Series Host: Hello.

系列主持人:您好。

I'm David McCullough.

我是大卫·麦卡洛。

Welcome to the American Experience.

欢迎来到美国体验。

The United States of America is a nation born of war, a bloody eight-year struggle for independence.

美利坚合众国是一个诞生于战争、八年血腥独立斗争的国家。

Our first larger-than-life hero and first president was a soldier.

我们的第一位传奇英雄和第一任总统是一名士兵。

And a long line of soldier-heroes followed — Andrew Jackson, Grant, Lee, Pershing — until the onrush of the Second World War.

随后出现了一长串士兵英雄——安德鲁·杰克逊、格兰特、李、潘兴——直到第二次世界大战爆发。

Then, miraculously, from a tiny professional army that the country had pretty much forgotten, came an array of general officers as remarkable as any in our history — Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Stillwell, Bradley, and the most conspicuous and, some felt, the most brilliant of them all, General Douglas MacArthur.

然后,奇迹般地,从一支几乎被这个国家遗忘的小型职业军队中,出现了一批我们历史上最杰出的将军——马歇尔、艾森豪威尔、巴顿、斯蒂尔韦尔、布拉德利,以及他们中最引人注目、有人认为最聪明的道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军。

What follows is a two-part film biography of MacArthur, an American life story ranging over much of the world, and that begins at a army post in New Mexico in the 1880's, far removed from the tumultuous century to come.

接下来是一部由两部分组成的麦克阿瑟电影传记,讲述了一个横跨世界大部分地区的美国人生故事,故事始于 1880 年代新墨西哥州的一个军队哨所,与即将到来的动荡世纪相去甚远。

But then MacArthur himself often seemed like a figure from another time, this man who was such a force in altogether three major wars.

但麦克阿瑟本人常常看起来像是另一个时代的人物,这个人在三场重大战争中都是如此强大的力量。

There was nothing simple about him.

他一点也不简单。

He was vain, haughty, theatrical, an incurable poser, and given to oratorical flourishes of a kind only he could have gotten away with.

他虚荣、傲慢、做作,是一个无可救药的装腔作势者,并且喜欢华丽的演讲,只有他才能逃脱惩罚。

He was also, most importantly a born leader, fearless, intensely patriotic, and highly ambitious, indeed, supremely conscious of himself as a "man of destiny." But, as Shakespeare reminds us, big wars make ambition a virtue.

最重要的是,他还是一位天生的领导者,无畏、强烈的爱国心和雄心勃勃,事实上,他非常意识到自己是一个“命运之人”。但是,正如莎士比亚提醒我们的那样,大战使野心成为一种美德。

That Douglas MacArthur was one of the most interesting and important figures of the century, there is no question.

毫无疑问,道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟是本世纪最有趣、最重要的人物之一。

Part I of MacArthur, written and produced by Austin Hoyt.

Douglas MacArthur, "You are advised to surrender." A MacArthur, he knew, never surrendered.

He was prepared to die as a soldier.

他已经做好了作为一名士兵赴死的准备。

Ordered to abandon his army, he felt betrayed by enemies in Washington.

他被命令放弃军队,他感到自己被华盛顿的敌人出卖了。

His lonely quest to rescue his men became one of the great sagas of World War II.

他孤独地营救自己的士兵,成为第二次世界大战中最伟大的传奇故事之一。

A journey\ less lonely because of a family who shared the war years with him - a wife he married at age 57 and a son who he hoped would one day be a soldier.

这段旅程不再那么孤独,因为有一个家庭与他一起度过了战争岁月——他在 57 岁时结婚的妻子和他希望有一天能成为一名士兵的儿子。

He was welcomed home as no American had ever been - a hero as well to Australians, Filipinos, South Koreans - even the Japanese.

他受到了前所未有的美国人欢迎回家——对澳大利亚人、菲律宾人、韩国人——甚至日本人来说也是英雄。

MICHAEL SCHALLER, Historian: The sad thing for him is that those achievements were never enough.

历史学家迈克尔·夏勒:对他来说可悲的是,这些成就还远远不够。

He always felt that those above him denied him the recognition that he rightly deserved and I think nurtured lifelong grudges against almost anybody in a position superior to him.

NARR: Douglas MacArthur became so controversial that he stirred political passions Americans had not known since the Civil War.

There is an element in MacArthur's temperament that is really that of the writer, the poet, the artist who has somehow ended up in uniform.

麦克阿瑟的气质中有一种元素,实际上是作家、诗人、艺术家的气质,但不知何故最终穿上了制服。

And he believed only a handful of people really counted in history.

他相信只有少数人真正能载入史册。

And his role in life was to be one of that handful of people.

他在生活中的角色就是成为那少数人中的一员。

MacArthur truly believed that honor was more important than death itself, and I think Douglas always felt the need to equal, not surpass, no one could surpass the bravery of Douglas's father, certainly not in Douglas's mind, but not to disappoint his father, to try to equal that bravery.

麦克阿瑟确实相信荣誉比死亡本身更重要,而且我认为道格拉斯总是觉得需要平等,而不是超越,没有人能够超越道格拉斯父亲的勇敢,当然不是在道格拉斯的心中,但不要让他的父亲失望,试图与这种勇敢相媲美。

迈哈弗,军事历史学家:彩虹师的每个人都知道,他们的参谋长做得太过分了,没有戴防毒面具,没有戴钢盔,戴着他母亲做的长围巾,穿着他的西点军校毛衣,部队很喜欢它。

“给我查蒂永,麦克阿瑟,”他突然说道,“或者一份 5000 人伤亡的名单。” “好吧,将军,”麦克阿瑟回答道,“我们会接受的,否则我的名字就会名列前茅。”知道他会分担他们的风险,他的手下可以感到一些安慰。

The challenge was daunting.

Embedded in the Cote de Chatillon were 230 machine gun nests - protected from artillery by pillboxes.

“我们在黑暗中没走多远,”他回忆道,“敌人就用尽一切办法打开了大门。”在炮弹爆炸的怪异光芒中,他发现铁丝网中有一个细小的地方,人们可以在这里切开。

佩雷特:虽然麦克阿瑟从未具体谈论过沙蒂隆山的伤亡情况,但他的情感影响一直伴随着他的余生,因为他永远无法在谈论那里发生的事情时不流泪,他会哽咽,无法真正谈论它。

He had not even killed anyone.Douglas MacArthur was the most decorated officer of the war, but he came to believe that Pershing's clique was out to thwart him, armchair generals who resented a fighting officer.

他甚至没有杀过任何人。道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟是战争中获得勋章最多的军官,但他开始相信潘兴的集团是为了阻挠他,这些空想的将军憎恨一名战斗军官。

When he arrived in New York with his troops on April 25th, 1919, MacArthur expected an adoring throng "to proclaim us monarchs of all we surveyed." At the foot of the gangplank "one little urchin asked us who we were," MacArthur wrote, "and when we said 'We are the famous 42nd', he asked if we had been to France.

1919 年 4 月 25 日,当麦克阿瑟率领部队抵达纽约时,他期待着一群崇拜他的人“宣称我们是我们所调查的所有人的君主”。在跳板脚下,“一个小顽童问我们是谁,”麦克阿瑟写道,“当我们说‘我们是著名的第 42 师’时,他问我们是否去过法国。

"Amid a silence that hurt we marched off to be scattered to the four winds, a sad, gloomy end of the Rainbow."MacArthur landed one of the Army's top jobs, superintendent of West Point.

“振兴和改造学院。”安布罗斯:没有人会认为道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟是一位改革者和创新者,但他从第一次世界大战的经历中回来,决心将西点军校拉入 20 世纪。

他说,我们将不得不面对即将发生另一场战争的事实。

It's going to be another enormous expansion of the army when it happens, and we're going to have to have officers who can deal with these civilians and who can help turn these civilians into soldiers and then can lead these civilians into battle and they gotta know something about the civilian world if they're gonna do that.

当这种情况发生时,这将是军队的又一次大规模扩张,我们将必须拥有能够与这些平民打交道的军官,能够帮助将这些平民变成士兵,然后能够带领这些平民进入战斗,如果他们想要做到这一点,他们就必须了解平民世界。

AMBROSE : When they found out MacArthur was gonna give the cadets five dollars a month and let them go down to Highland Falls once in a while and spend some of that money, they were horrified.

当他坐在课堂上鼓励讨论而不是死记硬背时,教师们认为这是一种“危险的创新”。安布罗斯:当他们发现麦克阿瑟每个月会给学员五美元,并让他们偶尔去高地瀑布花一些钱时,他们感到震惊。

When they heard that first classmen were going to be allowed to go and come from the post as they wished, you'd a thought the world had come to an end almost.

