Fox News:纪念诺曼底登陆75周年(2)

2019-06-12来源:和谐英语

It was a beautiful fall at 128 miles an hour. It was a little cold too. Was it? Yes. And talk to me about the first time that you made that jump and did you think about that at all as you were heading up there tonight -- today? This is one of the closures for that jump because everything was for the most part repeated except this was a day light jump and the Normandy jump in 1944 was a night time jump and I didn't know where I was. If I knew where I was here, and then we had the American flag flying below us, I could not see it, but that probably was very beautiful. I think it was the maximum size flight you could possibly carry that would be safe. That's incredible. There are so many people here watching you jump today. What do you think about the deep interest in the 75th anniversary of Normandy? What does it mean to you that so many people are here to honor you and so many people are grateful to you for the sacrifice that you and so many others made? Well, I evidently represent the United States coming here and in a way we brought -- this might be the conclusion for me or a closure of all of the fame, shame and blame that we all gathered together, you know? 

And it's fantastic that so many people -- I can understand why the attitude of Hollywood people surrounded by millions of people like this. And I really appreciate all their love and their kindness and their heart felt emotions. So, I'm trying to match that and I will have a little bit of time to do it because there've been so much excitement and so many things going on so quickly. I am left in suspended animation. I don't want to have a catatonic seizure. Tom, we are gonna let you go. I want to thank you so much and congratulations on your jump. This is the 7th jump that have you done I think in the last seven years, right? Yes, yes, that's right, seven. Congratulations to you and thank you so much for all that you have done for our country. Well, you're quite welcome. I'm gonna keep on going as long as I'm -- Keep on going. Yes. Thank you Tom. I am not a dead man walking yet. Absolutely. Far from it. Far from it. Thank you, Tom. Great to see you again. Many thanks. Take care. Wow, we should all be as with it and athletic as Tom Rice is at age 97. I think he is gonna keep going and going as he says.
