  America’s Worst Surprise

  December 7, 1941 was one of the worst days in Americanhistory. Nearly all

  Americans who are old enough to rememberthat day can still remember what they

  were doing at themoment they heard “the news”. The news was that Americahad been

  attacked!

  Shortly before 2:00 P.M., a radio dispatch came intoWashington from

  Honolulu, Hawaii. “Air Raid, Pearl Harbor— Thisis no drill.” Japanese planes had

  begun an attack on the largestAmerican military base in the Pacific. They first

  destroyed planes on the ground. Then theybombed the ships in the harbor.

  No one had expected the attack. So no one was prepared for it. And it did

  not take long forJapanese to do their damage. When the smoke cleared, the Navy

  counted its losses. Eighteenships had been sunk or badly damaged. Nearly 150

  planes had been destroyed. More than 2,400Americans had been killed and more

  than 1,200 wounded.

  Useful Words and Expressions:

  1. dispatch 派遣,急件

  2. air raid 空袭

  3. drill 军事训练,操练
