巴恩斯.沃利斯（Barnes Neville Wallis，1887年-1979），英国航空工程师，爵士。早年家境清苦，受完中等教育后即辍学求职于工厂和船坞，通过夜校课程和自学成才。1913年进入维克尔的车间从事飞艇的设计和建造。设计过R-100和R-101型飞艇。三十年代，转向飞机设计，设计出惠灵顿式轰炸机，该机种于第二次世界大战爆发前投入生产。此外，还设计了用于摧毁德国提尔皮茨号战列舰和潜艇掩体的高穿透力特大型炸弹以及用于低空轰炸德国鲁尔水坝的“跳弹”（Bouncingbomb）以及“修理店”、“高脚杯”（5.44吨）、“大满贯”（10吨）等巨型炸弹。
盖伊.吉布森（Guy Penrose Gibson，1918-1944），英国皇家空军第617中队的中队长，1943 年5月率领由他所特别组训的第六一七飞行中队的19架重轰炸机成功地低空突袭德国鲁尔地区的水坝（惩戒行动），荣获维多利亚十字勋章。在整个二战期间，英国空军只有7名飞行员在生前获得这一荣誉。1943年5月27日，英王乔治六世和伊丽莎白王后视察了第617中队的驻地并接见吉布森。这个中队如今已经有了一个众人皆知的绰号，叫“毁坝者”（Dambuster）。奉英王的命令，王室纹章院向第617中队颁赠了一个队徽，上面是象征君权的皇冠，中央是被三道雷霆摧毁的大坝，下面的绶带上写着路易十五的爱妾蓬巴杜夫人那句名言： “Apres moi le Deluge” （在我之后，哪怕它洪水滔天） 1944 年9 月，吉布森在执行任务中座机坠毁于荷兰身亡。
1943 年5月吉布森率领中队的轰炸行动，3.3亿立方米的洪水在鲁尔河和埃德尔河流域咆哮而下，在鲁尔河流域淹没了80平方公里的土地，在埃德尔河流域一直淹到富尔达市。洪水一路上卷走了无数的桥梁、房屋、工厂、矿坑、铁路车厢、牲畜和人类。由于德国人在这些地区没有建立洪水报警机制，因此许多人是在睡梦中被洪水卷走的。一座关押波兰和俄国妇女的外国劳工营被整个儿卷走，睡在里面的一千多名妇女有750人淹死在冰冷的洪水中。接下来的一个多星期里，德国搜救人员在鲁尔河谷的泥泞中搜出了1579具尸体，在埃德尔河找到了另外70具死尸。再后来的情报还提供道，德国有125个军工厂因这场突如其来的大水而被迫停工停产。第617 中队此次出征共有19 架飞机，其中损失了9 架；共有133 名飞行员出征（其中有十三名澳大利亚人、两名新西兰人和两名美国人），其中有54 人牺牲。
英国希望这次行动能够成为摧毁德国战争工业的漫长努力中的一个转折点。但施佩尔调来大量工程单位，在很短的时间内修复了默内水坝，英国皇家空军在此时犯了一个错误，他们没有对暴露的大坝工地进行轰炸。当然德军也加强了水坝防御。施佩尔不计人力物力财力在几个星期同恢复鲁尔工业区的用水。 此次行动的无心插柳的战略成果：它没能打碎德国的工业铁拳，却击中了德国的农业软下腹。鲁尔河谷和埃德尔水库所在的黑森北部地区一度是德国最重要的食品供应基地之一，在空袭之后，大量耕地被洪水带来的淤泥所覆盖，牛和马等大牲畜被洪水冲走溺毙。此外，大坝被炸毁的图片对德国人的士气造成了严重的打击。
- 我到处找也找不到，爸爸 - I've lost it, Daddy. I can't find it. - 我找到了 - I've got it.
- 给你，爸爸 - Here it is, Daddy. - 谢谢你 - Thank you.
注意喽，克里斯托弗 Watch it, Christopher.
4，3，2，1，发射！ Four, three, two, one, fire!
很好，非常好！标记一下，玛丽 Fine, that's good! Mark it, Mary.
好的，那么让我们... Right, well let's...
你好！老医生！对不起，你来这儿很长时间了吗？ Hello, old Doc! I'm sorry. Have you been here long?
不，我只是刚到这儿。这是在进行什么？ No, I've just come. What all this going on?
哦，这个...我只是试着搞明白一些小事儿 Oh, it's... just a little thing I'm trying to find out.
给，你能替我拿着吗？刚刚落在浴缸的中心。 Here, can you just hold that for me? Just over the centre of the tub.
好了吗？ Got it?
好的，我们在笔记本上记下这一次数据 Right, we'll make a note of this one.
13.3英尺。现在可以了，非常感谢 13 foot 3. That's all right now. Thank you very much.
- 你好，医生 - Hello, Doc. - 你好，亲爱的 - Hello, darling.
你是来给伊莉莎白看病的吗？我希望不是扁桃体发炎 Are you going to look at Elizabeth? I hope it isn't tonsils.
她看起来很好。你的母亲在哪？ She looks all right. Where's your mother?
- 在屋里 - In the house. - 我们可以进去吗 - Let's go in, shall we?
我只待一会儿，坐下来喝杯茶 I'll be in in a minute. Stay for some tea.
非常感谢 Thanks very much.
现在听好。在天没黑下来这前，让我们再试几次 Well, now listen. Let's try to get one or two more shots before it's too dark.
谢谢 Thank you.
注意观察，玛丽 Watch out, Mary.
看好喽，克里斯托弗 Watch it, Christopher.
我认为没有什么可担心的 I don't think there's anything to worry about here. 体温一切正常 The temperature is all right.
春天很多人的喉咙会发炎 Quite a lot of these throats are running around this spring.
- 她明天早上就会没事了 - She'll be all right in the morning. - 很好 - Good.
现在，去上床吧，宝贝。我会晚点给你拿晚餐来 Now, along to bed, darling. I'll bring you up some supper later on.
哦，但我要去帮忙爸爸打弹弓 Oh, but I've got to help Daddy play marbles.
不，现在太晚了，亲爱的 No, it's too late now, dear.
- 晚安，医生 - Good night, Doctor. - 晚安，伊莉莎白 - Good night, Elizabeth.
一切正常，让我们再试一次 All right, let's try one more.
- 晚安 - Good night. - 晚安，宝贝 - Good night, darling.
3，2，1，发射！ Three, two, one, fire!
他又在外面玩那套老把戏 He seems to be having a fine old game out there.
这是怎么回事？ What's it all about?
他从早上到下午试着解决一些问题 Just some problem he's trying to solve before tomorrow afternoon.
他现在这样已经好几天了 He's been at it for days now.
今点五点还下着雨他就开始了 He was out there at 5 o'clock this morning in the rain.
医生，我叫您今天下午来不全是给伊莉莎白看病的 Doctor, when I called you this afternoon it wasn't really about Elizabeth.
- 是因为巴恩斯 - It was Barnes. - 你认为他不正常吗？ - You don't think he's well?
他现在好很啊，但他的精力不如以前了 He's all right at present, but he won't be for much longer.
如果他继续这样下去会吃不消的 He can't be if he goes on like this:
晚上工作越来越晚 2 and 3 and 4 o'clock night after night.
之后，他还要在维克斯公司辛苦工作一天 And after a hard day at his real job at Vickers.
他最近都很晚才睡觉 He hardly went to bed at all last night.
他在透支自己 He's wearing himself out.
我希望你能和他谈谈，我认为他能够听你的建议 I wish you'd have a talk with him, I think he might listen to you.
我尽力而为，但你了解他的脾气 I'll see what I can do, but you know how he is.
- 伊莉莎白怎么样？ - How is Elizabeth? - 哦，她很好 - Oh, she's all right.
- 你认为是扁桃体发炎吗？ - You don't think it's tonsils? - 不，不，没发炎 - No, no, no.
但我会持续观察她的情况，你不必担心 But I'll keep an eye on her, don't you worry.
茶已经凉了，巴恩斯。我都叫过你两次了 The tea is stone cold, Barnes. I called you twice.
哦，对不起。但你知道我得到了有很多非常有用的数据 Oh, I'm sorry. But you know I got a lot of very useful stuff here.
现在只有一个问题就是把它们记在纸上 It's only a question now of working it out on paper.
- 又要熬夜吗？ - Another late night? - 我不知道，看情况吧 - I don't know, it depends.
无论怎样，先把容易的这部分数据记下来 In any case, this part is easy compared with what's coming.
- 来杯茶吗，医生 - Have a cup of tea, Doc. - 好的，你如果要... - Well, if you're going to...
- 我去换壶新茶 - I'll make some fresh. - 没事的，我来吧 - Don't worry, I'll do it.
不用了，你坐下吧，把湿鞋脱了歇会儿 No, no, you sit down and take off those wet shoes.
- 最好把窗帘先拉上 - Better see to the blackout first. - 我来帮你一把 - I'll give you a hand.
等一下 Wait a minute.
老兄，来外面听听 Come out here and listen.
噢，听上去又是一次大轰炸 Hmm, sound like another big one.
他们（伦敦）肯定无法抵抗这样的轰炸 Surely they won't be able to stand up to many raids like these.
我们真应该帮他们一把，但我们无能为力 They wouldn't if we could really get at them, but we don't.
这就像试图开枪打死巨人只能伤到他的胳膊和腿 It's like trying to kill a giant by firing at his arms and legs
而不是一发精准的子弹穿过他的心脏 with thousands of peashooters instead of a clean bullet through the heart.
你知道他们（德国人）试图炸平伦敦 You know what happened when they tried to wipe out London.
你们的茶来了，巴恩斯。茶别凉了 Here's your tea, Barnes. Don't let this get cold.
就这来 I'm coming.
医生，你记得我提到的地震炸弹的想法吗？ Doc, do you remember about that earthquake bomb idea of mine?
是的，那会儿正赶上敦克尔克大撤退 Yes, that was the time of Dunkerque.
你跟我说过这个想法，但你也只有想法而已 You told me the idea, but not what you wanted it for.
到这儿来 Come over here.
你知道德国人需要多少水来炼一吨钢吗？ Do you know how much water it takes the Germans to make a ton of steel?
- 没计算过 - Haven't the least idea. - 需要一百吨水 - One hundred tons.
现在看看这个 Now just look at this.
在德国鲁尔这个极其庞大的军火制造工厂区的所有水源 The whole of this great arsenal of war factories in the Ruhr
都依赖于这三个巨型水坝： depends for its water on three enormous dams:
默内、埃德尔和佐尔佩 The Mohne, the Eder and the Sorpe.
他们控制运河的水位，提供大量的水力发电 They control the level of the canals and supply a lot of hydroelectric power.
这三个水坝全蓄满时，会有四百万吨的水 When those are full, they hold 400 million tons of water.
你想想，如果我们让这三个水坝决口会造成多大的混乱 Just think of the chaos if we could break those walls down.
这就是我现在要做的事 Now, this is what I wanted to do.
从40,000英尺投下一枚10吨炸弹 Drop a 10 ton bomb from 40 thousand feet
让它落水沉到水坝坝体的底部 that would seal itself in the roots of the wall.
爆炸后的冲击将对水坝坝体制造致使的伤害 The shockwaves would be tremendous, a real earthquake.
但你能击中一个8英里长的线状目标吗？ But could you hit a target that size from 8 miles up?
我估计炸弹要投到离水坝50英尺内才能有我说的效果 I reckon that a near miss, even 50 feet, would do the job.
另外有可以装载10吨炸弹的轰炸机吗？ Is there an airplane that will carry a 10 ton bomb?
- 不，但我会设计出来的 - No, but I was going to design one. - 怎么了？ - What happened?
