Lesson 2Hiroshima---the “Liveliest” City in JapanContentsBackground Information Video and Reading Materials Related Detailed Study Rhetorical Devices Exercise on Vocabulary Check on UnderstandingHiroshima is a seaport, capital of Hiroshima prefecture in southwest Japan.On Aug. 6, 1945, Hiroshima was the first city to be struck by an atomic bomb, dropped by the U.S. air force.Background information*Why was the bomb dropped on Hiroshima?In the US, with the atomic bomb development still underway, it was decided in September 1944 to use the bomb against Japan. The United States wanted to Force Japan's surrender as quickly as possible to minimize American casualties. In addition, the United States needed to use the atomic bomb against Japan before the Soviet Union entered the war to establish US dominance after the war. Further, the Americans wanted to use the world's first atomic bomb for an actual attack and observe its effect. For these reasons, those in charge were in a hurry. Shortly after successfully testing history's first atomic explosion on July 16, 1945, the order to drop the atomic bomb was issued on July 25. Based on this order, a field operation order dated August 2 called for the attack to take place on August 6, with Hiroshima to be the primary target.It is thought that Hiroshima was selected for the following reasons: 1.The size and topography of the city made it suitable for testing the destructive capabilities of the atomic bomb, and for confirming the destructive effects later. 2. There was a concentration of military troops, installations, and factories in Hiroshima that had been spared previous bombing.Video RelatedComments on Bombing in Japan.wmvJuly 3 - Japanese Defense Minister, Fumio Kyuma, has sparked public outrage by saying that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was inevitable and the only way of ending World War II. Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, is now being forced to reprimand his defense minister. The Kyodo News agency reported that Defense Minister, Fumio Kyuma, said in a speech, that the bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused great suffering in the city, but said he did not resent the US, because the bomb prevented the Soviet Union from entering the war with Japan. The comments have offended the survivors.Kyuma apologized, but opposition lawmakers called for his resignation. The Prime Minister has urged Kyuma to "take strict care with his remarks," but said the minister is not expected to resign. The remarks have dampened Abe as his cabinet's support rate has fallen below the critical 30 percent level in a poll weeks before an upper house election. This is the first time a Japanese Prime Minister's support rate had fallen this low, since 2001. And, it comes at a time when government mismanagement of pension records and voter concern about political corruption has left Abe struggling to win back support.Reading Materials RelatedHiroshema_by_Chomsky_文档.docDetailed StudyPart 1 From the railway station to the City Hall The author’s feeling when he visitedthe city: a sense of excitement, guilt, sympathy… The Japanese crowd: normal Taxi driver: polite, hospitable, patient, afraid of losing face Usher kimono---Miniskirt little old Japanese houses------concreteskyscrapersPart 2 Interview anti-climax (高潮突降法):surprise, comic, humorous,satire effect everyone’s expectation---mayor’s speech 2 schools: preserve---demolish; impact---hidePart 3 Hospital great suffering of the victimsslip [Ipr, Ip] move smoothly and easily in a particular direction 沿某方向顺畅而容易地移动: The ship slipped through the water. 船在水上平稳地航行. * I slipped along the bench next to her. 我沿长?一下子滑到她的旁 边. * This wine slips down easily, ie is pleasant to drink. 这种葡萄酒很好喝.have, etc a lump in one's/the throat (idm习语) feel pressure in the throat as a result of strong emotion caused by love, sadness, etc 喉咙哽住, 哽咽(因激动所 致).a lump in/to sb's throat: a feeling that you want to cryThere was a lump in her throat as she gazed at the child.I stood there with a lump in my throat and tried to fight back tears.preoccupy /ˌpriːˈɒk.jʊ.paɪ [T] to be the main thought in someone's mind, causing other things to be forgotten: Economic concerns are preoccupying the voters in this electionpreoccupied adj. thinking about something a lot, with result that you do not pay attention to other things全神贯 注的;入神的 She's been very preoccupied recently because her mother has been very ill.

An account by Masatada Asaeda-- 3rd Grade Student in 1945
• When we were playing in the school ground, an airplane came, but we kept on playing, only saying "Why did they give the all-clear?" All of a sudden, there was something like lightening and I covered my face with my hands. When I opened my eyes and looked around, it was dark and I couldn't see anything. While I was feeling around in the darkness, it became light. I was thinking of going home, and I found that all the houses around me had been destroyed and fires were burning here and there. I started running home, crying and calling, "Mother! Mother!" But I couldn't tell where my house had been. I just went around this way and that, and then I heard my sister calling my name. I was shocked when I saw her, because she was stained with blood all over. I looked at myself; the skin of both my arms and feet had peeled away and was hanging off. I didn't know what all this meant, and I was frightened, so I burst into tears. Meanwhile, Mother had crawled out from the pile of tiles and dragged an overcoat and Father's cloak out of a trunk and wrapped us in them. We spent the night in Yasu Shrine in Gion. Because of their burns, everyone was crying for water all night. The next morning, we were taken by truck to a Buddhist temple in Kabe. That night, my sister died. How can I describe Mother‘s grief? How can I describe the horrible scenes I saw in the temple then? Who can imagine the miseries we went through except those who were there themselves? It is entirely beyond my power to put the terrible sight into words. Countless people suffering from burns and wounds, groaning with pain, their bodies covered with maggots(蛆), and dying in delirium(精神错 乱), one after another. It was hell on earth.