坦娅·布鲁克斯,儿媳妇:这绝对是一见钟情,据我所知,双方都是一见钟情。

She thought he was the handsomest man she'd ever seen, and because the general was a very romantic man, he wrote beautiful poetic letters that any young girl would be happy today to get but not likely to get.

她认为他是她见过的最英俊的男人,而且因为将军是一个非常浪漫的男人,他写了美丽的诗意信件,任何一个年轻女孩今天都会很高兴收到但不太可能收到。

He was a man of another world in that respect.

It was one of the things that I think estranged him from many people in his generation.

我认为这是他与同时代许多人疏远的原因之一。

安布罗斯:对于麦克阿瑟来说,这确实伤害了他在美国人民中的广泛基础,但在这个广泛的基础中也有一些人对麦克阿瑟的所作所为表示赞赏,而且麦克阿瑟一生都在为共和党的右翼服务。

FDR was enraged, and he said, "Never speak to the President of the United States that way."

达莱克:麦克阿瑟对罗斯福说,“当我们输掉下一场战争,一个美国男孩肚子里插着日本刺刀,在泥浆里痛苦地翻滚时,我希望他以诅咒的形式吐出的最后一句话不是针对道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟,而是针对富兰克林·罗斯福。”罗斯福被激怒了,他说:“永远不要用这种方式对美国总统说话。”麦克阿瑟提出辞职,但罗斯福高兴起来,说道:“不,不,道格拉斯,我们必须在这件事上团结起来。”纳尔:离开白宫时,将军感到恶心。

SCHALLER: By today's standards, I'm sure, people would find them barely worthy of note, rather tepid Victorian style love letters, more affectionate than kinky.

夏勒:我确信,按照今天的标准,人们会发现它们几乎不值得一提,而是不温不火的维多利亚风格情书,更多的是深情而不是古怪。

Still they were a potential source of grave embarrassment.

KARNOW: Now Pearson's lawyer says Want to sue?

MacArthur could have stonewalled it, but what he's really worried about is his mother will find out.

麦克阿瑟本可以阻止此事,但他真正担心的是他的母亲会发现。

So, in the end, instead of suing Drew Pearson, he pays him 15,000 dollars to get back the letters, and on top of that he pays Dimples as well to be freed of this relationship.

所以,最后,他没有起诉德鲁·皮尔森,而是付给德鲁·皮尔森 15,000 美元以取回信件,最重要的是,他还付给迪普尔斯以摆脱这段关系。

To Eisenhower it was "ridiculous" for someone who had held the highest rank in the U.S. Army to want to be field marshal of a "virtually non-existent army." MacArthur, who felt he understood what he called "the Oriental mind," thought Filipinos would respect someone with an exalted title.

对艾森豪威尔来说,一个在美国陆军中担任最高军衔的人想要成为一支“几乎不存在的军队”的陆军元帅是“荒谬的”。麦克阿瑟自认为理解他所谓的“东方思想”,他认为菲律宾人会尊重拥有崇高头衔的人。

MERRILL PASCO, Aide to Marshall: Marshall was just terrified that the Japanese would get a hold of MacArthur.

马歇尔的助手梅里尔·帕斯科:马歇尔只是害怕日本人会抓住麦克阿瑟。

And he refused on several occasions and said he was not going to leave.

And, finally General Marshall went to Mr. Roosevelt and got him to sign a personal message to him, ordering him as Commander in Chief to go to Australia.

最后,马歇尔将军找到罗斯福先生,让他签署了一份给他的个人信息,命令他作为总司令前往澳大利亚。

DALLEK: MacArthur of course kept protesting that he did not want to leave the Philippines, that for him to have gone to Australia would be seen as a retreat, as even cowardly, as abandoning his men, but Roosevelt was insistent on it.

达莱克:麦克阿瑟当然一直抗议说他不想离开菲律宾,对他来说去澳大利亚会被视为撤退,甚至被视为懦弱,被视为抛弃了他的部下,但罗斯福坚持这样做。

No Uncle Sam." "I could feel my face go white," MacArthur recalled.

四岁的亚瑟被告知他只能随身携带一只毛绒动物,他称之为“老朋友”。琼拿着口红、梳子和用手帕包着的粉盒上岸了。

He had discussed what he could say to them with a Filipino aide, Major Carlos Romulo.

他已经与菲律宾助手卡洛斯·罗慕洛少校讨论了他可以对他们说些什么。

ROMULO: And General MacArthur suggested one of those stiff, formal things like, "MacArthur will not let you down.

罗慕洛:麦克阿瑟将军提出了一些僵硬、正式的建议,比如“麦克阿瑟不会让你失望的。

" And Romy said that's not going to float, that isn't going to make it, you've got to have some thing that has gut value, that's very personal and direct.

“罗米说,这不会漂浮,也不会成功,你必须拥有一些具有内在价值的东西,这是非常个人化和直接的。

And he composed, "I shall return." And MacArthur, who many people have criticized for being arrogant and saying, "I shall return," said isn't that a bit much, you know, "I, I shall return,"--you know, this is an army that is going to return.

他写道:“我会回来的。”麦克阿瑟被许多人批评为傲慢,说“我会回来”,他说的是不是有点过分了,你知道,“我,我会回来”——你知道,这是一支即将回归的军队。

夏勒:到了 1942 年春天,美国的军事形势显得如此惨淡,正如陆军参谋长乔治·马歇尔所说,我们正在寻找英雄。

This was not what Admiral Ernest J.

这并不是欧内斯特·J·海军上将所想的。

King, Chief of Naval Operations, had in mind.

海军作战部长金想到了这一点。

A war against Japan had always been the Navy's job.

对日战争一直是海军的职责。

King was "the most even tempered man in the Navy," his daughter said.

金的女儿说,他是“海军中脾气最温和的人”。

"He was always in a rage."

“他总是处于愤怒之中。”

He took over the Navy at its lowest moment--the destruction of much of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Redemption of the Navy's pride rested with Admiral Ernest J.

As his colleague on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, George Marshall, soon learned.

正如他在参谋长联席会议上的同事乔治·马歇尔很快了解到的那样。

ROBERT W.

罗伯特·W.

LOVE, King Biographer: Throughout the war General Marshall and Admiral King engaged in a playlet.

General Marshall would propose that General MacArthur be given overall supreme command in the Pacific.

Admiral King would object.

The Pacific is a Navy theater, he would argue.

There's more water than land.

水比土地还多。

Admiral King would then propose because the Pacific was an ocean area, that Admiral Nimitz be in command of everything, including General MacArthur.

金海军上将随后提议,因为太平洋是一个海域,所以由尼米兹海军上将指挥一切,包括麦克阿瑟将军。

NARR: Chester Nimitz, the commander of King's Pacific fleet, based at Pearl Harbor, was too junior to oversee MacArthur.

纳尔:切斯特·尼米兹是驻珍珠港的国王太平洋舰队司令,他的资历太浅,无法监督麦克阿瑟。

Unable to decide, the Joint Chiefs divided the command.

由于无法做出决定,参谋长联席会议将指挥权分开。

Nimitz got the North, Central and South Pacific.

尼米兹获得了北太平洋、中太平洋和南太平洋。

MacArthur got the Southwest Pacific but few ships.

His first task was to defend Australia.

They were pushed back.

他们被推了回来。

"Modify the Germany First strategy and send planes, ships and guns to avert disaster," MacArthur cabled Marshall.

麦克阿瑟给马歇尔发电报说:“修改‘德国优先’战略,派遣飞机、舰艇和枪支来避免灾难。”

"I beg of you ...have this momentous question reviewed by the President and the chiefs of staff, lest it become too late." HARSCH: When I was about to leave Australia to come back to the States, I was summoned to the presence, seated in a sofa, and then for an hour he paced, in a stately slow pace, up and down, in front of me.

“我请求你们……让总统和参谋长们审查这个重大问题,以免为时已晚。”哈施:当我正要离开澳大利亚返回美国时,我被叫到了现场,坐在沙发上,然后他在我面前以庄严缓慢的步伐上下踱步了一个小时。

And, he said, I must persuade the people in authority, that they should be, put the Pacific War first and the European War second.

他说,我必须说服当权者,他们应该把太平洋战争放在第一位,欧洲战争放在第二位。

PERRET: And he became overly emotional, and was sending all kinds of hysterical messages to the War Department.

佩雷特:他变得过于情绪化,并向陆军部发送各种歇斯底里的信息。

Totally ignoring the fact that there was a global war to be fought.

完全忽视了全球战争即将打响的事实。

He's only interested in one war and that's, that's the war where he is.