直说了吧，已经成立了一个审查委员会，我们公司也参加了 Well, a committee was set up and we went into it
但我没有充分考虑到水的缓冲作用 but I hadn't made sufficient allowance for the cushioning effect of the water.
我们应该需要30吨的炸弹...太重了，目前的轰炸机装载不了 We should need a 30 ton bomb ...too heavy for any aircraft at present.
- 糖？ - Sugar? - 不，多谢 - No, thanks.
- 哦，来点吧 - Oh, carry on. - 好吧，就一点儿 - Well, just a little.
你知道吗？巴恩斯 Do you know, Barnes?
我还是不明白你为什么需要这样的炸弹 I still don't see why you need such a special bomb.
这座水坝坝体约120英尺厚：石砌结构 This dam is about 120 feet thick: Solid masonry all through.
我们验证过，比现在最大的炸弹大20倍的才行 We've proved that a bomb 20 times the size of the biggest bomb now
要不只是给它挠痒痒罢了 wouldn't even tickle it.
此外，我们还不能使用漂雷 Besides, we can't float anything down the lake
因为他们在水坝前面设置了两道老长老长的拦阻带 because they've got these two huge booms stretching right across it.
我们甚至不能从水下攻击 We can't even get it in under the water
因为爆炸物会被粗钢网挂住 because these booms support thick steel nets
这将阻止从上游来的潜艇，更别说是鱼雷。 which would stop a flotilla of submarines let alone torpedoes.
我明白了 I see.
你不能用炸弹破坏它，你不能用漂雷破坏它 You can't bomb it, you can't float a mine against it
你不能用鱼雷破坏它 and you can't torpedo it.
- 看起来不可能 - Looks impossible. - 是的，这三个水坝真安全，不是吗？ - Yes, it does, doesn't it?
前几天，我想到了一个新的很棒的主意 The other day I thought of a new, a wonderful idea.
- 你已经找到解决它的方法了吗？ - You've found a way to do it? - 我是这么认为的 - I think so.
审查委员会要将在明天的会议上审查我原始的想法 The committee that's enquiring into my original idea is meeting again tomorrow
我宁愿他们想把整个事情搞砸了 and I rather expect they'll want to wind the whole thing up.
好吧，如果他们这样做，我就完成它 Well, if they do, I'm done.
你为什么不提前将你新的想法准备好了 Why don't you go ahead with your new idea until you're ready
然后让他们成立一个新的审查委员会？ and then get them to form a new committee?
我亲爱的伙伴，你不是变戏法儿的能从帽子变出一审查个委员会 My dear fellow, you talk as if I could pull committees out of a hat.
它已经花了几个月...还不错，这几年白厅启动的项目就这一个 It took months...well, years almost to get Whitehall to start this one.
以某种方式我必须保持这个项目一直“活着”直到我准备好了 Somehow or other I must just keep it alive until I'm ready.
哦！对不起！你要回到你的诊所了 Oh, I'm sorry! You want to get back to your surgery.
好吧，我真的应该走了 Well, I ought to really.
- 巴恩斯？ - Barnes? - 嗯？ - Hmm?
- 你能答应我一件事吗？ - Will you promise me something? - 如果我可以... - If I can...
你为何不在复活节出去走走？你知道，你确实需要休息 Would you try to get away for Easter? You do need a rest, you know.
你认为我疯了吗？你知道吗，很多人都是这么认为的 You think I'm going crazy? A lot of people do, you know.
不，但你没白天没黑夜的工作，谁也吃不消的 No, but you can't go on day and night. Nobody can.
放心吧，医生 All right, Doc.
- 你好，派伊博士 - Hello, Dr Pye. - 你好，沃利斯 - Hello, Wallis.
- 你会为我做什么事吗？ - Would you do something for me? - 我会尽力 - I'll try.
你在那些大人物中很有影响力 You've got a lot of influence over those fellows in there.
你会试图阻止他们马上终止这个项目？ Will you try to stop them winding the thing up right away?
- 他们需要一个非常令人信服的理由 - They'd need a very convincing reason. - 我有一个新的想法 - I've got a new idea.
这个想法是与众不同的，只是...我需要时间 It's quite different only...l must have time.
- 你能向他们解释一下吗？ - Can you explain to them what it is? - 只是这一点，我不能 - That's just the point, I can't.
如果我现在尝试向他们说明，他们只会嘲笑我 If I were to try explain it to them now they'd only laugh at me.
- 新的想法很困难，难以预料事更多... - It's difficult without knowing more... - 是的，我看的出，但... - Yes, I do see that, but...
我们最好进去 We'd better go in.
当然，沃利斯先生必须意识到他给我们带来的错误观点 Surely Mr Wallis must realise the false position he's putting us into.
我们被指派审查一个确定的命题 We were appointed to examine a definite proposition.
我不认为我们被局限于任何确定的命题 I don't think we were confined to any definite proposition.
我们被任命为检查每个对这些水坝空中攻击方案的可能性 We were appointed to examine every possibility of air attack on these dams.
我知道，但沃利斯先生曾提出 I know, but Mr Wallis did put forward a
的理论，是无可救药的，是离谱的 theory that was hopelessly wide of the mark.
对此，他希望有时间去探索一种全新的理论 And on the strength of this, he wants time to explore a completely new theory
即使现在解释也太奇妙了 that's too fantastic even to explain.
我只要求一件简单的事：我要你们给我足够的时间 I'm only asking for one simple thing: I want you to give me sufficient time.
如果我们能够直接在坝体上引爆一颗炸弹 To discover how much explosive would be needed to breach these dams
就要发现要破坏这些水坝需要多少炸药 if we could explode a bomb directly against the wall.
你打算怎样让炸弹紧贴在坝体上？ How do you propose to get the bomb directly against the wall?
这就是我现在正在做的 That is what I'm working on now.
是的，但肯定你可以给我们一些想法 Yes, but surely you can give us some idea.
我认为我们不能强迫沃利斯先生那样做 I don't think that we can press Mr Wallis to do that.
如果我有一定程度上形成了理论，我当然就不用谈论它 If I had a partly formed theory, I certainly shouldn't want to talk about it
直到我把理论都搞清楚为止 until I'm sure that it is all clear.
的确如此 Quite so.
你需要多长时间进行这些新的实验？ How long would you need to carry out these new experiments?
如果格兰维尔让我再次使用在St Harmondsworth的模型坝的话 If Glanville will let me have the model dams at St Harmondsworth again
我会说...一周或十天 I would say... a week or ten days.
- 格兰维尔你的意见如何？ - How do you feel about that, Glanville? - 我们可以提供我们所能的帮忙 - We'll be of any help we can.
好吧，那么我想提出建议，我们正式休会两周 Right. Then I should like to propose that we formally adjourn for two weeks.
我是否可以认为审查委员会同意这个提议？ Can I take it that the committee agrees to this?
真精彩！ Splendid!
真高兴你们能来这儿。我想你们会发现这个试验很有趣 I'm so glad you could come down. I think you'll find this very interesting.
格兰维尔的人“鼓捣”了两项指标 Glanville's people have rigged up two charges.
首先是作为早期实验目标一个相当于10吨的炸弹 This first one is equivalent to a 10 ton bomb, 50 feet from the wall,
投到离坝体至少50英尺内 as in the earlier experiments.
第二个只有完成一半，但已经把炸弹紧贴在坝体上 This second one is only half that charge but fixed to the wall itself.
都是在相当于30英尺的深度 Both are at a depth equivalent to 30 feet.
- 我们一切准备就绪了吗？柯林斯 - Are we all ready, Collins? - 一切准备完毕，格兰维尔博士 - All ready, Dr Glanville.
- -你想找掩体吗？ - You want to take cover? - 不，我认为不需要 - No, I don't think so.
这不是第一次试验了 Not for the first one.
如果你们都站到那边... If you all stand back over there...
好吧，柯林斯，开始吧！ All right, Collins, go ahead!
这里，你们看到了吗？它甚至没有划伤？ There. You see? It isn't even scratched?
震动仪上只记录到轻微的震动，然后它就回复正常 A very slight shock is recorded and then it returns to normal.
这就是我之前疏忽的地方 This is where I was wrong before.
炸弹炸点和坝体之间的水缓冲力 The cushion of water between the explosion and the wall
几乎完全吸收了爆炸的冲击。让我们进行第二次测验？ absorbs the shock almost completely. Shall we have the second one?
- 当你准备好了就开始 - When you're ready. - 这次会把我们的脚弄湿的 - This should get our feet wet.
注意了 Watch it.
起爆 Fire.
- 我的天哪！这太棒了 - Good heavens! That's wonderful. - 好极了 - Wonderful.
这只是第一个指标完成了一半 And that is only half the charge of the first one.
你看差异之处了吗，当炸弹紧靠在坝体沉到正确的深度？ Do you see the difference when it's placed against the wall at the right depth?
水缓冲力反而有利于我们的炸弹爆炸后将冲击波传递在坝体上 The cushion of water acts in our favour sending shockwaves right through the wall.
如果我们用这个作为基础，格兰维尔和我计算过 If we use this as a basis, Glanville and I have calculated
我们的新炸弹只需要6,000磅炸药 we should one need 6,000 pounds of this new explosive, RD X,
就可以使默内水坝决口 to breach The Mohnsee dam itself.
我可以消减不必要的重量 I can cut the case weight down
最后完成的炸弹不会超过5吨重 and make a complete bomb of less than 5 tons.
我们也就不再需要特制的轰炸机了 We shouldn't need a specially constructed aircraft either.
新的四个引擎的兰开斯特轰炸机可以携带5吨轰炸鲁尔区 The new four engine Lancaster can carry a 5 ton bomb right through to the Ruhr.
- 如果你能造出炸弹... - If you can make the bomb... - 当然能造的出 - Naturally.
并让它准确地沉在正确的位置，紧靠在坝体上爆炸。 And get it to explode exactly in the right position, hard against the dam wall.
- 不用在意防鱼雷网吗？ - despite the protecting torpedo nets? - 当然，这才是精彩之处 - Of course, that's essential.
但现在你还没有告诉我们接下来怎么做 But you still don't tell us how.
好吧，如果你们满意你们所看到的 Well, if you're satisfied with what you've seen
我能有妥善的试验设施，我认为我能做到 and I can have the proper facilities I think I can do it.
- 你想要什么设施？ - What facilities do you want? - 测试用的水池，要非常大的那种 - A testing tank, a really big one.
最大的水池，我所知道是在特丁顿的用于测试舰船适航性实验中心 The biggest I know is the experimental ship tank at Teddington,
- 国家物理实验室的水池 - the National Physical Laboratory's. - 可以借用其中之一吗 - Could I use one of those?
- 我会尽我们所能申请的 - I'll see what we can do. - 嗯-哼 - Uh-huh.
- 好吧，再见 - Well, goodbye. - 再见 - Goodbye.
- 再见 - Goodbye.
请继续试验。我认为你能成功的 And keep at it. I think you've got something.
3，2，1... Three, two, one...
发射！ fire!
1.10秒，1.36秒 1 10, 1 36.
谢谢 Thank you.
不是很理相，跳得太短了。试着调到2.6英尺 That's no good, it's too short. Try 2 foot 6.
好吧先生们，你要求我们让尼恩斯.沃利斯使用我们的测试水池 Well gentlemen, when you asked us to let Barnes Wallis use this tank of ours
我没想到他五个月后还在这里 I didn't expect him to be still here after five months.
我不认为我们做要么 I don't think we did either.
我们等着用这个池水做紧急实验 We have urgent experiments waiting for this tank.
知道他为什么用这么长时间吗？它已经耽误正事了 Any idea how long he's going to be? It's making things very difficult.
他正在探索某种全新的方案，你着急也没用。 He's exploring something entirely new, you can't hurry this kind of research.
