The D-DAY LANDINGS
The LANDINGS
“D” refers to the day of the operation which actually begins dependent on final approval.
D-day: The term D-Day is used for the day on which an attack or operation is to be launched.
D是Day的首字母,在军事活动中,D日经常用作表示一次作战或行动发起的那天。
迄今为止,最著名的D日是1944年6月6日-诺曼底战役打响之日 - 即同盟国反攻在第二次世界大战中被纳粹德国占领的欧洲大陆的开始。
D-DAY
The
D-Day landings意思是行动日登陆,标题用的是时间而不是诺曼底这个地点。

Understanding ideas
1 By spring 1944, the Second World War had been raging across the globe for about five years. But along the south coast of England, something unusual was happening; Allied troops (made up mainly of British, Canadian and American soldiers) were gathering in large numbers.
1944年春天,第二次世界大战的战火已经席卷全球大约五年之久。但是在英格兰的南部海岸正发生着不寻常的事情:由英国、加拿大和美国士兵组成的盟军正在大量聚集。
1 This marked one of the final stages of a top-secret operation (that had been months, perhaps years, in the planning). Code- named “Operation Overlord", it was the largest combined sea, air and land operation in history, the aim being to free north west Europe from German occupation. After waiting for the perfect combination (of weather, moon and tides), the date for the start of Operation Overlord was set for 6 June.
这标志着一场计划了数月,甚至可能是数年的绝密行动终于进入了最后阶段。这次作战行动的代号为“霸王行动”,它是历史上规模最大的海、陆、空三方力量集结的行动,目的是解放德国占领的欧洲西北部地区。在确保天气、月亮和潮水三者达到最佳结合点后,“霸王行动”最终定在了6月6日。