他只对一场战争感兴趣,那就是他所在的战争。

NARR: In private FDR complained about MacArthur's demands.

纳尔:罗斯福私下抱怨麦克阿瑟的要求。

He "seems to have forgotten," Roosevelt told an aide, that his record in Manila resembled that of [those] who faced "court-martial on charges of laxity at Pearl Harbor." MacArthur had survived the loss of the Philippines.

罗斯福对一名助手说,他“似乎忘记了”,他在马尼拉的记录与“那些在珍珠港因疏忽大意而面临军事法庭审判的人”相似。麦克阿瑟在失去菲律宾后幸存下来。

He could not survive a defeat in New Guinea.

他无法在新几内亚的失败中幸存。

He flew his troops over the mountains to assault the Japanese base camps.

Some supplies came by sea--with whatever shipping he could muster.

有些物资是通过海路运来的——无论他能召集多少船队。

One target was a missionary outpost called Buna.

其中一个目标是一个名为布纳的传教士前哨基地。

The Japanese were entrenched in camouflaged bunkers described in the official Army history as "a masterpiece".

日本人盘踞在伪装掩体中,官方陆军历史将其描述为“杰作”。

He lacked the fire power to blast them out.

他缺乏火力来消灭他们。

Desperate for a victory, MacArthur put Gen.

麦克阿瑟迫切希望取得胜利,于是派了将军。

Robert Eichelberger in charge.

罗伯特·艾切尔伯格负责。

"Bob," he told him, "If you don't take Buna, I want to hear that you are buried there." Eichelberger went on the offensive.

“鲍勃,”他告诉他,“如果你不带走布纳,我想听听你被埋在那里的消息。”艾切尔伯格继续进攻。

"This battle must be engaged."

“这场战斗必须打下去。”

On January 2, 1943 Gen.

Eichelberger captured Buna.

艾切尔伯格占领了布纳。

MacArthur had his first victory in World War II.

麦克阿瑟在第二次世界大战中取得了第一次胜利。

"The dead of Bataan will rest easier tonight," he told the press.

他对媒体说:“今晚,巴丹的死者会安息得更轻松。”

He seemed confident again.

他看起来又充满信心了。

At 63, one reporter wrote, "the youngest looking man for his age I had ever seen." But his victory had been costly.

一位 63 岁的记者写道,“他是我见过的同龄人中看起来最年轻的人。”但他的胜利代价高昂。

MacArthur's forces suffered nearly two casualties for every one they inflicted on the Japanese.

麦克阿瑟的部队每对日军造成一人伤亡,就造成近两人伤亡。

No one would know this from what he told the press.

没有人会从他对媒体所说的话中得知这一点。

"Our losses in the Buna campaign are low," MacArthur's communiqué read..."There was no necessity to hurry the attack." Reinforcements, he reasoned, would flow faster if his losses were low.

“我们在布纳战役中的损失很低,”麦克阿瑟的公报写道……“没有必要仓促进攻。”他推断,如果他的损失较小,增援部队就会更快流动。

When Eichelberger was lionized in the national press, MacArthur was furious.

当艾切尔伯格受到全国媒体的推崇时,麦克阿瑟非常愤怒。

"Do you realize I could reduce you to the grade of colonel tomorrow?" he bellowed.

“你知道明天我会把你降为上校吗?”他吼道。

Eichelberger wrote a friend in the War Department "I would rather have you slip a rattlesnake in my pocket than to have you give me any publicity." PERRET: There was only one person who was supposed to talk to press in MacArthur's theater and that was MacArthur.

艾切尔伯格给陆军部的一位朋友写信说:“我宁愿让你在我口袋里塞一条响尾蛇,也不愿让你给我做任何宣传。”佩雷特:只有一个人应该在麦克阿瑟的剧院里向媒体发表讲话,那就是麦克阿瑟。

If his photograph is on the front of LIFE magazine, this means that he's on track, he is on track to be a great man.

如果他的照片出现在《生活》杂志的封面上,这意味着他正在走上正轨,他正在成为一个伟大的人。

He is a man of destiny.

NARR: After Buna, MacArthur made sure that his publicity would give the impression that he alone was winning the Pacific war.

And that would--that would be it until the next morning.

就这样——直到第二天早上。

MacArthur only really saw his son at breakfast.

麦克阿瑟只是在早餐时才真正见到了他的儿子。

NARR : MacArthur wrote a prayer for Arthur: "Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory." Twenty years later he would use almost the same language at West Point to describe the attributes of a soldier.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟为亚瑟写了一篇祈祷文:“主啊,请为我造一个儿子,他将足够坚强,知道自己何时软弱,并勇敢地面对自己,当他害怕时;一个在诚实的失败中骄傲、不屈不挠的人,在胜利时谦虚和温柔的人。”二十年后,他在西点军校用几乎相同的语言来描述士兵的特质。

MacArthur's Air Commander, George Kenney, had masterminded the troop movements to Buna.

麦克阿瑟的空军指挥官乔治·肯尼策划了向布纳的部队调动。

In February 1943 he began to move up the New Guinea coast.

1943 年 2 月,他开始向新几内亚海岸移动。

The Navy would not risk aircraft carriers in the shoals off New Guinea.

海军不会在新几内亚附近的浅滩上冒险使用航空母舰。

MacArthur had to rely on his Army Air Force.

麦克阿瑟不得不依靠他的陆军空军。

STEPHEN TAAFFE, Historian: Initially, MacArthur does not think much of air power, because of the bad experience he'd had in the Philippines, where his Air Force was wiped out within twenty-four hours of the war beginning.

史蒂芬·塔夫,历史学家:最初,麦克阿瑟并不太重视空中力量,因为他在菲律宾有过糟糕的经历,他的空军在战争开始后二十四小时内就被消灭了。

But Kenney really converts MacArthur into an air power enthusiast.

但肯尼确实将麦克阿瑟变成了一名空中力量爱好者。

Kenny's so successful, he's so confident, he knows how to use his air forces so well, that MacArthur becomes enamored with air power.

肯尼如此成功,他如此自信,他知道如何很好地使用他的空军,以至于麦克阿瑟迷上了空中力量。

NARR: At age 63 he was learning a new way to fight a war.

纳尔:63 岁时,他正在学习一种新的战争方式。

His air force destroyed Japanese convoys carrying reinforcements to New Guinea.

他的空军摧毁了向新几内亚运送增援部队的日本车队。

Without them, the Japanese offensive in New Guinea was doomed.

没有他们,日军在新几内亚的攻势就注定失败。

By March 1943 the Japanese were on the defensive.

到 1943 年 3 月,日本已处于守势。

They dug in waiting for MacArthur to attack.

他们埋伏等待麦克阿瑟进攻。

Instead, as he was fond of saying, he would "Hit 'em where they ain't." Fly over them.

相反,正如他喜欢说的那样,他会“打击他们不攻击的地方”。飞过他们。

Bypass their strongholds.

绕过他们的据点。

MacArthur went along on one early mission.

麦克阿瑟参加了一项早期任务。

"They're my kids, too," he told Kenney.

“他们也是我的孩子,”他告诉肯尼。

He was less worried about getting shot than getting sick: "I'd hate to get sick and disgrace myself in front of the kids." In MacArthur's first airborne assault, his "kids" captured a Japanese airfield.

他更担心的是生病,而不是中枪:“我不想生病,也不想在孩子们面前丢脸。”在麦克阿瑟的第一次空降攻击中,他的“孩子们”占领了日本的一个机场。

That set the pattern for his New Guinea offensive.

这为他的新几内亚攻势奠定了基础。

Securing one airfield after another.

保卫一个又一个机场。

TAAFFE: MacArthur's offensive across New Guinea is a march of the airfields.

塔夫:麦克阿瑟在新几内亚的攻势是机场的行军。

Remember, Nimitz and King will not let MacArthur have any aircraft carriers, so he has to find his own close air support.

请记住,尼米兹和金不会让麦克阿瑟拥有任何航母,所以他必须找到自己的近距离空中支援。

The only way to do that is to move inland from the beach, seize an airfield or build an airfield, and then use that position to destroy enemy air power down the coast some more, and repeat the same operation.

唯一的方法就是从海滩向内陆移动,夺取机场或建造机场,然后利用该阵地进一步摧毁沿海的敌方空中力量,并重复同样的行动。

And that's what the New Guinea offensive is.

这就是新几内亚攻势的内容。

NARR: He was driving slowly toward the Philippines.

纳尔:他正缓慢地驶向菲律宾。

What he learned that summer of 1943 would drive him harder.

From soldiers smuggled out by submarine, he learned what happened to the army he left behind.