我知道，如果我让他去别处... I know and if I thought he was getting anywhere...
但他似乎并不愿意这样。无论如何，他也没有告诉我为任何事情 But he doesn't seem to be doing so. At any rate, he doesn't tell me anything.
他花了大量的时间就是让高尔夫球打水漂 He spends hours and hours shooting golf balls up and down.
然后调整来调整去，最后他打破了一扇窗户 And every now and then, he breaks a window.
你瞧，你可以在乡下找个安静的养鸭子的池塘 Look, couldn't you find him some quiet duck pond in the country
在那里他可以随意打水漂，而不让人讨厌？ where he could shoot things up and down without being a nuisance to other people?
我们最好跟他说说，他现在在吗？ We'd better have a word with him. Is he there now?
他总是在那里。最今晚上都没回家了 He's always there. Didn't go home at all last night.
- 那是为什么 - Why was that? - 我不知道，我想他忘了 - I don't know, I think he forgot.
他大概每周只吃一顿午餐吧 He only has lunch about once a week.
行啦，准备！再来一次 All right. Stand by! Once again.
3，2，1... Three, two, one...
发射！ fire!
很好，我用摄像机拍下了 It's OK, I got that all right.
1.50秒，2.03秒 1 5 0 2 0 3.
太棒了！我们再试试看。 Splendid! We'll try that again.
哦，你好，你好 Oh, hello. Hello.
你们不能选个更好的时间来吗 You couldn't have come at a better time.
这些事情发生是多么的不同寻常 It's extraordinary how these things happen.
一个接着一个的感觉，就像一个人永远困在死胡同里 One goes on and on feels as if one's up against a brick wall forever
然后突然，就像一个灵光闪烁，一切都到位 and then suddenly, it's as if a light flashes on and everything slips into place.
而现在... And now...
如果你们到这儿来... If you come along here...
我在用摄像机记录，但我认为请到中间去观看 I've got a camera recording but I think that up by the middle
你会看到一切都很完美 you'll see everything perfectly.
好吧，呃，你们就站在哪里吧 All right. Er, just about where you are.
你准备好了吗 Are you all ready?
再来一次 Once again.
行了 Right.
3，2，1... Three, two, one...
发射！ fire!
1.40秒 1 4 0...
我们已经测试了几个月，找到一个规律 We've been trying for months to find a rule
我们可以确定每次反弹的高度 by which we can fix the height of each bounce.
如果炸弹被释放太早，它不会到达坝体 If the bomb is released too soon, it won't reach the dam,
如果炸弹释放太晚，它会越过水坝 if it's released too late, it'll bounce over it
爆炸直接炸死飞机下面每个人 and explode directly under the aircraft killing everyone.
但现在，我们已经搞定了！如果你们能够在这里等等，我这样再试一次。 But now, we've got it! If you just wait here a moment and I'll do that again.
行了 Right.
3，2，1... Three, two, one..
发射！ Fire!
你们看到了吗？这可不是侥幸成功，它很管用 You see? It wasn't a fluke, it works.
好吧，这似乎是决定性的 Well, that seems to be conclusive.
试验出奇的好，你们要有点耐心 It's extraordinarily good of you to have been so patient.
不客气，很高兴我们能提供帮助 Not at all, glad we could help.
你有时一定以为我做的事情是绝对荒唐 There were times when you must have thought I was absolutely cockeyed.
- 我亲爱的朋友，这是最后一件事... - My dear fellow, that's the last thing... - 如果你这样做我不怪你 - I shouldn't blame you if you did.
灵感和痴迷之间就是这种非常薄的分界线 There's such a very thin dividing line between inspiration and obsession
有时很难知道我们在哪一边 that sometimes is very hard to know which side we're on.
- 你还需要水池做试验吗？ - Will you need the tank anymore? - 如果我能继续使用它 - If I could have it
直到这个周末，检验我的计算，并完成报告 until the end of the week to check my calculations and complete the report.
那太好了。你要周六离开？ That's perfectly all right. You'll leave on Saturday?
哦，是的，绝对。 Oh, yes, definitely.
今天你已经看到试验了, 你会提交一份令人满意的报告 After what you've seen today, you'll put in a satisfactory report.
当然，我想这应该能说服审查委员会 Certainly. I think this ought to convince the committee.
太好了！ Splendid!
在那之后，就是飞机制造部门的事了 After that, it's a matter for the Ministry of Aircraft Production.
正常情况下，我们应该继续提供你每个试验设施 Under normal conditions, we should go right ahead and give you every facility.
但在目前恐怕，完全不可能 But I'm afraid at the present moment, it's quite impossible.
这为什么，不是提交报告了吗？ But why, after that report?
你知道有些事是挺难办的，沃利斯先生 You know how difficult things are, Mr Wallis.
航运损失：上个月就损失100万吨 The shipping losses: half a million tons last month alone,
大部分运输的是重要的战争原料 most of it vital war material.
除了保证最高优先级的部门，我们没有得到一盎司的原料 We haven't got an ounce to spare for anything except the highest priority.
有一点可以肯定，我只是想要几个我设计的炸弹一半大小的模型 Bit surely, I only want to make a few half size dummy prototypes of my bomb.
像这样的一种新武器将需要高度熟练的工人 A new weapon like this would need highly skilled labour,
专用机床，和额外的工厂场地 special machine tools, factory space.
我们的工厂都在开足马力生产 Our factories are stretched to the last inch of their capacity.
而且你知道熟练工人很短缺 And you know the acute shortage of skilled labour.
但你的新武器占用了所有的时间 But you're making new weapons all the time.
我们总是试图改进武器的已知价值 We're always trying to improve upon weapons of known value.
它是另一回事，当我们得到革命性想法 It's a different matter when we come to revolutionary ideas,
我可能会说这太幻想的，就像这样 I might almost say fantastic ones, like this.
你千万不要认为我们缺乏想象力或冷淡 You mustn't think we're unimaginative or lukewarm.
我们都看到了项目的可能性，我们也希望继续下去 We all see the possibilities and we'd like to go ahead.
但目前情况，我恐怕这是不可能的。可能在明年继续 But at present, I'm afraid it's out of the question. Possibly next year.
看在上帝的份上，我们可以走的比我们现在更远 For goodness sake, let's go as far as we can now
即使它不会超出原型一半大小 even if it doesn't go beyond these half size prototypes.
你几乎可以在一家自行车店制造 You could practically make those in a bicycle shop.
即使我们做了几个假炸弹 Even if we made a few dummy bombs,
你说你需要惠灵顿轰炸机为测试 you say you need a Wellington bomber for test drops.
他们价值同等于他们重量的金子 They're worth their weight in gold.
你真的认为当局会借给你一架吗？ Do you really think the authorities would lend you one?
就为了论证一个可能的理论就让我派一架惠灵顿轰炸机给你？ What possible argument could I put forward to get you Wellington?
好吧，如果你告诉他们我设计了它，你觉得这个可能有帮助吗？ Well, if you tell them that I designed it, do you think that might help?
看起来海面有点小风浪 Looks a bit choppy down there.
海面情况还算理想，就当扔的是一个炸弹，马特 Smooth or choppy, it's all the same with this bomb, Mutt.
- 准备好了吗？ - Ready? - 好了 - Yes.
速度多少？马特 How is the speed, Mutt?
设置在180 Set at 180.
我们的高度是否正常？ Are we all right for height?
我们的高度正常。跟你打赌半克朗，这东西无论如何都行不通 We're all right. Bet you half a crown it doesn't work anyhow.
快看！ Look!
没问题，它在打水漂 It's all right, it works!
哦！ Oh!
好了，我的设想取得了成功 Well, I imagine with the success of the trials,
他们会让我继续用真实的家伙试验的 they'll let me go right ahead with the real thing.
就个人而言，我想看到你的试验一直下去 Personally, I'd like to see you go straight ahead,
但情况是今天比上个月更困难 but the position is more difficult today than it was last month.
那么怎么样？ How so?
我们甚至不能产生足够的现有各型的炸弹 We can't even produce enough of existing types of bombs,
更不用说开始制造 much less begin to work on something
一种完全新的炸弹 completely new and completely unpredictable.
当然他们必须意识到如果我们摧毁了这些大坝，让洪水淹没鲁尔谷地 Surely they must realise if we can burst those dams and flood the Ruhr valley
这样可以节省向这些工厂投掷的数以千计的炸弹 they can save the thousands of bombs that they're dropping on the factories.
我只能把你这个项目转交有决定权的部门了，沃利斯先生 I can only pass on to you the decision of the Ministry, Mr Wallis.
如果你能得到有个人影响力的人的支持，这样可能有帮助 It might help if you could get the support of somebody with personal influence.
你建议谁？ Whom do you suggest?
为什么不去找找爱德华.休斯爵士？ Why not go and see Sir Edward Hughes?
我见过他两次了 I've seen him twice.
- 或者乔治.伯内特爵士？ - Or Sir George Burnett? - 我见过他三次了 - I've seen him three times.
那么还有曼塞尔勋爵 Well then of course there's Lord Mansell.
昨天我坐在他办公室外面一早上 I sat outside his office all yesterday morning.
他是太忙了 He was too busy.
哦...好吧，为什么不找杰弗里.海恩斯爵士？ Oh... Well, why not see Sir Geoffrey Haines?
我坐在他办公室外面一下午 I sat outside his office all the afternoon.
我看看 I see.
好吧，在这种情况下，目前我认为你已经尽你所能 Well, in that case for the present I think you've done everything you possibly can.
你看见萨默斯先生吗？ Have you seen Mr Summers?
我想你会发现他在测试的厂棚 I think you'll find him in the testing shed.
好的 Right.
- 你那儿情况如何？ - How did you get on? - 山穷水尽啦 - It's hopeless.
- 怎么了？ - What happened? - 没什么 - Nothing.
我在白厅跑上跑下，办公室又进又出 I walked up and down Whitehall, in and out of offices,
楼梯又上又下，傻坐在房间外面，我... up and down stairs, sat outside rooms, I...
我觉得像一个小贩试图出售发条玩具 I felt like a pedlar trying to sell clockwork toys.
我希望我能做点什么 I wish there was something I could do.
- 有呀，马特 - There is, Mutt. - 什么 - What?
让我们将整个项目情况直接向轰炸机指挥部反应 Let's take the whole thing straight to Bomber Command.
- 哈里斯？ - Harris? - 是的，你真的了解他 - Yes. You really know him.
如果他看试验影片会感兴趣，那时，他只需要说句许就行了 If he sees the films and gets interested, well, it'll only need one word from him.
为什么不呢？ Why not?
还有一点障碍 There's a bit of a snag there.
你知道，他被应接不暇神奇发明淹没... You see, he gets so inundated with fantastic inventions...
真是荒谬！他正在使用的一切不都是被发明出来嘛 That's ridiculous! Everything he's using had to be invented.
你瞧，如果你告诉他这个项目是很有战略价值的，他会听你的，不是吗？ Look, if you tell him that it's worthwhile he'll listen to you, won't he?
我会尽我所能，但如果他把我们都扔出窗外，可别怪我 I'll do what I can, but don't blame me if he throws us both out of the window.
请你们进来吧 Will you come in, please?
萨默斯先生和巴恩斯.沃利斯先生到了，长官 Mr Summers and Mr Barnes Wallis, sir.
- 你好，马特，沃利斯 - Hello, Mutt. Wallis. - 早上好 - Good morning.
你来干什么? What is it you want?
我有一个可以摧毁鲁尔工业区的所有水坝的方案 I've got an idea for destroying the Ruhr dams.
这对德国的影响将是巨大的 The effect on Germany would be enormous.
这我都知道，我读过报告 I know all that, I read the report.