Lesson2 Hiroshima-the Liveliest City in Japan(Excerpts)

Hiroshima




The A-bomb destroyed almost everything within a radius of 6000 to 8000 feet (18302450 meters) and killed 71000+people. Many more people later died of injuries and the effects of radiation. Survivors are still dying of leukemia, pernicious anemia and other diseases induced by radiation. Almost 98% of the buildings were destroyed or severely damaged.
Hiroshima


After the war, the Japanese dedicated postwar Hiroshima to peace. The ruins of the Institute of Industrial Development, with its warped dome, were preserved as a symbol of the terror of destruction. Peace Park was built. A special hospital was set up. The city now is an important producer of iron and steel, motor vehicles, tractors, ships, machinery, sewing needles, paper, textiles, and food products.

第二课 Hiroshima - The Liveliest City in Japan

第二课广岛--日本“最有活力”的城市(节选)雅各•丹瓦“广岛到了!大家请下车!”当世界上最快的高速列车减速驶进广岛车站并渐渐停稳时,那位身着日本火车站站长制服的男人口中喊出的一定是这样的话。

我其实并没有听懂他在说些什么,一是因为他是用日语喊的,其次,则是因为我当时心情沉重,喉咙哽噎,忧思万缕,几乎顾不上去管那日本铁路官员说些什么。

踏上这块土地,呼吸着广岛的空气,对我来说这行动本身已是一套令人激动的经历,其意义远远超过我以往所进行的任何一次旅行或采访活动。

难道我不就是在犯罪现场吗?这儿的日本人看来倒没有我这样的忧伤情绪。

从车站外的人行道上看去,这儿的一切似乎都与日本其他城市没什么两样。

身着和嘏的小姑娘和上了年纪的太太与西装打扮的少年和妇女摩肩接豫;神情严肃的男人们对周围的人群似乎视而不见,只顾着相互交淡,并不停地点头弯腰,互致问候:“多么阿里伽多戈扎伊马嘶。

”还有人在使用杂货铺和烟草店门前挂着的小巧的红色电话通话。

“嗨!嗨!”出租汽车司机一看见旅客,就砰地打开车门,这样打着招呼。

“嗨”,或者某个发音近似“嗨”的什么词,意思是“对”或“是”。

“能送我到市政厅吗?”司机对着后视镜冲我一笑,又连声“嗨!”“嗨!”出租车穿过广岛市区狭窄的街巷全速奔驰,我们的身子随着司机手中方向盘的一次次急转而前俯后仰,东倒西歪。

与此同时,这座曾惨遭劫难的城市的高楼大厦则一座座地从我们身边飞掠而过。

正当我开始觉得路程太长时,汽车嘎地一声停了下来,司机下车去向警察问路。

就像东京的情形一样,广岛的出租车司机对他们所在的城市往往不太熟悉,但因为怕在外国人面前丢脸,却又从不肯承认这一点。

无论乘客指定的目的地在哪里,他们都毫不犹豫地应承下来,根本不考虑自己要花多长时间才能找到目的地。

这段小插曲后来终于结束了,我也就不知不觉地突然来到了宏伟的市政厅大楼前。

当我出示了市长应我的采访要求而发送的请柬后,市政厅接待人员向我深深地鞠了一躬,然后声调悠扬地长叹了一口气。

Unit 2 Hiroshima---the “Liveliest” City in Japan


Background Information
Atomic Bomb:
The explosion produces great amounts of heat, a shock wave and intense radiation. The region of the explosion becomes radioactively contaminated and radioactive products may be deposited elsewhere as fallout(辐射尘 ). Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. Survivors are still dying of leukaemia (白血病) , pernicious anaemia(恶性贫血 ) and other diseases induced by radiation. Almost 98% of the buildings were destroyed or severely damaged.
Main idea: Meeting
the mayor
Main idea: At the hospital.

Choice of Target --Hiroshima
• Some military camps were located nearby such as the headquarters of the Fifth Division and Field Marshal Hata's 2nd General Army Headquarters, which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan.
• Thermal radiation, which results from the extremely high temperatures created by an atomic explosion, causes serious burns on exposed parts of the body and may ignite fires over a wide radius.
• It is believed that more than 140,000 people died by the end of the year. The total number of people who have died due to the bomb is estimated to be 200,000.
• The city as a whole was highly susceptible to fire damage.
Effects of an Atomic Bomb
Explosion
• The devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted from three main types of effects: blast, thermal radiation, and nuclear radiation.
The damage:
• Destroying almost everything within a radius of 6,000 to 8,000 feet( 1.830-2,450 meters). Altogether an area of 13 sq. Ikm. (5 sq. mi.) was reduced to ashes and of the 76,000 buildings in the city 62.9% were destroyed and only 8% escaped damage (among them were earthquake-resistant buildings).
• Of these, only the blast effect is significant for chemical high explosives. The blast effect of an atomic bomb is similar to that of a conventional explosive but much more intense and far-reaching.
• Over 71,000 people were killed instantly. Many more later died of injuries and the effects of radiation. Survivors are still dying of leukemia (白血病), pernicious anemia (恶性贫血症), etc.
• Nuclear radiation, which results from the neutrons and gamma rays associated with fission, causes death and injury as a result of damage to living tissue.
