1941年12月8日凌晨,日本不宣而战,偷袭美国海军基地珍珠港的第二天,美国著名记者,远东最大的英文报纸《密勒氏评论报》主编鲍威尔,在他上海的寓所里,被几声震耳欲聋的爆炸声所惊醒。他亲眼目睹了自“八一三”抗战以来的上海孤岛的陷落。用他自己的话来说,曾“决定呆在这里看完这场戏”,但似乎代价惨重,他因受到日本宪兵的迫害而导致终身残废。最后于1942年美日交换战俘时得以返美。抗战胜利后,他作为一个历史的见证人,将自己的所见所闻翔实地写进了回忆录《我在中国的二十五年》一书中,本文就是编译自其中一些章节。
On the very second day of December 8, 1941, the day after Japan declared itself a war and attacked the Pearl Harbor of the U.S. naval base, Powell, the famous American reporter and chief editor of the Miller Review Newspaper in the Far East, , Was awakened by several deafening explosions. He witnessed the fall of Shanghai’s isolated island since the “August 13” War. In his own words, “decided to stay here to watch the show,” but seemed costly, and he was crippled by the persecution of the Japanese military police. Finally, it returned to the United States when the United States and Japan exchanged POWs in 1942. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he, as a witness of history, carefully wrote what he saw and heard in his memoirs, “My Twenty-Five Years in China,” which is compiled from some of the chapters.