但是你真的认为用你的那个新型炸弹可以摧毁一座水坝? But you really think you can knock down a dam with that thing?
是的 Yes.
这个方案在纸面上看起来足够聪明，但这太像巫师出的主意了 It looks clever enough on paper, but that goes for all these wizzy ideas.
你试着让炸弹平稳的沉到坝体的底部 You try to make them work, they fall down flat.
- 这不是问题 - This one doesn't. - 你怎么知道的？ - How do you know?
我们已经进行了验证，证明了这一点 We've tested it and proved it.
我这里有一些影片，我想放给你看 I've got some films here I'd like you to see.
如果你已经证明方案的可行，为什么它没有被采纳？ If you've proved the thing, why hasn't it been taken up?
我不知道。但影片全长只有5分钟 I don't know. But the films only take five minutes to run.
你可以看影片，您自己做决定 You could see them and decide for yourself.
那么... Well...
好吧 all right.
出房间交给放映员 Send the projectionists out of the room.
如果这个方案如你夸的一样好，那就应该让所有人都知道 If this thing is as good as you say, there's no point in letting everybody know.
桑比可以放影片 Thornby can run the film.
- 是你吗，巴恩斯？ - Is that you, Barnes? - 你好 - Hello.
雨下得很大，如果下雪的话我就不会感到奇怪了. It's raining a bit, I shouldn't be surprised if it turns to snow.
是的，天气很冷不是吗？你是会谈怎么啊？ Yes, it is cold, isn't it? How did you get on?
与哈里斯吗？哦，他很好 With Harris? Oh, he was all right.
他是个什么样的人？他是很凶吗？ What's he like? Is he very fierce?
哦，不。他一边听我解释一边观看影片 Oh, no. He listened to what I had to say and saw the films.
- 他感兴趣吗？ - Was he interested? - 是的，我想是这样 - Yes, I think so.
现在没什么好担心的了，该说的说了，该讲的讲了 It doesn't make any difference now anyway because the whole thing is over.
淘汰项目和终结项目 Washed out and done with.
这不可能的。发生了什么？ That's impossible. What happened?
他们送我回到韦布里奇时，告诉我在白厅有决定权的人 When I got back to Weybridge, they sent for me and told that the people in Whitehall
认为我惹人讨厌惹人烦 had decided that I was making a nuisance of myself
浪费了所有人的时间，包括我自己时间的，还有整个项目完了 wasting everybody's time, including my own and that the whole thing was dropped.
你打算怎么办？ What did you do?
那个，我唯一能做的就是：我辞职 Well, the only thing I could do: I resigned.
- 辞职？从维克斯公司 - Resigned? From Vickers? - 嗯-哼 - Mm-hm.
当然，这并不影响你的其他工作 Surely this doesn't affect your other work.
亲爱的，当你相信的事我也相信 Sweetheart, when you believe in a thing as much as I have believed in this
你除了眼前的这个项目现在也没有别的事可干 there really isn't any other work until you have seen it through.
你有什么打算吗？ What will you do?
哦，我还没想过呢 Oh, I haven't thought about that yet.
这是新的体验， It's a new experience to find myself unemployed.
你要做的第一件事就是好好休息 The first thing you'll do is to have a rest.
我们会换个地方住 We'll get away somewhere.
不，我不认为如此。不会有什么意思的农舍 No, I don't think so. It wouldn't be much fun in a farm house in winter
或在一些沉闷的战时酒店 or in some dreary wartime hotel.
在这里也是有很多事可做 There's plenty to do here too.
我必须修修工具房的门，看看能不能让它完好如初 I must see about the tool-house door, see if I can get it to work properly.
我多年来一直想修理这个破门 I've meaning to repair the chicken run for years.
在那之后，我可以到附近转转找个工作谋生 After that, I can look around for someway of earning a living.
我想我能在什么地方教学工作 I suppose I can get a job teaching somewhere.
哦，在你进来之前刚好有一位秘书打电话 Oh, a secretary rang up just before you got in.
飞机生产部的人想要在早上见到你 The Ministry of Aircraft Production want to see you in the morning.
飞机生产部和所有其他的人我见够了 I've had enough of the Ministry of Aircraft Production and all the rest of them.
- 但他们说这很重要 - But they said it was important. - 是的，他们都这么说 - Yes, it is to them.
他们会享受给我一个讲述自己业务领域的讲座 They'd enjoy giving me a lecture on minding my own business.
就个人而言，我宁愿挖园子 Personally, I'd prefer to dig the garden.
如果不下雪，我想我会种点儿豆子 If it doesn't snow, I think I'll put in a few broad beans.
- 是不是有点太早？ - Isn't it a bit too early? - 不知道，它们非常顽强 - I don't know. They're very hardy.
有一年十一月我种了一些 One year I planted a row in November
他们到了圣诞节就长来几英寸 and they come up a couple of inches by Christmas.
我认为你应该去，巴恩斯 I think you ought to go, Barnes.
可能你是对的 Perhaps you're right.
如果我告诉他们我对所有人的看法 It would be a good thing if I told them exactly
那倒是件好事 what I think of the whole bunch of them.
沃利斯先生到了，长官 Mr Wallis, sir.
哦，你好，沃利斯。昨天的时候我正在到处找你 Oh, hello, Wallis. I was trying all over the place to get hold of you yesterday.
你不必麻烦 You needn't have troubled.
你什么意思，我不必麻烦吗？ What do you mean, I needn't have troubled?
维克斯公司的人告诉我这个消息 They told me the news at Vickers.
如果你需要正式告诉我，嗯... If you've got to tell me officially, well...
我想你有话你就说吧 I suppose you've got to have your say.
然后我会说我的 Then I'll have mine.
但他们对此还一无所知 But they know nothing about it yet.
消息本来是要到下午才会传达 The news only came through in the afternoon.
实际上我想和你是第一个知道 And actually I wanted you to be the first to know.
- 他们告诉你什么？ - What did they told you? - 整个项目已经停止 - That the whole thing was off.
完了，终结了 Done with, finished.
我不知道谁说的，反正不是我们说的 I don't know who said that, it didn't come from us.
我现在正式通知你 What I'm telling you now is official.
命令刚刚从唐宁街下达，项目继续进行 Orders have just come through from Downing Street that it's to go ahead right away.
首相对这个项目是很热衷的 The Prime Minister is enthusiastic about it.
现在时间是重要因素 The time is the vital element now.
水坝必须在5月初蓄水水位达到最高时受到攻击 The dams must be attacked early in May when the water level is at its highest.
之后蓄水水位便开始下降 After that the level begins to drop.
当然，这个我知道。我在我的报告中明确了这一点儿 Naturally, I know that. I made it clear in my report.
只留下整整两个月来的训练轰炸机中队和准备炸弹 It only leaves a bare two months to train a squadron and prepare the bombs.
在这段时间，你能完成你的工作吗？ Can you do your part in that time?
嗯...我会尽力而为 Well...I'll do my best.
情况就是这样。我期待你会想要回到您的团队 That's how it is. I expect you all want to get back to your groups.
我要求从今晚就要尽全力，看看我们能否在埃森水坝上真凿个窟窿出来 I want a maximum effort tonight. See if we can get a real knock at Essen.
就这样了 Right.
科克伦，先别走，等一下 Cochrane, don't go for a minute.
你认为沃利斯的主意能摧毁鲁尔区的水坝吗？ What do you think of Wallis' idea of bursting the Ruhr dams?
这听起来有点牵强，但我个人认为这是可以做到 It sounds a bit far-fetched, but personally I think it can be done.
我希望你是对的 I hope you're right.
无论如何，我已经给了我支持，我已经准备好命令了 Anyway, I've given it my support and I've had orders to get ready.
- 我要你带上它 - I want you to take it on. - 好的，长官，我想我会办到 - Right, sir, I'd like to.
这将意味着从前线调出一个轰炸机中队进行专门训练 It'll mean taking a squadron out of the line for special training.
不，我们必须为此组建一支特别轰炸机中队 No, we must form a special squadron for this
人员需要目前完成30次出击任务的经验丰富的机组 and man it with experienced crews who've just finished their present 30 trips.
那些有才华的年轻人不介意的话也可以加入 Some of those keen youngsters won't mind doing an extra one.
你心里有指挥轰炸机中队的人选吗？ Have you anyone in mind to command the squadron?
有，吉布森 Yes. Gibson.
关闭所有开关 Rad shutters auto.
- 刹车已松 - Brakes off. - 刹车已松 - Brakes off.
黑小子，过来，小子! 过来！ Nigger, come on, boy! Come on!
来啊，黑小子！ Come on, Nigger!
来啊，老伙计 Come on, old fellow.
你不必为我等很长时间 You won't have to wait for me for a long time.
你不用等的！到康沃尔郡度个假 No, you won't! Going on holiday, down to Cornwall.
去抓兔子。去抓兔子。小子！ Rabbits. Rabbits, boy!
快点，机长，你要错过班车了 Come on, Skipper, you'll miss the bus.
好的，来啊，黑小子 OK! Come on, Nigger.
快来，好小子 Come on, boy!
在跑马场有一场表演叫“让我们面对面！”。 There's a show called "Let's Face it!" at the Hippodrome.
- 科尔.波特的音乐剧 - That's the Cole Porter musical. - 你看过吗？ - You've seen it?
是的，我看过它的最后一幕，但我还会去看的 Yeah, I saw it last fall. But I'll see it again.
剧院上演杰克.赫波特的“如火如荼” "Full Swing" at the Palace with Jack Halbert.
如今你能连着看这几场表演或者你有要看书吗？ Can you walk straight in on these shows nowadays or do you have to book?
你不能在美国人参战这个档口 You can't get into the stalls because of the Americans.
大多数的夜晚你可以在任何地方 Most nights you can get in somewhere.
我们四个人去伦敦，机长 There's four of us for London, Skipper.
在我们分手之前我们可以在明天3:15看一场表演 We can get the 3:15 tomorrow and see a show before we split up.
好吧，你可以算我一个 All right, you can count me in.
我们可以在2：30叫几辆出租车 We'll have a couple of taxis here at 2:30.
抱歉，长官。这儿有从轰炸机大队发给你的信息 Excuse me, sir. There's a message for you from Group.
空军司令想要你明天11点报道 The A.O.C. would like to see you at 11 o'clock tomorrow.
哦...好吧 Oh...right.
你等在这儿，老小子。待着别动 You wait there, old boy. Stay there.
中校吉布森到了，长官 Wing Commander Gibson, sir.
- 上午好，吉布森 - Good morning, Gibson. - 上午好，长官 - Good morning, sir.
祝贺你出色的完成轰炸任务 Congratulations on the bar to your DSO.
谢谢你，长官 Thank you, sir.
- 你昨晚完成了你的第三个轮职期？ - You finished your third tour last night? - 是的，长官 - Yes, sir.
你会准备好去接受一个新的任命吗？ Would you be prepared to take on one more trip?
是个什么样的任命，长官？ What kind of trip, sir?
目前还不能告诉你太多情况 I can't tell you much about it for the present
但你将指挥一只特别轰炸机中队 But it'll be a special one and you'll command the operation.
我恐怕它意味着你要推迟休假了 I'm afraid it would mean putting off your leave.
你是如何看待交给你的任命？ How do you feel about it?
- 没问题，长官 - All right, sir. - 很好 - Good.
这个特别轰炸机中队需要精心训练 It's going to need careful training
以便不辜负空军总司令的期望 and the Commander-in-Chief wants a special squadron formed.
任务完成的好也对你有利的 It will be best if you form it yourself.
我通知所有轰炸机中队让他们调离他们最有经验的机组 I'm telling all the squadrons they'll have to give up their most experienced crews.