从乘潜艇偷运出去的士兵那里,他了解到了他留下的军队的下场。

他了解到巴丹死亡行军。

GORDON: As I was marched down that road, where they captured me, I passed my battalion commander, Major James Ivy, and he had been tied to a tree and he was stripped to the waist and he was just covered with bayonet holes.

戈登:当我沿着那条路行进时,他们抓住了我,我经过了我的营长詹姆斯·艾维少校,他被绑在一棵树上,他的上身被剥光,身上布满了刺刀孔。

BURGOS: Oh, they bayoneted people, they shoot people, and if they think that you were delaying the march, you're dead.

布尔戈斯:哦,他们用刺刀刺人,他们向人开枪,如果他们认为你拖延了行军,你就死定了。

BECK: You'd hear a shot fired.

贝克:你会听到一声枪响。

And you'd look back and there lays a body behind you, but you, they wouldn't let you go back and take care of him.

你回头一看,你身后躺着一具尸体,但你,他们不让你回去照顾他。

BURGOS: If you tried to get food which was thrown by the civilians, that not only endangered you, but the one who was giving the food or throwing the food to you.

布尔戈斯:如果你试图拿到平民扔掉的食物,那不仅会危及你,还会危及给你食物或向你扔食物的人。

GORDON: They provided food one time in those nine days.

戈登:在那九天内他们提供了一次食物。

It was in a horrible place that was just jammed with humanity.

那是一个充满人类的可怕地方。

The disease and the smell of the place was sickening.

这个地方的疾病和气味令人作呕。

You couldn't get out, you couldn't lie down, there was no room.

你无法出去,你无法躺下,没有空间。

And men went mad in the place overnight.

一夜之间,人们在这个地方变得疯狂。

NARR: Some made their way out of Bataan to join the resistance as guerrillas.

纳尔:有些人离开巴丹,以游击队的身份加入抵抗组织。

And to wait for MacArthur's return.

并等待麦克阿瑟归来。

RAMSEY : I leave, but I shall return.

拉姆齐:我离开了,但我会回来的。

Well, those of us who admired him, always believed he would return.

好吧,我们这些崇拜他的人一直相信他会回来。

BECK: I never lost hope.

贝克:我从未失去希望。

If I had, I'd probably surrendered, like all the rest of them did.

如果我这样做了,我可能会投降,就像其他人一样。

I always thought enough of America that some day our army would be, be back there to get us.

我一直对美国有足够的想法,有一天我们的军队会回到那里来对付我们。

NARR: MacArthur said he would return.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟说他会回来。

The Joint Chiefs never did.

参谋长联席会议从来没有这样做过。

In the fall of 1943 they began to favor Admiral King's Navy which had launched new fast carriers.

1943 年秋,他们开始青睐金海军上将海军,该海军已经下水了新型快速航母。

PERRET: The Navy was surprised, but delighted.

佩雷特:海军很惊讶,但也很高兴。

MacArthur was surprised and appalled.

麦克阿瑟感到惊讶和震惊。

Because it looked for a while in 19-- By the end of 1943 that the Navy was going to get to Japan before MacArthur could get to the Philippines.

因为在 19 年,到 1943 年底,海军似乎将在麦克阿瑟到达菲律宾之前到达日本。

NARR: MacArthur worried that he might be forced to end the war as the conqueror of New Guinea.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟担心他可能会被迫作为新几内亚的征服者结束战争。

Not the Liberator of Luzon.

不是吕宋岛的解放者。

When he got a new B-17 that fall, he told the pilot who picked it up "I want the plane named Bataan, and the artist is to paint a map of the Philippines on the side...That's an order." He made certain that everyone knew where he was headed.

那年秋天,当他收到一架新的 B-17 时,他告诉接机的飞行员“我想要这架飞机名为巴丹 (Bataan),艺术家要在侧面画一张菲律宾地图……这是命令。”他确保每个人都知道他要去哪里。

The Navy's drive to Japan began in November 1943 with a Marine assault on a tiny island named Tarawa.

1943 年 11 月,海军陆战队对一个名叫塔拉瓦的小岛发动进攻,开始向日本进军。

Landing craft stuck at low tide were sitting ducks for Japanese gunners.

退潮时被困的登陆艇对日本炮手来说是易受攻击的目标。

One thousand marines were killed, two thousand injured to take an atoll less than three square miles.

一千名海军陆战队员被杀,两千人受伤,占领了一个不到三平方英里的环礁。

At this time, the war plan was being set for 1944.

此时,1944年的战争计划正在制定中。

To MacArthur's horror, it continued to favor the people who had planned Tarawa.

令麦克阿瑟感到恐惧的是,它继续对塔拉瓦计划的制定者有利。

In December 1943 the big powers agreed on a second front in Europe; Eisenhower would lead it.

1943 年 12 月,大国就欧洲第二战场达成一致。艾森豪威尔将领导它。

The British opposed America's Pacific offensive as diverting shipping away from Eisenhower.

英国反对美国的太平洋攻势,因为它会转移航运路线,远离艾森豪威尔。

George Marshall fought the British to preserve the Pacific war but had to tell MacArthur that the Navy was still going to lead it.

乔治·马歇尔与英国作战以维持太平洋战争,但不得不告诉麦克阿瑟海军仍将领导这场战争。

LOVE: MacArthur received this with a lack of grace that's really stunning.

爱:麦克阿瑟以一种缺乏优雅的方式接受了这一点,这真是令人震惊。

On the other hand, he was heart-broken.

另一方面,他又心痛不已。

He had, after all, been shorted his shipping, to a degree that's virtually unmanageable.

毕竟,他的运费已经短缺到几乎无法管理的程度。

He had conducted an offensive on a shoestring.

他是用小本钱发动进攻的。

He had done marvelous work with limited air and with only a handful of divisions.

他在有限的空军和少数几个师的帮助下完成了出色的工作。

And now he was being told, in effect, that despite a series of stunning victories, he was going to have a competitor in the north for shipping.

现在他实际上被告知,尽管取得了一系列惊人的胜利,但他在北方的航运领域将面临一个竞争对手。

And shipping was a big problem in the Pacific.

航运是太平洋地区的一个大问题。

NARR: MacArthur claimed the Chiefs had shortchanged him because of Admiral King's animosity toward him.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟声称,由于金海军上将对他怀有敌意,酋长们欺骗了他。

STOLER : My guess is, that Marshall didn't phrase it in those terms, but that MacArthur interpreted it in those terms.

斯托勒:我的猜测是,马歇尔没有用这些术语来表达它,但麦克阿瑟用这些术语解释了它。

MacArthur personalized issues.

麦克阿瑟个性化问题。

And, my belief is that Marshall said you've got to understand that the Navy is also out here.

而且,我相信马歇尔说你必须明白海军也在这里。

And he said, ah huh, they're trying to, to stop me.

他说,啊哈,他们试图阻止我。

NARR: Admiral Nimitz assaulted the Japanese in the Marshall Islands two months ahead of schedule.

纳尔:尼米兹海军上将提前两个月袭击了马绍尔群岛的日本人。

MacArthur was shocked.

麦克阿瑟大吃一惊。

To keep up with the Navy, he had to do something dramatic.

为了跟上海军的步伐,他必须做一些戏剧性的事情。

He decided to seize the largest island in a chain called the Admiralties.

他决定夺取海军部岛链中最大的岛屿。

It would protect his right flank for the march across New Guinea toward the Philippines.

它将保护他穿过新几内亚向菲律宾进军的右翼。

TAAFFE: If he doesn't take the Admiralties as quickly as possible, if he adheres to the original strategic timetable, it might be too late to influence the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

塔夫:如果他不尽快拿下海军部,如果他坚持原来的战略时间表,那么影响参谋长联席会议可能就太晚了。

So even if he would take the Admiralties behind schedule, it wouldn't matter, he would be frozen out of the Pacific war.

因此,即使他将海军部的行动推迟,也没关系,他将被排除在太平洋战争之外。

So MacArthur thinks it's well worth the risk.

因此麦克阿瑟认为冒这个险是值得的。

NARR: He would attack quickly with a mere 1,000 men discarding the plan for an assault a month later with many thousands more.

纳尔:他会以区区 1,000 人的兵力快速发起进攻,而放弃了一个月后率领数千人发起进攻的计划。

"The place is lousy with Japs," a scouting party reported.

“这个地方到处都是日本人,情况很糟糕,”一支侦察队报告道。

MacArthur did not back down.

麦克阿瑟没有退缩。

"He was restless.

“他焦躁不安。

Too excited to sleep," his doctor recalled.

