In a way, D-Day sums up for us the whole of World War II. It was the frontal clash of two ideas, a collision between the possibility of human freedom and its nullification.
Even now, we are still learning what to make of it, still trying to know whether we are dwarfed by the scale of such an effort or whether what happened that day still enlarges us. It certainly enlarges the veterans of Normandy and their friends who died in every zone of that war.
It’s tempting to politicize the memory of a day so full of personal and national honor, too easy to allude to the wars of our times as if they naturally mirrored World War II. The ironic starkness of the forces that met on the beaches of Normandy makes that temptation all the greater. But beyond the resemblance of young soldiers dying in wars 60 years apartl, there is no analogy, and that is something we must remember today as well. D-Day was the result of broad international accord. By D-Day, Europe had been at war—total war—for nearly five years, at profound cost to its civilian population.
American civilians, in turn, had willingly made enormous material sacrifices to sustain the war effort. There was no pretense that ordinary life would go on uninterrupted and no assumption that America could go it alone.
选项
答案
即便在今天,我们仍然在认识它的意义,仍然在寻找答案,我们到底是因那宏大的战争场景显得矮小了,还是因此而变得高大。毫无疑问,那一天肯定使参与诺曼底登陆的退役军人和他们在各个战区中牺牲的战友们变得高大。 今天我们回忆这一天,很容易将其政治化,因为那一天充满了个人的光荣和国家的荣耀,我们很容易将它和今天的战争联系起来,仿佛我们今天进行的战争自然可以和二战同日而语。在诺曼底海滩上交锋的两股势力象征着壁垒分明的善恶对峙,这就更诱人想做这种联想。但是,60年后正在进行的战争和二战除了年轻的战士正在牺牲之外,并没有任何相似之处。这一点我们今天也必须记住。诺曼底登陆是国际广泛合作的结果。截至登陆日,欧洲早已战火纷飞,五年的战争使得平民生灵涂炭。