他们对此很反感 They're not going to like it.
- 惠特沃思上校到了吗 - Is Group Captain Whitworth there? - 他刚到，长官 - He's just arrived, sir.
- 叫他进来 - Ask him to come in. - 好的，长官 - Very good, sir.
什么样的任务需要训练，长官？是什么类型的目标？ What kind of training is it to be, sir? What sort of target?
我还不能告诉你目标是什么 I can't tell you the target yet.
但它需要你们进行低空飞行 But it will be low-flying.
你必须能够在夜间低飞行直到它成为你们的第二本能 You've got to be able to low-fly at night until it's second nature.
- 你好，惠特沃思 - Hello, Whitworth. - 上午好，长官 - Good morning, sir.
- 你们相互认识 - You know each other? - 哦，是的，我们是老朋友了 - Oh, yes. We're old friends.
- 你好，吉布森 - Hello, Gibson. - 你好，长官 - Hello, sir.
你的轰炸机中队布置在斯坎普顿惠特沃思的主基地 You'll be forming this squadron at Whitworth's main base at Scampton.
对不起我不能跟你讲的太多 I'm sorry I can't tell you any more,
但你的当前工作就是筛选你的机组并安排他们飞行训练 but the immediate job is to get your crews and get them flying.
这还有一件事：你要注意保密 There's one other thing: You'll have to watch security.
就其他人而言，这只是一个普通的新轰炸机中队 As far as others are concerned, this is just an ordinary new squadron.
非常好，长官 Very good, sir.
现在跟着惠特沃思上校，他会帮你落实这些事情 Now go off with Group Captain Whitworth and he'll help you to get things going.
你会在这里的找到每个人的主要资料 ，长官 You'll find pretty well everyone that matters in here, sir.
- 一部分在公告版上，还有的在名册里 - On this board or here, in these albums. - 很好，谢谢 - Right, thank you.
现在嘛...哦，谢 Now then... Oh, thanks.
如果我是你，我就选这几个澳大利亚人：莱斯.奈特和米奇.马丁 I'd go for these Australians if I were you: Les Knight and Mickey Martin.
马丁低空飞行的技术非常出色 Martin knows all there is to know about low-flying.
是的，我遇到他时他获得一个飞行优异十字勋章 Yes, I met him when he was collecting a DFC.
我知道这个新西兰人，莱斯.芒罗，我想要他 I know this New Zealander, Les Munro, I'd like to have him.
- 还有乔. 麦卡锡 ，他很棒 - And Joe McCarthy, he's great. - 哦，美国人。一头灿烂的金发 - Oh, the American. The Glorious Blonde.
他曾经是科尼岛海滩警卫队 He used to be a Coney Island beach guard.
我们不能忘记英国人 We mustn't forget the English.
在这，比尔.阿斯特尔 Here is Bill Astell.
哦是的，还有大卫.莫尔特比 Oh yes, and David Maltby.
哦，他刚开始另一个轮职期 No, he's just started another tour.
赫比.霍普古德来自我原来的轰炸机中队 And Hoppy Hopgood from my old squadron.
我也想从这里要大卫.香农和波比 I'd like to have Dave Shannon and Burpee from there too.
如果我们开始把这些家伙调来的话 We shan't be popular with the other squadron commanders
我们铁定不会被其他轰炸机中队的指挥官喜欢了 if we start squeezing chaps like these from them.
这有两个我想作为飞行指挥官： There are two I'd like as flight commanders:
亨利.莫兹利和丁吉.杨 Henry Maudslay and Dinghy Young.
- 你认识他们吗？ - Do you know them? - 我知道杨 - I know Young well.
我通知他到牛津大学空军中队飞行的 I told him to fly in the Oxford University Air Squadron.
他是一个划船老手。亨利.莫兹利也是一个不错的运动员 He was a rowing blue. Henry Maudslay's a darn good athlete too.
我想他是个中长跑运动员。你也不可能找到比他俩更好的人 He's a miler, I think. You couldn't have picked two better chaps.
- 你自己的机组情况呢？ - What about your own crew? - 他们今天下午外出休假 - They're off on leave this afternoon.
他们有过一次艰难的旅游，现在一定厌倦了我的盯着他们 They've had a hard tour and must be sick of the sight of me by now.
我会独自一人留下来 I'll leave them alone.
来吧，黑小子 Come on, Nigger.
赶快，机长，你要错过火车了 Hurry up, Skipper, you'll miss the train.
你们几个去吧，我去了不了了 You fellows go ahead, I shan't be coming.
- 怎么了？发生什么事了？ - Why? What happened? - 没什么事 - Nothing much.
- 他们给了我另一个任命 - They've given me another job. - 参谋工作？ - A staff job?
- 不，组建一个新的轰炸机中队 - No, forming a new squadron. - 什么？你不是要休假吗？ - What? Not before your leave?
是啊.... Yeah...
你能告诉小伙子们，特雷弗? You tell the boys, will you Trevor?
你要是赶上3：15的火车的话，你们这些家伙要就赶快 You chaps will have to hurry if you're going to get the 3:15.
你不必费心了，克罗斯比 You needn't bother about that, Crosby.
- 我不休假了 - I'm not going. - 不休假，长官 - Not going, sir?
不走了，但你不需要每件东西再取出来了，因为我们调到斯坎普顿了 No, but you needn't unpack everything again because we're moving to Scampton.
- 你去吃你的晚餐吧 - You go and get your dinner. - 那好吧，长官 - Very good, sir.
这是什么鬼情况？我告诉你，我不休假了 What are messing about for? I told you, I'm not going.
机长，关于新的轰炸机中队...你要和它一出动吗？ Skipper, this new squadron...Are you going to fly with it?
- 当然了，我要和它一起出动了。 - Of course I'm going to fly with it. - 好吧，你需要新的机组对不对？ - Well, you'll need a crew, won't you?
当然，但我将分到一个机组 Of course, but I'll get one all right.
哦，你的意思是你受够我们了，你想要摆脱的我们 Ooh, you mean you've had enough of us. You want to get rid of us.
我可没说过 I didn't say that.
好吧，我们刚刚开了个小会儿 Well, we've just had a committee meeting.
达成一个普遍的看法，跟你飞的很多新手， There's a general opinion that it's not going to be safe
可不知道你是多么疯狂，这可是要出事的 to let you fly about with a lot of new people who don't know how crazy you are.
一个普遍的看法，你需要我们照顾你 It's the general opinion that you'll need us to look after you.
好吧...如果这是你们想要的，好吧 Well...if that's what you want to do, all right.
我认为你们才是疯狂的 I think you're the crazy ones. The whole bunch of you.
请再多来两杯啤酒 Two more beers, please.
这里有十一个得了飞行优异十字勋章和三个校级军官 There's eleven DFCs already and three bars.
你可以用你的靴子打赌，这一定是有大事 You can bet your boots it's something big.
他们说这个特别轰炸机中队是为了绑架希特勒 They say it's a special squadron to kidnap Hitler.
- 知道在桌旁那个黑大个儿是谁吗？ - Who's that big dark fellow by the table? - 他就是杨，吉布森的副指挥官 - That's Young, Gibson's second in command.
丁吉.杨，他们都这么叫他，因为他总是在海上降落 Dinghy Young, they call him, because he always comes down in the sea.
划着他的橡皮船回家 And paddles home in his rubber boat.
喂，那是吉布森，他已经完成了173架次飞行了 Oi! Here's Gibson. He's done 1 7 3 sorties already.
呆在这儿，黑小子，别乱动，老家伙 Stay there, Nigger. Stay there, boy.
我想我认为你们中的大部分人 You know most of the chaps, I think.
没事的，请继续 All right, carry on, please.
- 你好，长官 - Hello, sir. - 你好，丁吉 - Hello, Dinghy.
- 麦卡锡，长官 - McCarthy, sir. - 哦是的，当然，很高兴你和我们在一起 - Oh yes, of course. Glad you're with us.
你好，兹利。你们两个家伙是被调来当我的飞行指挥官。 Hello, Maudslay. You two chaps are going to be my flight commanders.
- 这一切是怎么回事，长官？ - What's it all about, sir? - 或早或晚你会知道的 - You'll find out, sooner or later.
- 你见过米奇.马丁吗？ - You've met Mickey Martin, haven't you? - 是的，当然，你好，米奇 - Yes, of course. Hello, Mickey.
你的任务很重啊 I wanted you for this.
你是低空飞行专家，你要指导我们都会低空飞行的 You're the low-flying expert. You'll be able to tell us all about it.
低空飞行？包我身上 Low-flying? Fine.
- 你好，长官 - Hello, sir. - 你好，豪比。你好，香农 - Hello, Hoppy. Hello, Shannon.
我发现黑小子在外面，我能喂它一杯啤酒吗？ I found Nigger outside. Can I stand him a beer?
不要给他超过一品脱啤酒 Don't give him more than a pint.
好的 Right.
不要喝得太快，要么你会打嗝的 Don't drink it too quickly or you'll get hiccups.
怎么样，长官...我们什么时候开始低空飞行训练？ Well, sir...when are we going to get something to fly in?
他们明天会把第一批兰开斯特轰炸机送来 They're sending the first batch of Lancs tomorrow.
他们答应我先拨给我们十架用于训练 That makes the ten they promised us to get started with.
明天就用它们飞行训练和测试 Have them flown and tested tomorrow.
我们可以从今天下午开始，将所有机组编组 We can begin this afternoon dividing the crews into flights.
第一项训练任务就是 The first job will be to fly over every big
飞越英国和威尔士的每一个大湖，拍下它们 lake in England and Wales and photograph them.
- 所有的湖？ - Lakes? - 所有的湖 - Lakes.
- 所有机组已到简报室，长官 - The crews are in the briefing room, sir. - 很好，我这就来 - All right, I'll come.
好了，你们坐下吧 Right, you can sit down.
嗯...我们第一次全体集合在一起开会 Well...here we are all together for the first time.
你们会很好奇，我们为什么组建新的中队 You're wondering what it's all about
我不能告诉你们，因为我自己也知道的不多 and I can't tell you because I don't know myself.
但我所我知道的这一定是为完成大任务 But I do know it's a big thing.
如果这个大任务完成，它的结果 And if it comes off, it will have results
就将有可能缩短这场战争 that may do quite a bit to shorten this war.
纪律将是必不可少的 Discipline is going to be essential.
所以保密是第一位的 So is security.
对于像你们这样的一群老鸟来说，组建一个新的中队是不寻常的 It's unusual for a crowd like you to be formed into a new squadron
所有你们会被拉着谈论 so you're going to be talked about.
谣言已经满天飞 Rumours are flying about already
但你们要管好你的大嘴巴！ but you have got to keep your mouths shut!
这儿所有的一切取决于保密 All here will depend on secrecy.
我们如果能严守秘密，那么我们就可以把敌人推向地狱 If we can surprise them, then we'll play hell with them.
但如果敌人准备好了对付我们的话 But if they're ready for us,
那么就是敌人把我们推向地狱了 then the hell is going to come from the other side.
现在我是这么理解这项任务，不管任务是什么 Now I understand that the job, whatever it is,
必须熟悉低空飞行 has got to be done at low level.
所以，首先的任务就是训练低空飞行 So the first thing is to practise low-flying
白天和黑夜直到我们闭上眼睛也能做到 day and night until we can do it with our eyes shut.
请进 Come in.
- 你好，马特 - Hello, Mutt. - 这位是空军中校盖伊.吉布森 - This is Wing Commander Guy Gibson.
哦，早上好，我很高兴你的到来 Oh, good morning. I'm glad you've come.
- 我叫巴恩斯.沃利斯 - My name is Barnes Wallis. - 早上好，先生 - Morning, sir.
