. Like many others that survived the horrific fighting, he had scars to his face, abdomen, arms, and legs from bullet wounds and shrapnel. After the invasion was over, the Marines assigned him to China to help restore peace in that post war region prior to being honorably discharged. Four years before he passed away, The Marines came to his home to honor his WWII service with a medal of heroic service. We have the ceremony on video and will be a keepsake forever held close.
我父亲当时只有18岁，是最开始部署入侵冲绳 60,000 人之一。1945 年这一天又名：冰山行动。他同样从来不在之后的生活中谈论到它。像许多其他在这场可怕的战斗中幸存下来的人一样，他的脸部、腹部、手臂和腿部都有子弹留下的疤痕和弹片。入侵结束后，海军陆战队分配他到中国，在他荣誉退役之前，帮助恢复那个战后地区的和平。在他去世的四年前，海军陆战队来到他的家里感谢他在二战的付出，并获得一枚英勇服务勋章。我们把这个仪式录了下来，这将是一个永久的纪念品。

Extremely proud of my deceased Dad. He was a U.S. Marine who served in A Battery, 1st Battalion, 15th Marine Regiment, 6th Marine Division the entire 82 days of/for the Battle of Okinawa.