太兴奋了,睡不着,”他的医生回忆道。

"It was almost as if battle 'fed' his system." As the assault began he learned the Navy wanted the island's harbor to support its Central Pacific drive.

“就好像战斗‘喂养’了他的系统。”随着攻击开始,他了解到海军希望该岛的港口支持其在中太平洋的进攻。

He wired Marshall requesting an audience with the president.

他给马歇尔发电报,请求会见总统。

PERRET: There is an implied threat that if he doesn't get his way, he'll have a showdown with the President.

佩雷特:有一个隐含的威胁,如果他不按自己的意愿行事,他将与总统摊牌。

He will remain in the United States.

他将留在美国。

He will be out of the war.

他将退出战争。

He does not want to be squeezed out and watch the Navy in the last year of the war fighting all of the battles and getting all of the glory.

他不想被排挤,看着海军在战争的最后一年打完所有的仗,获得所有的荣耀。

NARR: If he went ashore, MacArthur reasoned, how could the Joint Chiefs order him to give the Navy what he had risked his life to seize?

纳尔:麦克阿瑟推断,如果他上岸,参谋长联席会议怎么能命令他将他冒着生命危险夺取的东西交给海军呢?

Refusing a helmet, he sported his Philippine Field Marshal's cap.

他拒绝戴头盔,而是戴着菲律宾陆军元帅的帽子。

"Sir, we killed a Jap sniper in there just a few minutes ago," an officer warned him.

“长官,几分钟前我们在那里杀死了一名日本狙击手,”一名军官警告他。

"Fine," MacArthur replied.

“好吧,”麦克阿瑟回答道。

"That's the best thing to do with them." To keep up with the Navy MacArthur had gambled and won.

“这是与他们一起做的最好的事情。”为了跟上海军的步伐,麦克阿瑟赌博并赢了。

"He saw opportunities," an Army historian noted, "where other men saw problems." Even crusty Admiral King, who compromised on the harbor, admitted the invasion was "a brilliant maneuver." Two weeks later, in March 1944, the Joint Chiefs authorized MacArthur to advance to Mindanao in the Southern Philippines.

一位陆军历史学家指出:“他在其他人看到问题的地方看到了机会。”就连在港口问题上妥协的顽固的金海军上将也承认这次入侵是“一次绝妙的策略”。两周后,即 1944 年 3 月,参谋长联席会议授权麦克阿瑟向菲律宾南部的棉兰老岛挺进。

He seized this as his chance for redemption.

他抓住了这次救赎的机会。

His chance to rescue the men he had left behind.

他有机会拯救他留下的人。

BURGOS : The situation at that time was the Japanese were already too cruel, and we needed help right here in our country.

布尔戈斯:当时的情况是日本人已经太残酷了,我们国家需要帮助。

And that's why it made a lot of difference for MacArthur to think of coming back to the Philippines and liberate the Philippines before going to Japan.

这就是为什么麦克阿瑟在去日本之前考虑回到菲律宾并解放菲律宾的原因有很大的不同。

NARR: But the chiefs had only guaranteed MacArthur a return to the Southern Philippines.

纳尔:但酋长们只保证麦克阿瑟返回菲律宾南部。

Only a token return.

仅返回一个令牌。

The possibility of a triumphal return as the Liberator of Luzon -where his men were - was remote.

作为吕宋岛解放者凯旋而归的可能性——他的部下所在的地方——是微乎其微的。

His chance to be a man of destiny was fading.

他成为命运之人的机会正在消失。

MACARTHUR: "Two years ago, I said to the people of the Philippines whence I came --'I shall return.' Tonight I repeat those words.

麦克阿瑟:“两年前,我对我来自的菲律宾人民说——‘我会回来的。’”今晚我重复这些话。

I shall return." NARR: MacArthur's vow at a state dinner in Australia came five days after he had received word he would probably not return.

我会回来的。”纳尔:麦克阿瑟在澳大利亚国宴上宣誓的五天前,他收到了他可能不会回来的消息。

It was his message to the Joint Chiefs that the debate was far from over.

他向参谋长联席会议传达的信息是,辩论远未结束。

David McCullough, Series Host: Hello.

系列主持人大卫·麦卡洛:您好。

I'm David McCullough.

我是大卫·麦卡洛。

Welcome to the American Experience.

欢迎来到美国体验。

We present now the second and concluding part of "MacArthur." On Thursday, April 19, 1951, in the midst of the Korean War, a 71-year-old, five star American general, drawing to the conclusion of a powerful address to Congress, quoted lines from an old barracks ballad: " 'Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.' And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away -- an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty." And then he said, "Good-bye." It was a moment like no other, the famous curtain line for one of the longest most dramatic military careers in our history.

我们现在介绍《麦克阿瑟》的第二部分和结论部分。 1951 年 4 月 19 日星期四,朝鲜战争期间,一位 71 岁的五星级美国将军在向国会发表强有力的演讲时引用了一首古老的军营民谣中的台词:“‘老士兵永远不会死,他们只是逐渐消失。’”就像那首民谣中的老士兵一样,我现在结束了我的军事生涯并逐渐消失——一名老士兵试图履行自己的职责,因为上帝给了他亮光让他看到了这一职责。”然后他说:“再见。”这是一个与众不同的时刻,也是我们历史上最长、最具戏剧性的军事生涯之一著名的谢幕时刻。

Fired for insubordination by President Harry Truman, General Douglas MacArthur had flown home from Japan to a triumphant hero's welcome.

道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军因不服从总统哈里·杜鲁门的命令而被解雇,他从日本飞回国内,受到胜利的英雄般的欢迎。

Some likened it to the return of Caesar.

有人将其比作凯撒归来。

As we saw in Part One, MacArthur was not a man to evoke indifference.

正如我们在第一部分中看到的,麦克阿瑟不是一个会引起冷漠的人。

He was idolized and ardently disliked.

他受到人们的崇拜和强烈的厌恶。

He was thought an awful ham- and the most admirable American of the age.

他被认为是一个糟糕的火腿,也是那个时代最令人钦佩的美国人。

Interestingly, he knew little of American life.

有趣的是,他对美国生活知之甚少。

When he flew home that spring of 1951, to address Congress, he hadn't set foot in the United States for fourteen years.

1951 年春天,当他飞回家向国会发表演讲时,他已经有十四年没有踏足美国了。

In half a century in the service of his country, MacArthur had seen more of war than any American.

在为国家服务的半个世纪中,麦克阿瑟经历的战争比任何美国人都多。

And watching this film, one is reminded again of how many wars there were and the horror and terrible cost of them.

观看这部电影,人们会再次想起有多少场战争以及战争的恐怖和可怕的代价。

To anyone interested in the complexities of human nature, MacArthur is an infinitely fascinating figure, and a vivid example of how often events turn on the personality of a leader.

对于任何对人性的复杂性感兴趣的人来说,麦克阿瑟是一个无限迷人的人物,也是一个生动的例子,说明事件如何经常影响领导人的个性。

HAL LAMAR, Aide to Admiral Nimitz: General MacArthur arrived at the dock where the cruiser "Baltimore" was tied up, in an open car which everybody knew belonged to the madam of the biggest whorehouse in Honolulu.

哈尔·拉马尔,尼米兹海军上将的助手:麦克阿瑟将军乘坐一辆敞篷汽车抵达停泊着“巴尔的摩”号巡洋舰的码头,这辆汽车所有人都知道属于檀香山最大妓院的夫人。

DONALD SHOWERS, Aide to Admiral Nimitz: And then he very casually and, but smartly, started walking aboard ship, up the president's gangway, up this red carpeted gangway, which no one else had used up to that point.

唐纳德·淋浴,尼米兹海军上将的助手:然后他非常随意地、但很聪明地开始登上船,走上总统的舷梯,走上这条铺着红地毯的舷梯,到目前为止还没有其他人使用过。

LAMAR: General MacArthur went up the gangway, stopped halfway, turned and waved to the crowd.

拉马尔:麦克阿瑟将军走上舷梯,中途停下来,转身向人群挥手。

SHOWER: As though he had all the time in the world and no one was, was waiting for him.

淋浴:就好像他拥有世界上所有的时间,却没有人在等他。

And then when the cheer died down, he continued on up the gangplank and boarded the ship.

当欢呼声平息下来后,他继续走上跳板,登上了船。

NARR: "I guess you know what this conference is for," FDR said, annoyed MacArthur had kept him waiting for an hour.

纳尔:“我猜你知道这次会议的目的,”罗斯福说道,他对麦克阿瑟让他等了一个小时感到恼火。

"No," MacArthur replied.