好吧，我先有事你们聊。再会 Well, I'll leave you to it. See you later.
- 好的，谢谢 - Right. Thanks. - 太感谢了，马特 - Thanks a lot, Mutt.
你可以把背包放下吗？把它交给我吧 Would you like to put those things down? Give me that.
谢谢 Thank you.
我不抽烟，但有时会准备一些香烟在这儿... I don't smoke but there's sometimes have a cigarette in here...
- 来一支吧 - Yes, there we are. - 谢谢 - Thank you.
那个，我认为目前的情况你还都不太了解 Well, I don't suppose you know very much about all this at present.
我还什么都不知道 I don't know anything about anything yet.
- 但你知道任务目标 - But you know the target. - 不，一点信息都没有 - No, not the faintest idea.
我亲爱的小兄弟...好吧，我以为他们会告诉你的 My dear boy... Well, I thought they would have told you.
这非常尴尬。 This makes it very awkward.
这不是我在这里的原因，要你告诉我吗？ Isn't that what I'm here for, to be told by you?
哦不行，不能说任务目标，那是高度机密的 Oh no, not the target. That's dreadfully secret.
我恐怕不能告诉名字不在这份名单上的人 I'm afraid I can't tell anybody whose name isn't on this list.
不过，我会告诉你，因为我敢说 Still, I'll tell you as much as I dare.
你看，在敌人的领土上有一些非常大的建筑物 Well you see, there are certain objects in the enemy territory
它对这场战争起到决定性的作用 that are very big and quite vital to this war effort.
他们是如此之大，普通炸弹不能破坏它们 They're so big that ordinary bombs won't hurt them.
但我发明了一种特种形状的炸弹 But I've got an idea for a special type of bomb
它只能飞到极低的情况下投出 only it would have to be dropped at very low level.
哦，他们告诉我们要低空飞行 Oh, they've told us about low-flying.
哦，他们说了？哦，那就简单了 Oh, they have? Oh, well that's something.
好吧，我不知道如果你有科学思想的... Well, I don't know if you're scientifically minded...
在任何情况下，你或你的组员都不需要 In any case, it wouldn't be necessary for you or any of your crews
去了解武器的理论和数据 to understand the theory and mathematics of the weapon.
如果我可以的话，我想了解这种新型炸弹 I'd like to try and understand it if I can.
你想了解？哦，太棒了 You would? Oh, splendid.
我待会儿会在纸上给你解释一下的 I'll explain it all to you later on paper.
但首先，我想让你看一些影片 But first of all, I'd like you to see some films.
你能离开这儿，只是到旁边的房间里吗？ You can leave your things here, it's only in the next room.
准备一下？ Ready?
好了，请这走 Right, this way.
- 呃，你准备好了吗？ - Er, are you ready? - 好了，先生 - Yes, sir.
拿上两把椅子 Bring up a couple of chairs.
好了 Right.
现在这是在靠近威茅斯的切瑟尔海滩进行的首次投弹试验 Now these are the first dropping tests at Chesil Beach, near Weymouth.
这是在惠灵顿轰炸机上 Here comes the Wellington.
马特.萨默斯是驾驶员，我坐在副驾驶的位置上 Mutt Summers is the pilot and I'm working the release gear.
现在马上你就可以看到这种炸弹了 Now in a moment, you'll see the bomb.
现在它出现了...现在注意看 There it goes...Now watch.
现在我们切换到了特丁顿的一个大型的测试水池 Now we switch to one of the big testing tanks at Teddington.
这些影像是早期试验的场景，我尝试用微缩模型 These pictures were taken much earlier, when I was experimenting with miniatures
来显示炸弹沉入水下的情况 but they show what the bomb does underwater.
它在水上跳起来了 There it goes.
现在，这就是模拟一个全尺寸的新型炸弹使用过程 Now that's exactly how a full size bomb would behave.
在30英尺水下，水压引爆器会自动启动引爆炸弹 At 30 feet down, an hydrostatic pistol would automatically explode the charge.
你现在可以知道低空飞行是多么的重要了吧 Well, you can see now why this low-flying is so important.
每架轰炸机只能装载一枚炸弹 Each aircraft will only be able to carry one bomb
必须在高度为150英尺，速度在240英里的情况下投出它 and it must be dropped from exactly 150 feet at a speed of 240 miles an hour.
高于或低于该高度和速度，它就不能正常工作的 Above or below that height and speed and it just doesn't work.
你找把椅子吧 Take a chair, won't you?
对不起，我们关系如此紧密，但这都是关于重力和数学的问题 I'm sorry, we're tied so closely, but it's all a question of gravity and mathematics.
恐怕我要问你非常多问题 I'm afraid I'm asking a great deal of you.
你认为你能按这个极限要求飞行吗？ Do you think you can fly it to those limits?
嗯，这个很难说的 Well, it's hard to say off hand.
高度表在那个高度就不太准了 The altimeter does no good at that level
但上级拨给了我一些空军最好的轰炸机飞行员 but they've given me some of the best pilots in the Air Force.
所以我们会尽我们所能 So we'll see what we can do.
你还在试验全尺寸的炸弹吗？ Have you tested the full size bomb yet?
不，它现在正在组装。我希望它能在一周或十天内完成 No, it's being assembled now. I hope to try it in a week or ten days.
你的意思是说一个五吨重的炸弹 Do you really mean that a five ton bomb
能像乒乓球一样在水面上弹起来吗？ can bounce along the water like a ping-pong ball?
这很难让一些人信服 It's been hard to persuade some people that it will
但我有理由相信它会表现得完全跟微缩模型测试的一样 but I've every reason to believe it will behave exactly like those miniatures.
我们需要离目标多远投下这种炸弹？ How far from the target do we drop the bomb?
啊，准确的说，我恐怕有三个起决定性的因素 Ah, that's the third factor that I'm afraid requires absolute accuracy.
我还有一点儿试验要做，但我相信离目标600码 I've got a little more work to do on it but I think it'll be 600 yards.
你自己发明了这个炸弹的吗？ Did you invent this thing out of your own head?
嗯...是的...我想我可以说是我发明的 Well...yes...I think I may say I invented it.
嗯，我认为这是很了不起的 Well I think it's terrific.
我一度这样想，但我开始认为 I thought so at one time, but I'm beginning to
发明设计它的工作 think that the job of inventing it was small
比投出它的工作要简单 compared with the job of dropping it.
我们会全力以赴的 Well, we'll do our best.
现在我知道的太多了 I'm talking right in the dark at present.
要是我知道目标是什么就好了... If only I knew what the target was...
可以...嗯，我跟你说过，因为我敢说 Yes... Well, I've told you as much as I dare.
我希望他们在你回去时告诉你其余的目标 I hope they'll tell you the rest when you get back.
好吧，吉布森，目标就是它 Well, Gibson, there it is.
你们的主要目标：默内水坝（拱坝） That's your main target: The Mohe dam.
原来如此。我就当它是提尔皮茨战列舰 So that's it. I thought it was going to be the Tirpitz.
如果你能炸开水坝坝体， If you can blow a hole in this wall, you'll
你会把鲁尔工业区的钢铁产业陷入停滞 bring the Ruhr steel industry to a standstill
以及很多其他的损害 and do much other damage besides.
我给你展示了你们的轰炸目标 I'm showing you the targets
但你是轰炸机中队唯一知道目标的人，所以...请保持神秘感 but you'll be the only man in the squadron who knows, so... keep it that way.
很好，长官 Very good, sir.
这两个模型是另外两个水坝：埃德尔和佐尔佩 These are the models of the two other dams: The Eder and the Sorpe.
- 但默内水坝是最主要目标 - But the Mohne is the most important. - 我知道了，长官 - I see, sir.
你最好研究研究这些目标 Come along and study these as often as you like.
我们正在定期侦察，看看德国人在水坝上做了什么 We're having regular reconnaissance to see what they're doing over there
并且观察水坝蓄水水位的高度 and watch the height of the water.
必须在水坝蓄满的情况下进行轰炸 The operation must be carried out when the lakes are full.
水位何时才能到达轰炸要求，长官？ When is that likely to be, sir?
大约在四月中旬。我们需要一个理想的月夜 About the middle of May. We'll need a good moon as well,
所以看起来我们只能选择在12日和第17日之间的一夜晚 so it looks as though we're tied to a night between the 12th and 17th.
等到下一个满月来临的时候 By the time the next full moon comes around the
水坝的水位会再次下降 water level will have started to fall again
所以这是我们唯一的机会，从现在算大约在五个星期以后 so that's our only chance this year, about five weeks from now.
训练进行得怎么样了？ How's the training going?
哦，非常刻苦，长官。除了低空飞行训练 Oh, pretty well, sir. Except for the low-flying.
- 我猜你遇到麻烦了 - I guessed you'd be in trouble over that. - 白天还算是容易 - It's fairly easy by day,
但在夜晚在150英尺低飞几乎不可能 but night-flying over water at 150 feet is pretty near impossible.
- 你们不相信你们的高度表吗？ - You can't trust your altimeter? - 高度表显示的不是沃利斯先生想要的高度 - Not at the limits that Mr Wallis wants.
他规定死了，必须在大约150英尺高度飞行 He was very emphatic about flying at 150 feet exactly.
但在寂静的夜晚，光滑的水面 I'd hoped we could get over it by practice
有一种无人之境的恐怖感觉 but on still nights, when the water is smooth,
我希望我们可以通过实践来克服它 there's a sort of a no man's land between the dusk and the water.
我找了法恩伯勒皇家飞机研究所的专家，我希望他们会有个好办法 I've got the Farnborough experts on that. I hope they'll come along with an idea.
明天，沃利斯将在雷古弗试验全尺寸炸弹 Wallis is going to test the full size bomb at Reculver tomorrow.
我希望你去观看 I'd like you to go down and watch
- 带上你们的领航机的投弹手 - Take your bombing leader with you. - 好的，长官 - Right, sir.
请出示你们的通行证 Can I see your passes, please?
谢谢 Thank you.
- 你好，吉布森 - Hello, Gibson. - 你好，先生 - Hello, sir.
鲍勃.黑，我的领航机投弹手 This is Bob Hay, my bombing leader.
很抱歉这么早把你拖到这儿来。我们不得不赶在高潮试验 I'm sorry to drag you here so early. We had to catch the high tide.
就在这里试验 It goes right out here,
所以当海水退潮时，我们可以涉水找到炸弹 so when it's low we can wade in and find the bombs
看看它们如何经受住冲击的影响 and see how they stand up to the shock of impact.
- 你已经开始试验了吗？ - Have you started yet? - 是的，我们已经投了两次了 - Yes, we've dropped two already.
情况如何？ How did they go?
嗯，不太理想，炸弹外壳会碎裂。我们又试验了一次 Erm, not too well, I'm afraid the casing broke. We're testing another.
好吧，他们现在就要到了 Well, they're due now, any minute.
轰炸机来了 Here it comes.
外壳又碎了 It's broken again.
我很抱歉把你带到这里来看笑话 I'm sorry to bring you all the way here to see that.
不必担心，我会把它改好的 There's no need to worry, I'll get it right.
很抱歉，各位。我得加固炸弹的外壳 I'm sorry, gentlemen. I shall have to strengthen the casing.
- 我马上开始工作 - I'll begin work at once. - 那么，要花多长时间？ - Well, how long will it take?
几天就行，退潮时，我们下海 A few days. When the tide's out, we'll
收集碎片，看看发生了什么事 collect the fragments and see what happened.
我一直说它行不通 I said all along it wouldn't work.
恐怕你一定认为我是个骗子 I'm afraid you must think me rather a fraud.
一点儿也不，先生 Not at all, sir.
