英国海军

When US President Franklin Roosevelt embargoed American oil, iron ore and scrap metal to Japan to force the Japanese out of China, the Imperial Navy had no choice but to launch a campaign to conquer the only major alternative sources of oil, the Dutch East Indies and British Malaya, or rust at its moorings.

当美国总统富兰克林-罗斯福，对日本进行石油，铁矿石和废金属禁运，以迫使日本退出中国时，日本帝国海军不得不发起战争，去征服唯一的替代石油的主要来源地，荷属东印度和英国的马来亚，否则，日本舰队只能在系泊地坐以待毙。

In recent times, it has become customary to invite units from France's close allies into the parade; for instance, in 2004 during the centenary of the Entente Cordiale, British troops (the band of the Royal Marines, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, Grenadier Guards and King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery) led the Bastille Day parade in Paris for the first time, with the Red Arrows (the Royal Air Force's aerobatic display team) flying overhead.

最近，邀请法国的亲密盟国派部参加阅兵成为了一种惯例；如，在2004年纪念《友好协议》签署百周年的庆典上，英国部队(皇家海军陆战队乐队、近卫骑兵团、掷弹兵卫队以及皇家骑兵炮队中的禁卫军部队)就首次走在了巴黎"巴士底日"阅兵队伍的前列，其中"红箭"(皇家空军特技飞行表演队)还贯空而过。

In 1805, a British fleet commanded by Admiral Horatio Nelson defeated a French-Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar; Nelson, however, was killed.

In the early part of the war the British lacked top-rate naval fighters, using either clumsy aircraft like the Fairey Fulmar, or modified land-based fighters like the Sea Hurricane and Supermarine Seafire.

The centenarian, who grew up in an orphanage and first married when he was 14, joined the Grenadier Guards and served in World War II before switching to the Navy.

百岁老人在孤儿院里长大，14岁时第一次结了婚。他参加过英国精锐部队的近卫步兵，并参与了第二次世界大战，之后又转到了海军。

I also love the name Ernie Prang -"prang" is old RAF slang for "crash", extended to road traffic, and is associated with a rather insouciant attitude to crashes, as in "pranged the Jag last week - what a bore!".

我也爱极了"厄恩·普兰"这个名字－－"普兰"，prang，是过去英国皇家海军的俚语，"撞机"的意思，也延伸到陆地交通，就是"撞车"。这个词也带着对撞车并不太关心、甚至可说是漫不经心的态度，比如要说"上星期撞毁了架战斗机－－真烦！"。
