The passage describes significant events from World War II, particularly the early stages of the conflict in 1940, with the Nazi advance and the Blitz on London. Here’s the translated passage with historical verification:
Translation: "In 1940, World War II broke out in full scale, and Nazi Germany was gaining momentum. In May, Western Europe fell, and the Allied forces retreated to Dunkirk. On September 7, Hitler dispatched over 1,300 planes to indiscriminately bomb London. In a single night, 300 tons of explosives rained down, turning London into a living hell."
Historical Verification:
-
1940 and Nazi Momentum:
- This aligns with historical facts. By 1940, Nazi Germany had already conquered Poland (1939) and was advancing rapidly across Europe.
-
Western Europe Falls in May 1940:
- In May 1940, Germany launched a successful campaign through Western Europe. Belgium, the Netherlands, and France fell quickly to German forces. The Battle of France concluded in June 1940.
-
Allied Retreat to Dunkirk:
- The Dunkirk evacuation (Operation Dynamo) occurred from May 26 to June 4, 1940. Over 330,000 Allied troops were evacuated from Dunkirk, France, as German forces closed in. This was a critical event of the war.
-
Blitz on London (September 7, 1940):
- This is correct. On September 7, 1940, the Blitz (German bombing campaign against the United Kingdom) began with a large-scale attack on London. More than 1,300 German aircraft bombed the city that night, and approximately 300 tons of bombs were dropped.
-
Destruction in London:
- The Blitz caused immense destruction. The initial raid on September 7 left parts of London devastated, with fires breaking out across the city and significant civilian casualties. The bombing campaign continued until May 1941.
Conclusion:
The historical details in the passage are accurate and align with key events from 1940, especially concerning the Dunkirk evacuation and the start of the Blitz on London.

Correct, in 1940, the United States was not yet part of the Allied forces, as the U.S. did not enter World War II until after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
At that time, the primary members of the Allied forces were:
- United Kingdom (Britain) - Led by Prime Minister Winston Churchill from May 1940.
- France - Although France was largely defeated by June 1940, the French government and military played an important role until then. After the fall, the Free French Forces, led by General Charles de Gaulle, continued the fight.
- Soviet Union - The Soviet Union was not yet part of the Allies in 1940. It joined after Nazi Germany invaded in June 1941 (Operation Barbarossa).
- British Commonwealth Nations - Countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and South Africa were part of the British Commonwealth and fought alongside the UK.
In 1940, Britain and France carried out most of the fighting in Western Europe, with the evacuation at Dunkirk being a pivotal moment as British and French forces retreated from the advancing Germans. Later, more countries would join the Allies as the war expanded globally.
当世间只允许一种美存在，那它一定是丑
有一道非常著名的辩题：如果卢浮宫着火了，有一只猫和一幅达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》真品，只能救一个，你会救谁？
这群出版人面临着艰难的抉择——在一个连安全和食物都没有保障的时代，还会有人在乎艺术吗？为了留存艺术品的影像去冒生命危险，真的值得吗？
二战结束后，《蒙娜丽莎》从秘密收藏点返回法国卢浮宫
难道，除了绝望和自嘲，我们在审美上就真的无能为力吗？当然不是。
文艺复兴是“美”的胜利，是用文学、艺术和思想的伟大创造让“美”挣脱出黑暗的牢笼，在这些大师画作和雕塑中跳动的灵魂，是无论专制、工业还是媚俗都难以遮蔽的，人类共通的对美的追求与向往。
