互联网档案馆公布9-11影像史料

For many in New York and Washington, Sept. 11, 2001, was a personal experience, an attack on their cities. Most everywhere else in the world, it was a television event.
对很多纽约人和华盛顿人来说， 9．11事件是一种亲身经历，是他们所在城市遭遇的恐怖袭击。而对世界上其它地区的大多数人来说，这只是电视上看到的一起事件。

TV's commemoration as the 10th anniversary approaches on Sunday puts that day in many different contexts. There is one place, however, for people to see the Sept. 11 attacks and the week after as they unfolded, without any filters.
本周日是9．11恐怖袭击十周年，电视播放的纪念报道对这起事件进行了不同的解读。但人们可以在“互联网档案馆”全面了解9．11袭击和之后一周的情景，而且，“不加码”。

The Internet Archive, a California-based organization that collects audio, moving images and Web pages for historical purposes, has put together a television news archive of that day's coverage.
“互联网档案馆”近日整理出9．11当天的电视新闻报道资料。该机构总部位于加州，以记录历史为目的，搜集相关音视频及网页资料。

More than 20 channels were recorded with more than 3,000 hours of television. Besides major U.S. networks like ABC, CBS, cnn and NBC, the Internet Archive has posted online TV recordings from Moscow, Paris, London, Baghdad, Tokyo, Ottawa and elsewhere.
该机构记录了20多个频道的9．11电视报道，时长超过三千小时。除了美国各大新闻机构，如美国广播公司、哥伦比亚广播公司、美国有线新闻网、以及国家广播公司等，“互联网档案馆”还上传了来自莫斯科、巴黎、伦敦、巴格达、东京、渥太华等地的电视报道。

The material is valuable to researchers, but the Internet Archive wanted to make it easy to use so the general public can go back and see what that day was like, said Brewster Kahle, the organization's director.
该机构的主管布鲁斯特．卡利表示，这些资料对研究人员来说价值很高，但“互联网档案馆”想让大家都能便捷地看到，这样普通公众就能回顾这起恐怖袭击事件。

"It is one of the top four or five events that have happened on television," Kahle said. "You can think of putting a man on the moon, the Watergate hearings, the Kennedy assassination. I'm hopeful that people will come to this and make their own decisions about how they want to think about it, as opposed to politicians who have been pushing and pulling the event for years."
卡利说：“9．11恐怖袭击事件在电视报道大事排行榜上能排到前四、五位，和人类登月、水门事件、肯尼迪遇刺这些事情差不多。我希望人们来看看这段历史，形成自己的看法，并且有异于那些对这起事件长年争论不休的政客。”

The archive begins at 8 a.m. ET, or 46 minutes before American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
这些档案将于美国东部时间9月11日早8点开放。2001年9月11日8点46分，美航11号航班撞向世贸大厦北塔。