但你知道，当你尝试新事物的时候 But you know, things nearly always happen like that first
- 当你尝试新事物的时候 - when you're trying something new. - 是的，我对你有信心 - Yes, I'm sure they do.
你的夜间低空飞行怎么样了？ How are you getting on with the low-flying?
高度很难控制准确 It's awfully hard to get accuracy,
我的意思是，误差在几英尺内，尤其是晚上在水面上飞 I mean, to within a few feet especially at night over water.
- 我们会找出解决它的办法 - Still we'll find some way of doing it. - 是的，是的，夜间低空飞行太困难了 - Yes, yes, it must be very difficult.
炸弹瞄准也是一个头痛问题，先生 Bomb aiming is another headache, sir.
普通投弹瞄准器在如此低的水平无法瞄准 The ordinary bombsight isn't accurate enough at such a low level.
而你想让轰炸机把那个炸弹扔在同一个地方，一个接一个 And you want the aircraft to drop that bomb dead at the same spot, one after the other.
是的，是的，就差几英尺 Yes, yes, within a few feet.
我们解决我们头痛的问题，你处理你的外壳的问题 We'll look after our own headaches and leave you to look after yours.
我恐怕目前这是我们所能做的了 I'm afraid that's all we can do at present.
哦，我应该在几天之内把炸弹外壳弄好 Oh, I should get it right within a few days.
- 你必须下次再试验过来 - You must try and come down again. - 我会来的，先生 - I'd like to, sir.
- 祝好运 - Good luck. - 也祝你好运 - Good luck to you.
- 还有你的那些小伙子们 - And to those boys of yours. - 多谢 - Thanks.
潮水要退了，我得趟水进去，收集一些碎片 The tide is going out, I must wade in and collect some of the pieces.
- 我们能帮忙吗 - Can we help? - 哦，不，不，我来处理 - Oh, no, no. I'm used to it.
我需要用我的脚趾在泥里探探 I just feel about in the mud with my toes.
有时我可以找到一小片炸弹外壳有时会是贝壳 Sometimes I get a bit of bomb, sometimes it's cockles.
我们怎么才能在晚上保持150英尺的低飞呢？ How are we going to fly at a level of 150 feet in the dark? 我想知道这怎么搞 That's what I want to know.
也许如果我们把一个导航员吊在一根150英尺的电线上 Maybe if we left a navigator down on the end of a 150 foot wire:
当他喊叫时，我们就知道我们太低了！ When he calls out, we'll know we're too low!
投弹瞄准器无法瞄准，无法在150英尺低空突袭 No bombsight that works at low level, a bomb that falls to bits,
并投弹，不惜一切代价必须在五周内解决 no way of flying at 150 feet and the raid, at all costs, in five weeks.
否则，除非出现奇迹 Otherwise, everything's marvelous.
我们要去伦敦，让我们吃顿不错的晚餐 We've got to go through London so let's have a darn good dinner
来一瓶酒，一个音乐剧和很多耀眼的女孩 a bottle of wine, a musical with lots of dazzling girls and...
然后晚上坐火车回去 and the night train back.
“Sing, soldier as you march along
“Sing, sailor sing a shanty song
“Let the sound float around everywhere
“Soon the pilots will pick up the air
“Zum-tarara!
“Sing, worker make a cheerful sound...
她真漂亮不是吗？ She's nice, isn't she?
“Let it ring, have your fling
“Life's a bird in the spring
“And sing, everybody sing
“Sing, soldier as you should march along
“Sing, sailor sing a shanty song
“Let the sound float around everywhere
“Soon the pilots will pick up the air
“Zum-tarara!
“Sing, worker make a cheerful sound
“Sweet music makes the wheels go round
“Let it ring, have your fling...
- 你不认为她很漂亮吗？ - Don't you think she's nice? - 什么？ - What?
- 漂亮的宝贝 - A nice kid. - 是啊，确实如此 - Yes, quite.
拉高一点儿...再高一点儿 Up a bit...A bit more.
现在稳住。又高了又高了 Now hold it. Much too much.
下降...下降 Down...down...
现在稳住。可以了 Hold it now. Fine.
先生们，喝一杯庆祝一下 Sir, have a drink to celebrate.
- 我们已经解决了 - We've done the trick. - 解决什么？ - What trick?
保持150英尺夜间低空飞行，不需要高度表，什么也不需要 Flying at 150 feet. No need for altimeters, no need for anything else.
- 这是怎么办到的？ - How's that? - 很简单：一对探照灯 - It's simple: a couple of spotlamps.
一个安在机鼻，另一个安在机腹 One in the nose, the other in the belly,
观察轰炸机下方两个光圈并拢聚在一起时，就是150英尺 trained to shine down and meet together at 150 feet below the aircraft.
通过驾驶舱观察 Watch through the cockpit blister
保持两个光圈在地面或水面上并拢 and keep the two spots plumb together on the ground or the water
那么你的高度就是150英尺，精确到一英寸 and there you are, at 150 feet, accurate to an inch.
是啊，但这就意味着要开着灯去攻击 Yeah, but that would mean carrying lights rights into the attack.
那总比炸不中目标强 That's better than finishing up on the drink.
太棒了！你是怎么想出来的？ That's wonderful! How did you think of it?
真是的天才设想！我们把方法交给了法恩伯勒皇家飞机研究所，他们解决余下的问题 Genius, pure genius! We gave the idea to Farnborough and they did the rest.
我们仍然需要在这么低的高度的投弹瞄准器 We still need a bombsight that works at low level.
我们什么时候才到领取真的炸弹？ When are we getting some real bombs?
真讨厌什么都不知道，真是烦人啊 It's annoying not knowing a damn thing about anything.
我知道...但那个老爷子星期五要进行新试验 I know...But the old boy has got new trials
你应该再去看看 on Friday, you ought to go down again.
他很肯定这次会成功 He's pretty sure it'll work this time.
哦，我的老天爷！ Oh my God!
- 这是一件糟糕的事，不是吗？ - It's a bad business, isn't it? - 是的，我恐怕也是这么认为 - Yes, I'm afraid it is.
你打算做什么？ What are you going to do?
我知道有麻烦，所以我必须再努力 I know the trouble, I must work in it again.
好吧，要抓紧时间，最早突袭时间是四月二十二日... Well, here we are, the 22nd of April...
最晚的期限是五月十九日 The deadline for the raid is the 19th of May.
- 仅仅四个星期 - That's barely four weeks. - 再多给我几天，最多一个星期 - Give me a few more days. A week, at most.
如果我们要更改炸弹的设计，那工厂将永远不会按时完成组装 If we're going to change the design the factories will never do it in time.
我不改变设计，我必须加强炸弹外壳 I shan't change the design, I must just strengthen the casing
尝试一种新的释放炸弹的方法 and try a new method of release.
好吧，从今天起一周时间 Well, a week from today.
如果那时新型炸弹试验还不成功，我们就只好取消轰炸任务了 If it doesn't work then, we shall have to call it off.
我们没有别的办法了 There's nothing else we can do.
你好啊 Hello, there.
你好，吉布森，我很好奇你怎么在这儿 Hello, Gibson. I was wondering if you were here.
我在下面观看试验 I was watching from down there.
你怎么不到我这儿观察试验呢？ Why didn't you come and watch it with me here?
我知道你的感觉，我猜你宁愿独自一人 I knew how you must be feeling, I guessed you'd rather be alone.
它真要命，不是吗？ It's a devil, isn't it?
是的，差不多吧 Yes, it is rather.
真是令人失望。我得全力以赴修改一下设计 It's most disappointing. I shall have to go all out on some modifications.
不知能否请你帮个忙 I wonder if I could ask you to do something.
当然，只要我能做到的 Of course, anything I can.
你看，这不仅是炸弹的结构是麻烦 Well you see, it isn't only the structure of the bomb that's the trouble,
我们必须减少下降的冲击力 it's in the dropping of it we muss lessen the force of the impact.
我问过你，如果原先你们可以离水面150英尺低空飞行并投弹的话 I asked you originally if you could fly in over water and drop the bomb at 150 feet.
我不知道你能不能飞到60英尺？ I wonder if you could do it at 60 feet?
- 那太低了... - That's very low... - 哦，是的。确实是太低了 - Oh, yes. I do realise that.
你们也是在玩命不能有太多过份的要求 You'd only have to hiccup to finish in the drink.
是的，我没有权利要求你做那样的事 Yes, I've got no right to ask you to do a thing like that
恐怕这是我们唯一的办法 but I'm afraid it will be our only way.
我们还是有一点运气的 We've had a bit of luck.
我们已经发明了安装探照灯来确定我们的高度 We've found a way of fixing our height with spotlamps.
我会让他们设置成60英尺，明天试一下 I'll have them altered for 60 feet and have a crack at it tomorrow.
你确定？那...那真是太棒了 You will? That's...that's splendid.
如果太过危险，你必须毫不犹豫地让我知道 If it's too dangerous, you mustn't hesitate to let me know.
哦，我们会成功的 Oh, we'll do it all right.
下降...下降... Down...down...
下降... Down...
稳定 Steady...
拉高一点儿 Up a bit.
再拉高一点儿 Up a bit more.
稳定 Steady.
稳定...稳定... Steady...steady...
现在稳住飞机。稳住，稳住 Hold it now. Hold it, hold it.
这真是太悬了！ This is bloodily dangerous!

我知道它来自哪里，我想我们最好把它寄回去 I know where it came from. I suppose we'd better send it back.
嗯，机不可失，马特 Well, it's now or never, Mutt.
别担心，一切都会好起来的 Don't you worry, it's going to be all right.

你好，吉布森 Hello, Gibson.
我们有一个可怕的一天，我从来没有想过我们会这样做 We've had an awful day I never thought we'd do it.

别提了，直到你望向那边并许愿试验成功 Don't say another word till you've looked over there and wished.
- 什么？ - What? - 新月 - New moon.
哦！ Oh!
- 你许愿了吗？ - Have you wished? - 哦是的！你呢？ - Oh, yes! And you?
当然。这是我们的新月，它会给我们带来运气 Yep. That's our moon. It's going to be a lucky one.
我也这样想的。哦，我希望如此 I hope so. Oh, I do hope so.
如果我们能在黑暗中60英尺低空飞行的话，那我们就可以在任何高度上飞行 Well, we're all right on altitude if we can fly at 60 feet in the dark.
亲爱的小兄弟，你能做到吗？那真是绝对精彩！ May dear boy, can you do that? That's absolutely splendid!
是的，我们这一个星期都在这么练 Yes, we've been at it all week.
- 他们来了 - Here they come. - 祝好运 - Good luck.
哦，我的老天爷啊！ Oh, my dear God!
- 那个，我必须说，真是太棒了 - Well, I must say, that was wonderful. - 我如释重负 - I'm immensely relieved.
- 你不抽根烟吗，沃利斯？ - Do you smoke, Wallis? - 不，多谢 - No, thanks.
我今晚就赶到工厂，给他们安排生产任务 I'll get through to the factories tonight and give them the green light.
给他们最后的生产指令？ Any final instructions for them?
不，他们可以用上周给的同一个设计规格继续在生产 No, they can go ahead on the same specifications they were given last week.
好吧，沃利斯先生，很奇妙的感觉，事情正往好的方向发展... Well, Mr Wallis, it must be a wonderful feeling to achieve a thing like this...
酝酿前所未闻的事，并把它成为现实 to conceive something absolutely unheard of and carry it through with flying colours.
你是怎么得来的灵感？ How on Earth did you ever get the idea?
那个...诚实的讲，这个主意不全是我的。我... Well... To be quite honest, it isn't really my idea at all. I...
我的灵感来自纳尔逊 I got it from Nelson.
你是说，纳尔逊？ Nelson, you say?