“不,”麦克阿瑟回答道。

"I am completely unprepared." ROBERT DALLEK, Historian: What a lot of nonsense.

“我完全没有准备好。”罗伯特·达莱克(ROBERT DALLEK),历史学家:废话太多了。

MacArthur wasn't prepared?

麦克阿瑟没准备好?

He knew exactly what this was about.

他很清楚这是怎么回事。

And he was all loaded for bear.

他已经做好了准备。

NARR: For three days MacArthur and Roosevelt played politics.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟和罗斯福玩了三天政治。

FDR's agenda came first.

罗斯福的议程是第一位的。

He toured military installations with Admiral of the Pacific Fleet Chester Nimitz and America's favorite general -- a prominent Republican.

他与太平洋舰队海军上将切斯特·尼米兹和美国最喜爱的将军——一位著名的共和党人一起参观了军事设施。

DALLEK: There's nobody in the Navy who shares MacArthur's prestige.

戴利克:海军中没有人能享有麦克阿瑟的威望。

I mean yes, Nimitz is important and Admiral King is important and Admiral Halsey is important, but no one has the prestige and standing that Douglas MacArthur does, and Roosevelt identifies himself with MacArthur again.

我的意思是,是的,尼米兹很重要,金上将很重要,哈尔西上将也很重要,但没有人拥有道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟那样的威望和地位,而罗斯福再次将自己与麦克阿瑟等同起来。

He's taming him.

他正在驯服他。

He's using him.

他在利用他。

He's going to disarm conservative mood and attitude and feeling in the United States.

他将消除美国保守的情绪、态度和感觉。

NARR: MacArthur's turn came after supper when they discussed the next step in the war against Japan.

纳尔:晚饭后,当他们讨论对日战争的下一步时,麦克阿瑟轮到了。

Admiral Nimitz made the case for attacking Formosa.

尼米兹海军上将提出了攻击福尔摩沙的理由。

MacArthur stressed America's moral obligation to liberate the Philippines.

麦克阿瑟强调美国有解放菲律宾的道德义务。

LAMAR: Well, MacArthur, the Admiral said, kept repeating, "I have promised the people of the Philippines, that I will return -- I have to keep my word, I cannot break the word." He said, "The United States would hate me, if I didn't keep my word." PERRET: The next day after lunch, he managed to get ten minutes alone with Roosevelt.

拉马尔:嗯,麦克阿瑟,海军上将不断重复说,“我已经向菲律宾人民承诺,我会回来——我必须信守诺言,我不能食言。”他说:“如果我不遵守诺言,美国会恨我。”佩雷特:第二天午餐后,他设法与罗斯福单独相处了十分钟。

And he made his strongest case, which was essentially a political pitch.

他提出了他最有力的论点,这本质上是一个政治主张。

He said, "Mr. President, you hope to be re-elected President.

他说:“总统先生,您希望再次当选总统。

But the country would never forgive you if you left 17 million Christian American subjects to wither under the conqueror's heel until there is a peace treaty.

但如果你让 1700 万美国基督徒臣民在征服者的脚下枯萎,直到达成和平条约,这个国家永远不会原谅你。

Politically, it would ruin you." DALLEK: He was leaving no question in Roosevelt's mind that if you bypass the Philippines, I am going to present a challenge to you politically, not necessarily to run for the Presidency against you, but to undermine your political standing with massive numbers of Americans who will see the betrayal that you're, "the betrayal" that you're committing." NARR: Douglas MacArthur and Franklin Roosevelt may well have struck a deal.

从政治上来说,这会毁了你。”戴莱克:他毫无疑问地在罗斯福心里留下了这样的印象:如果你绕过菲律宾,我将在政治上向你提出挑战,不一定是为了反对你竞选总统,而是为了削弱你在大量美国人中的政治地位,他们会看到你的背叛,你正在犯下的“背叛”。”纳尔:道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟和富兰克林·罗斯福很可能已经达成协议。

SCHALLER: Both men came away convinced that MacArthur would not do anything politically disruptive before the Presidential election and Roosevelt would weigh in on the side of a plan to have a large scale liberation of at least part of the Philippines, if not all.

夏勒:两人离开时都相信,麦克阿瑟不会在总统选举前做出任何政治破坏性的事情,而罗斯福也会参与大规模解放菲律宾至少部分地区(如果不是全部)的计划。

NARR: Roosevelt wrote MacArthur saying he would "push on that plan." There is no evidence he ever did.

纳尔:罗斯福写信给麦克阿瑟说他将“推动该计划”。没有证据表明他曾经这样做过。

At the end of July within days of their meeting, MacArthur's forces were at the western tip of New Guinea.

七月底,在他们会面几天后,麦克阿瑟的部队就到达了新几内亚的西端。

ZENEIDA QUEZON AVANCENA, Daughter od President Quezon: On August 1, 1944, my father had the radio turned on to listen to the news.

奎松总统的女儿泽内达·奎松·阿文塞纳:1944 年 8 月 1 日,我父亲打开收音机听新闻。

And the news came that the Americans had landed in an island 800 miles from the Philippines.

消息传来,美国人已经在距菲律宾 800 英里的一座岛屿上登陆。

And my father said, "Only 800 miles." NARR: Manuel Quezon would never follow MacArthur's bayonets back to the Philippines.

我父亲说:“只有 800 英里。”纳尔:曼努埃尔·奎松永远不会跟随麦克阿瑟的刺刀回到菲律宾。

He died an hour later.

一小时后他去世了。

On September 8, the Joint Chiefs informed MacArthur he could advance to the island of Leyte in the central Philippines.

9月8日,参谋长联席会议通知麦克阿瑟,他可以挺进菲律宾中部的莱特岛。

They made no decision on what lay next -- Luzon or Formosa.

他们还没有决定接下来要做什么——吕宋岛还是福尔摩沙。

A week later he landed on an island north of New Guinea, only 300 miles from the Southern Philippines.

一周后,他降落在新几内亚北部的一个岛屿上,距离菲律宾南部仅 300 英里。

He gazed out to sea, an aide recalled, as though he could glimpse through the clouds, the rugged mountains of Bataan and the charred spine of Corregidor.

一位助手回忆道,他凝视着大海,仿佛可以透过云层瞥见巴丹崎岖的山脉和科雷吉多岛烧焦的脊椎。

"They are waiting for me there," he said.

“他们在那里等我,”他说。

"It has been a long time." Just days before, planes from Navy carriers had bombed the Southern Philippines, then Leyte further north.

“已经很久了。”就在几天前,海军航空母舰的飞机轰炸了菲律宾南部,然后轰炸了更北的莱特岛。

They met little resistance.

他们几乎没有遇到阻力。

Admiral Halsey wired Admiral Nimitz in Honolulu recommending an earlier landing at Leyte.

哈尔西海军上将致电檀香山的尼米兹海军上将,建议尽早登陆莱特岛。

Nimitz forwarded the cable to the Joint Chiefs offering MacArthur the Navy's support.

尼米兹将电报转发给参谋长联席会议,向麦克阿瑟提供海军支持。

The Joint Chiefs advanced the date of the Leyte landing.

参谋长联席会议提前了莱特岛登陆的日期。

Then decided the issue MacArthur felt so strongly about.

然后决定麦克阿瑟强烈关注的问题。

The Luzon-Formosa question was resolved not on the basis of institutional loyalties.

吕宋-福尔摩沙问题的解决不是基于机构忠诚。

Not on the morality of bypassing tortured prisoners, but on logistics.

不是关于绕过遭受酷刑的囚犯的道德问题,而是关于后勤工作。

TAAFFE: One of the problems with invading Formosa is that it's logistically difficult.

塔夫:入侵福尔摩沙的问题之一是后勤方面的困难。

The Navy has moved across the central Pacific rather rapidly, and in order to accumulate the men and material to invade Formosa would take too long, it would mean the Pacific war would have to stagnate for a couple of months, and no American military planner wants that.

海军已经相当迅速地穿越了太平洋中部,而为了积累入侵台湾的人员和物资需要太长时间,这意味着太平洋战争将不得不停滞几个月,而没有一个美国军事策划者希望这样。

They want to keep the ball rolling, they want to continue to advance on Japan.

他们想要继续前进,他们想要继续向日本前进。

NARR: The Navy's success in the bitter rivalry helped to assure MacArthur's redemption.

纳尔:海军在激烈竞争中的成功有助于确保麦克阿瑟的救赎。

The Leyte invasion would mark the beginning of his liberation of The Philippines.

莱特岛的入侵标志着他解放菲律宾的开始。

He had long complained about a lack of shipping.

他长期以来一直抱怨缺乏运输。

No longer.