是的，他发现在一定的条件下 Yes, he discovered that under certain conditions
他可以使发射出去的炮弹威力更具破坏性 he could get more destructive results from his cannon balls
也就是通过炮弹的水漂运动给敌舰造成伤害 by making them ricochet off the sea before hitting the enemy ships.
通常来讲，他的大炮发射的炮弹三分之二的机率打中目标 Usually he pitched them about two thirds of the way between his guns and the target.
但有一些证据表明，在尼罗河战役中 But there is some evidence to suggest that during the Battle of the Nile
他用这个方法击退法军旗舰 he dismissed the French flagship with a yorker.
空军中校吉布森到了，长官 Wing Commander Gibson, sir.
- 晚上好，吉布森 - Good evening, Gibson. - 晚上好，长官 - Good evening, sir.
今天我一直在观察送来的侦察照片， I've been looking at the reconnaissance photographs that came in today. 看来，水坝的水位达到我们的要求，还需要一周的时间 It looks as if the water will be at the level we need in a week's time.
满月是在下一个星期二，所以我们非常接近最后突袭期限 The moon's full next Tuesday, so we're pretty close to deadline.
我们都熟练的低空飞行，但仍需要特殊的投资瞄准器 We're all right on low flying, but there's still the matter of the special bombsight.
是的，我已经让技术人员加班解决了 Yes, I've had the backroom boys busy on that.
你看到这个你可能会大笑。它看上去就像商场衣架 You're going to laugh when you see this. It looks like a coat hanger from a bazaar.
你认为像不像呢？你的投弹手的眼睛盯住这个小孔 Do you see the idea? Your bomb aimer keeps his eye to this peephole.

这样你与水坝坝体就有差不多600吗距离...然后你就可以投弹 then you'll be exactly 600 yards from the wall...and away goes your bomb.
你会不会觉得太过于玩笑了？ Do you think it's too simple?
不，长官，我支持东西越简单越好，但，我的天... No, sir. I'm all in favour of things being simple, but, Good Lord...
拿着它，用德温特水坝测试一下 There it is. Try it out on the towers at the Derwent Water dam.
投弹了 Bomb gone.
投弹了 Bomb gone!
很好，简便的投弹瞄准器加上探照灯控制高度 Well, the sixpenny bombsight works and the spotlamps work.
我们飞了2000小时，投了超过2000枚训练弹 We've flown 2,000 hours and dropped more than 2,000 practice bombs.
特别改装的轰炸机明天就要到达 The specially converted aircraft start arriving tomorrow.
所以从现在起到出动命令下达 So from now until the word go, practise
满载飞行以便你熟悉改装后的轰炸机 flying them at you're proper all-up weights.
吉丁，你负责这项工作 You can work that out, Dinghy.
不要忘记把一些装甲卸下 Don't forget that some of the armour's been taken out.
不能超过63000磅，否则我们起飞不了 And don't exceed 63,000lbs, otherwise we shan't get off.
- 还有问题吗？ - Any problems? - 机头的炮手要留在他的炮塔里吗？ - Does the front gunner stay in his turret?
是的，他将不得不应付高射炮 Yes, he'll have to deal with the flak guns.
麻烦的是，他的脚垂在投弹手的脸前面 The trouble is that his feet dangle in front of the bomb-aimer's face.
要不安装个脚蹬，让他脚蹬着 How about fixing up stirrups to get his feet
以便让他脚更舒服些如何？ out of the way and make him more comfortable?
- 这是个很好的方法 - That's a good plan. - 我们何时出击你有消息吗，长官？ - Have you any idea when we're going, sir?
可能在一个星期内，这个谁也说不准 Probably within a week, but keep it under your hats.
你不必再忍受被称为安逸的中队了 You won't have to put up with being called the armchair squadron much longer.
两个月没有轰炸行动，那它真成了一个老掉牙的笑话 Two months without an operation it's getting a stale joke now.
第五十七轰炸中队的一名小子又嘲讽我们，几乎发生了骚乱。 There was nearly a riot when a fellow from 57th Squadron started it again.
我们的小伙子们会比他们干得更好 Our fellows would feel better if they blew off steam.
好吧，下一次任何人又开始笑话我们，打回去 All right, the next time anyone start's being funny, have a riot.
好吧，就这些吧 All right, that's all.
- 你看到中队的命令了吗 - Have you seen the squadron orders? - 是的。老一套 - Yes. Same old stuff.
有一个晚上好好休息 It's good to have an evening off for once.
是啊，上个月16次轰炸行动，在五月的头两个星期就有7次 Yes, 16 ops last month, 7 in the first two weeks in May.
你们这些家伙为何能如次安逸的无事可干呢？ What are you fellows going to do when you've worn those armchairs out?
如你所知这只是个笑话，你们不受不了吗? It's a joke, you know. Can't you take it?
我们有点厌倦了。来吧伙计们 We're getting a little tired of it. Come on chaps.
请进 Come in.
轰炸大队司令部有位上尉要见您。他在外面等着呢 The Group Captain's asking for you, sir. He's waiting outside.
- 别乱动 - Steady! - 我们上！ - Let go!
- 谢谢你，长官 - Thank you, sir. - 救了我的命 - Saved my life.
- 你好，盖伊 - Hello, Guy. - 这是什么情况？ - What's going on?
第57轰炸中队的一个小子又没管住自己的大嘴巴 One of the boys from 57th Squadron shot his mouth off once too often.
我是来传达来自轰炸大队的消息，目标天气很理想 I've just had word from Group. Weather reports are good.
如果天气还像这样理想的话，你们明天晚上就会出击 If it holds like this, you'll do the job tomorrow night.
太好了。炸弹呢？ Good. What about the bombs?
他们刚运到 They're arriving now.
我很高兴我们可以出击了 I'm glad we're going.
告诉你的飞行指挥官没有害处，但你要保密 There's no harm telling your flight commanders, but keep it to yourselves.
好的 Right.
我会结束这里的表演，让小子们去上床睡觉 I'll break up that show in there and get the boys to bed.
很好 Fine.

- 长官，您请坐这儿吧 - Would you sit there, sir, please? - 好的 - Yes.
都请坐下吧，先生们 Be seated gentlemen, please.
在过去的六个星期你们很好奇 For the past six weeks you've been wondering
组建这个轰炸机中队为什么... why this squadron has been formed...
吉布森中校，你继续吧 Commander Gibson, carry on.
好的，训练结束了 Well, the training's over.
因为显而易见的原因 For obvious reasons,
你们不得不刻苦训练，但你们不知道目标，甚至你们使用的武器 you've had to work without knowing your target or even your weapon.
你们不得不忍受旁人认为你们抽了个上上签 You've had to put up with a good deal from other people
有大把的清闲时间 who think you've been having a soft time.
但今晚，你们将有机会 But tonight, you're going to have the chance
狠狠打击敌人，而且比以前轰炸效果 to hit the enemy harder and more destructively
更具破坏性 than any small force has ever done before.
你们将轰炸德国西部几座最大的水坝 You're going to attack the great dams of Western Germany.
这就是你们的目标 Here are your targets.
默内水坝 Here's the Mohne dam.
埃德尔水坝 That's the Eder.
还有佐尔佩水坝 And there's the Sorpe.
都是鲁尔区东部的大型水坝 All just east of the Ruhr.
现在，我们将组成三个轰炸编队 Now, we shall attack in 3 formations.
第一轰炸编队的首要目标是默内水坝，第二个目标是艾德尔水坝 The first will take the Mohne dam as its first target, then carry on to the Eder.
九架轰炸机分三波次，每波次间隔十分钟起飞 That will be nine aircraft in three waves, taking off ten minutes between each wave.
我带领霍普古德和马丁为第一波次 I'll lead the first with Hopgood and Martin.
杨带领莫尔特比和香农 Young leads the second

第二轰炸编队有五架轰炸机组成 The second formation will consist of five aircraft.
乔.麦卡锡，拜尔斯，巴洛，瑞斯和芒罗 Joe McCarthy, Byers, Barlow, Rice and Munro.
他们沿着北部航线飞行，轰炸佐尔佩水坝 They'll go by this northern route to attack the Sorpe,
这样可以分散敌方战斗机的防御力量 and also act as a diversion to split up enemy fighters.
第三轰炸编队将作为一个移动后备队，来填补空缺 The third formation will follow as a mobile reserve to fill in gaps.
由五架轰炸机组成 That will be five aircraft.
汤森德，安德森，布朗，奥特利和伯比 Townsend, Anderson, Brown,Ottley and Burpee.
今晚是满月，跟平常的出击一样 There's a full moon tonight, so normal ops are out.
我们将是今晚唯一的飞行部队 We'll be the only people flying.
为避开战斗机，我们不得不保持 And to avoid the fighters, we'll have to keep
低空突袭的方式出击和撤回 at zero feet all the way there and back.
有问题吗？ Any questions?
- 长官，我可以说一下航线吗？ - Can I say something about the route, sir? - 可以，说吧 - Yes, go ahead.
我注意到您计划的航线离在Hohs的一家合成橡胶厂很近 I see you've taken it very near a synthetic rubber factory at Hohs.
此处布置了大量的高射炮 There's a great deal of flak around there.
这里是个危险地区。我们大约在三个月前在这里吃过亏 It's a hot spot. We nearly got the chop there about three months ago.
我能否建议我们再往北飞一点儿？ Can I suggest we go a little further north?
是的，我们在设计航线时知道这里的情况 Yes, we knew about that when we planned the route.
麻烦的是，如果我们的航线太往北的话 The trouble is, if we go much further north,
我们将进入另一个危险地区 we run into another hot spot round here.
无论如何，我们是擦着边通过 Anyway, we can take it up a little.
现在，差距不是太大，所以让你的领航员多注意 Now, the gap isn't too wide, so watch it, you navigators.
长官，水坝的 防御力量如何？ What about the defences on the dam, sir?
经过侦查，他们布置了轻型高射炮，你等下可以看到这些侦查照片 Reconnaissance show's them as being fairly light, you'll see the photos in a minute.
拦阻气球呢，长官？ Any balloons, sir?
直到昨天，最近的设置在1英里外一家小区厂周围 Up till yesterday, the nearest ones were around a small factory 1 2 miles away.
我们不能有过多的期望 We don't expect any.
对不起，老家伙。这是秘密会议，你可不能进入哟 Sorry old boy. It's secret, you can't go in.
走吧，别处转转 Come on, hop it.
你好，黑小子，老家伙，你在干什么？ Hello, Nigger, old boy. What are you doing?
你在找谁？他不在办公室 Who are you looking for, eh? He's not in his office.
你要么去别处找找。跑吧，跑起来，跑吧！ You'd better try somewhere else. Go on, away you go. Go on!
你好，黑小子。他不在这儿，老家伙。走吧 Hello, Nigger. No, not in here, old boy. Go on.
你好，黑小子，老家伙。你在这儿转来转去的干什么呢？ Hello, Nigger, old boy. What are you doing around here?
黑小子！ Nigger!
好吧，这就是这种炸弹的运作流程，剩下的就靠你们了 Well, there it is. That's what the bomb does, the rest is for you.
此外我还要说...祝你们所有人好运气 And may I say...good luck to you all.
默内水坝的蓄水湖看起来像一个大的双齿 The Mohne lake looks rather like a big double tooth.
从水坝开始蓄水湖湖岸弯弯曲曲 These strips of water are the roots with the dam here in the crown.
这里的Korbecke桥是我们的集合点 Here's the Korbecke bridge where we assemble.
这块突出之地是我们的进入投弹航线的转弯点 And here's the spit of land which gives us a head on approach for the attack.
熟悉一下这些模型 Study these models.
要把每个细节记在你的脑子里，做到烂熟于胸 Get every detail into your heads until you know them with your eyes shut.