不再了。

"Tell Arthur," he wrote his wife Jean from the cruiser Nashville, "that we have more than 600 ships and that as far as I can see in all directions there are nothing but ships...With all love...to you both.

“告诉亚瑟,”他在纳什维尔号巡洋舰上写信给他的妻子吉恩,“我们有 600 多艘船,而就我所见,四面八方除了船只什么都没有……致以全部的爱……对你们俩。

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow when I go in." On October 20, MacArthur went ashore, the last four star general to exercise command at the front.

明天我进去的时候就会想起你。” 10 月 20 日,麦克阿瑟上岸,成为最后一位在前线指挥的四星将军。

His two and one half year quest was over.

他两年半的探索结束了。

MacARTHUR: People of the Philippines, I have returned.

麦克阿瑟:菲律宾人民,我回来了。

Rally to me.

集会到我身边。

Let the indomitable spirit of Bataan and Corregidor lead on.

让巴丹和科雷吉多的不屈不挠的精神继续前行。

Rise and strike!

奋起罢工!

For future generations of your sons and daughters, strike!

为了你们的子孙后代,罢工吧!

In the name of your sacred dead, strike!

以你们神圣死者的名义,出击!

Let no heart be faint.

不要让任何一颗心都灰心。

Let every arm be steeled...

让每一条手臂都成为钢铁...

NARR: Ten days after the landing, a MacArthur communiqué said Leyte was secure.

纳尔:登陆十天后,麦克阿瑟公报称莱特岛安全了。

But the fighting, journalists noted, had hardly begun.

但记者指出,战斗才刚刚开始。

"The elections are coming up in a few days," a press officer explained.

“选举将在几天后进行,”一位新闻官员解释道。

If MacArthur had made a deal to give FDR good news before the election, he delivered on that day.

如果麦克阿瑟在选举前达成协议,向罗斯福传达好消息,他就会在选举当天兑现承诺。

FDR: Speaking of the glorious operations in the Philippines -- I wonder whatever became of the suggestion made a few weeks ago that I had failed for political reasons to send enough forces or supplies to General MacArthur?

罗斯福:谈到在菲律宾的光荣行动——我想知道几周前提出的关于我因政治原因未能向麦克阿瑟将军派遣足够的部队或物资的建议怎么样了?

NARR: In December, Roosevelt promoted MacArthur and his other top generals and admirals to five star rank.

纳尔:12 月,罗斯福将麦克阿瑟和他的其他高级将军和海军上将晋升为五星级。

Within days, Admiral Nimitz paid a visit.

几天之内,尼米兹海军上将来访。

LAMAR: MacArthur was there t o greet us at the bottom of the gang plank, and when he saw the five stars, you could see this frown come in his face.

拉马尔:麦克阿瑟在跳板底部迎接我们,当他看到五颗星时,你可以看到他脸上皱起眉头。

And, later on, I understood from his aide that he was furious that the Admiral had out-shown him, by having five stars on.

后来,我从他的助手那里了解到,他对海军上将因佩戴五颗星而胜过他感到愤怒。

And General MacArthur had his staff stay up all night, filing down Philippine ten cent pieces to make five stars.

NARR: In early January, 1945, MacArthur headed for Luzon.

纳尔:1945 年 1 月初,麦克阿瑟前往吕宋岛。

As he passed Corregidor and Bataan he remembered "that black night three years gone, when I churned through these same waters with only the determination to return...I felt an indescribable sense of sorrow, of loneliness and of solemn consecration." He headed for Manila, the city where his mother had died, where he had courted his wife, where his son had been born.

当他经过科雷希多岛和巴丹岛时,他回忆起“三年前的那个黑夜,当我在同样的水域中翻腾时,只有返回的决心……我感到一种难以形容的悲伤、孤独和庄严的奉献感。”他前往马尼拉,他的母亲在那里去世,他在那里向妻子求爱,他的儿子也在那里出生。

In liberating the city he loved, he would help to destroy it.

在解放他所热爱的城市的同时,他也将帮助摧毁它。

MacARTHUR: "More than three years have elapsed -- years of bitterness, struggle and sacrifice -- since I withdrew our forces and installations from this beautiful city that...its churches and cultural centers might be spared the violence of military ravage.

麦克阿瑟:“自从我从这座美丽的城市撤走我们的部队和设施以来,已经过去了三年多了——多年的痛苦、斗争和牺牲,以便……它的教堂和文化中心可以免受军事破坏的暴力。

The enemy would not have it so...By these ashes he has wantonly fixed the future pattern of his own doom.

敌人不甘心,所以……他用这些灰烬,肆意地定下了自己未来的厄运模式。

NARR: MacArthur could not finish this speech.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟无法完成这次演讲。

WALTERS, U.S. Army: When I studied Japanese as a kid, one of the phrases in the school book was, "We, nation of 19 million, never once in battle defeated, ruled over by a dynasty seated upon the throne since before the beginning of the memory of men." There was no defeat in Japanese history.

洛夫:如果你看看密苏里号甲板上的将军和海军上将的阵容,你会发现这些人都曾在日本人手中遭受过个人损失。

麦克阿瑟所做的就是举办一个胜利仪式,向这些人表明他们已经取得了惊人的成功,同时也向他们表明存在一个过渡,一个新的和平时期,届时他们的行为和对日本的看法将不得不变得完全不同。

Besides he feared riots.

此外,他还担心发生骚乱。

"Give me bread," he cabled, "or give me bullets." American soldiers who had braced themselves for a harsh occupation were relieved that the Japanese cooperated.

“给我面包,”他电报道,“或者给我子弹。”日本人的合作让那些做好了严酷占领准备的美国士兵松了口气。

FINN, D.: They accepted the decision of the Emperor that we were not to be harmed, and I never had one incident in which I felt apprehensive.

FINN, D.:他们接受了皇帝的决定,即我们不会受到伤害,而且我从来没有遇到过让我感到担忧的事件。

Now we carried arms to be sure, and in the first four or five months when there was no lights in the city at all, it was somewhat apprehensive in terms of touring the city.

现在我们肯定带着武器,前四五个月,城里根本没有灯光,游览城里多少有些忐忑。

But I never had an incident and I always attributed that to the fact that, at that time, the reverence for the Emperor was so intense that they would not violate it.

To use Hirohito, the god emperor in whose name the Japanese had waged war, for his own ends.

约翰·道尔(Hitsorian):麦克阿瑟正在阅读的情报报告中非常明确的概念是,离间皇帝和军国主义者,我们必须说,军国主义者背叛了皇帝,你们人民现在应该效忠皇帝,我们可以说服他成为民主领袖。

NARR: But MacArthur feared his hands would be tied by America's allies who wanted to try the emperor as a war criminal.

During that two weeks, the Japanese government and military had concentrated on destroying and hiding all important official records from MacArthur's headquarters that might cause the Emperor to be implicated in war crimes.

在那两周里,日本政府和军方集中精力销毁和隐藏麦克阿瑟总部的所有重要官方记录,这些记录可能导致天皇卷入战争罪行。

NARR: As he approached the Embassy to meet MacArthur, Hirohito did not know how much the General knew of his involvement in the war.

他不知道麦克阿瑟是否知道他本可以阻止处决被俘的美国飞行员。他不知道麦克阿瑟是否知道他已获悉神风特攻队对美国船只的每一次袭击,并赞扬了飞行员。

The god emperor had no inkling of his fate or that of his throne as he made the unprecedented move to call upon his conqueror.

当神帝做出史无前例的举动来召唤他的征服者时,他对自己的命运和王位一无所知。

FAUBIAN BOWERS, Aide to MacArthur: MacArthur came toward to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you are very welcome." And swept towards him and shook his hand and the Emperor's hand was shaking.

There is MacArthur in an open shirt, as the Japanese press always says, "no necktie".

麦克阿瑟穿着敞开的衬衫,正如日本媒体总是说的“不打领带”。

There is, there is MacArthur with no necktie and towering over this little man, who is the larger, allegedly larger than life symbol of the Japanese Empire and the descendant of the Sun Goddess looking meek and small.

麦克阿瑟没有打领带,身材高大,比这个小个子男人还要高大,据说这个小个子男人是大日本帝国的象征,也是太阳女神的后裔,看上去温顺而渺小。

DOWER: So, on one side, this is the great symbol for the Japanese that the Emperor is no longer the supreme power in the land.

道尔:因此,一方面,这对日本人来说是一个伟大的象征,即天皇不再是这片土地上的最高权力。

But, the other side of the picture is much more interesting.

但是,图片的另一面更有趣。

And that is I'm standing by the Emperor.

那就是我站在皇帝一边。

RICHARD FINN, Historian: I: would not want to say that five star General of the Army Douglas MacArthur told a prevarication.

历史学家理查德·芬恩:我:不想说五星级陆军将军道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟搪塞了。

Maybe we could say he elaborated on the truth.

也许我们可以说他阐述了真相。

I don't think the Emperor said that I'm responsible and I accept the full blame for all that happened.

我不认为皇帝说我有责任,我对所发生的一切承担全部责任。

I think MacArthur felt it was a nice, it would have been nice if the Emperor did say it, and it would be very nice for the outside world to think that he said it.

我认为麦克阿瑟觉得这很好,如果皇帝真的说了这句话那就太好了,而且让外界认为他说过这句话也很好。

And so MacArthur put those words into his mouth.

于是麦克阿瑟就把这句话放进了嘴里。

DOWER: In fact, years later it was discovered that the Emperor's own interpreter had kept his account of the interview, and MacArthur does all the talking, and tells him how he knows how he's fought for peace, and how war is a terrible thing, and how you know, he respects the Emperor.

道尔:事实上,几年后人们发现皇帝自己的翻译保留了他的采访记录,麦克阿瑟负责所有的谈话,告诉他他如何知道他如何为和平而战,战争是多么可怕的事情,以及你如何知道他尊重皇帝。

And, the Emperor never makes any grand statement about accepting responsibility.

而且,皇帝从来没有发表过任何关于承担责任的宏大声明。

NARR: When the emperor departed, he was visibly more relaxed and said he hoped to see MacArthur many more times.

纳尔:当皇帝离开时,他明显更加放松,并说他希望能多次见到麦克阿瑟。

Imperial censors then moved to prevent publication of the photograph.

随后,帝国审查机构采取行动阻止这张照片的发表。

MacArthur overruled them.

麦克阿瑟否决了他们的决定。

"As nothing else could" a Japanese observer noted, this convinced a shocked nation "that Japan was truly beaten." MacArthur then announced a program of sweeping reforms -- implementing policies from Washington, initiating others, taking credit for them all.

一位日本观察家指出,“没有其他办法可以做到这一点”,这让震惊的全国人民相信“日本确实被打败了”。麦克阿瑟随后宣布了一项全面改革计划——执行华盛顿的政策,发起其他政策,并为所有这些政策赢得荣誉。

He abolished the secret police and insisted the press be free -- but not to criticize him.

他废除了秘密警察,并坚持新闻自由,但不是为了批评他。

日本保守派政府抱怨他正在让这个国家变得红色。

The Supreme Commander was in control -- but not as much as he thought.

最高指挥官掌控一切——但并不像他想象的那么严重。

DOWER: What happens a few months after this is an extraordinarily subtle choreography in which the imperial court begins to invite SCAP officials -- top military and civilian people in the Occupation Command-- to the Imperial grounds to partake in Imperial activities.

道尔:几个月后发生的事情是一个极其微妙的安排,帝国朝廷开始邀请 SCAP 官员——占领司令部的高级军事人员和文职人员——到帝国境内参加帝国活动。

And the one that the military men, the American military men, are so fascinated by is the Imperial duck hunt.

而让军人、美国军人如此着迷的一项活动就是皇家猎鸭活动。

CANADA: I was handed this huge net that was bigger than I was and I was lead over to a water filled channel where ducks were swimming, and I was told that I should reach in and scoop them up and that was the whole idea of the game.

加拿大:有人递给我这张比我还大的网,我被带到一个充满水的通道,那里有鸭子在游泳,我被告知我应该伸手把它们捞起来,这就是游戏的全部想法。

So I thought that was wonderful.

所以我觉得那太好了。

I had never heard of anything like this before, and it was absolutely grand to be able to do it.

我以前从未听说过这样的事情,能够做到这一点绝对是伟大的。

DOWER: So there are all these top brass are running around waving their butterfly nets and getting Imperial ducks, and there's no greater royalists in Japan than the Americans.

道尔:所有这些高层官员都在挥舞着他们的蝴蝶网,四处寻找皇家鸭子,而在日本,没有比美国人更伟大的保皇派了。

They love this proximity to the throne.

他们喜欢这种与王位的接近。

And in this way they're kind of brought in to this, this wonderful, gentle tradition.

通过这种方式,他们就融入了这个美妙而温和的传统。

And it's brilliant, it's absolutely brilliant on the part of the Japanese side, to say, here's what we are, here's the court and here's what we really are -- a gentle people.

日本方面说,这就是我们,这就是法庭,这就是我们真正的样子——温柔的人民,这真是太棒了,这绝对是太棒了。

It's like the chrysanthemum and the sword, we're really the chrysanthemum.

就像菊花和剑一样,我们确实是菊花。

The sword, that wasn't part of us.

剑,那不是我们的一部分。

NARR: While the palace courted MacArthur's entourage, he was working to ensure the emperor's survival before the formation of an allied commission that might urge his indictment as a war criminal.

纳尔:虽然皇宫向麦克阿瑟的随从们示好,但麦克阿瑟正在努力确保皇帝的生存,然后组建一个盟军委员会,该委员会可能会敦促将他作为战犯起诉。

In January, 1946, he wired Eisenhower, then Army Chief of Staff, that after "as complete a research as was possible." He could find no evidence the emperor was responsible for the war.

1946 年 1 月,他给时任陆军参谋长艾森豪威尔发电报,表示经过“尽可能完整的研究”。他找不到任何证据表明皇帝对这场战争负有责任。

YOSHIDA (VO translator): The cable said the material which could prove the Emperor's responsibility for the war could not be found and included the warning that if the Emperor was to be indicted, the country will be in chaos.

吉田(旁白翻译):电报说,无法找到能够证明天皇对战争负有责任的材料,并警告称,如果天皇被起诉,国家将陷入混乱。

Except, there are absolutely no records of MacArthur seriously searching for or gathering any material relating to the Emperor and his war responsibilities.

除此之外,绝对没有麦克阿瑟认真寻找或收集任何与皇帝及其战争责任有关的材料的记录。

NARR: MacArthur ordered his staff to draft a constitution in one week.

When it was presented to foreign minister Yoshida Shigeru and the cabinet, they were stunned to discover the Emperor had less power than a British monarch.

It would help him a lot if you accepted the basic principles of this constitutional draft.

NARR: MacArthur presented another shocker.

纳尔:麦克阿瑟又提出了一个令人震惊的问题。

One of his earliest acts as Supreme Commander had been to disarm Japan.

作为最高统帅,他最早采取的行动之一就是解除日本的武装。

He now demanded a clause in the constitution that would prevent Japan from ever waging war again.

他现在要求在宪法中加入一项条款,防止日本再次发动战争。

DOWER: Without MacArthur, there would never have been a line in the constitution that says Japan you know, outlaws war and the rights of belligerency of the state.

道尔:如果没有麦克阿瑟,宪法中就不会出现这样一行字:日本禁止战争和国家交战权。

These kind of things came from him and it's a quite a remarkable grand accomplishment because here is a man who has given his life to war, who comes in and says to them war is horrendous, we cannot do it anymore and you Japanese have the opportunity to be a pacifist state.

这些事情都来自他,这是一个相当了不起的伟大成就,因为这是一个将自己的生命献给战争的人,他进来对他们说战争是可怕的,我们不能再这样做了,你们日本人有机会成为一个和平主义国家。

1948 年审判结束时,宫廷成员知道王位已经稳固,希望裕仁通过退位来承担他对战争的责任。

DOWER: MacArthur said, "No, don't abdicate." And, as a result of this, from the Japanese perspective, you have a man who becomes America's symbol of democracy, who is totally sanitized by the Americans and by MacArthur, in particular, from not even expressing real responsibility for decisions, but moral responsibility for the horrors that took place in his name.

道尔:麦克阿瑟说:“不,不要退位。”因此,从日本人的角度来看,这个人成为了美国民主的象征,他被美国人、特别是麦克阿瑟彻底净化了,因为他甚至没有表达对决策的真正责任,而是对以他的名义发生的恐怖事件承担道德责任。

And, I think that that poisoned the thinking about responsibility in general, in Japan, to the present day.

加拿大:我们一群人坐在大使馆周围,宣布了这一消息。

All our lives as we know it had just ended, and the overall atmosphere was one of stunned silence for the longest period of time, and I think the General must have summoned up every bit of stoicism that he possessed because his, he didn't react at all.

你有什么意见吗?”艾森豪威尔露出了一个奇怪的微笑,然后他说:“好吧,你知道,当你穿上制服时,你就对自己的言行施加了一定的限制。” 纳尔:在东京,天皇最后一次拜访了麦克阿瑟。
