还有十五秒
15 seconds to go!
我记得最危险的部分就是起飞

所有机上人员，我肯定大家的感受都是相同的
Everyone on board,l’m sure,felt the same way l did,
但时间却好像过得特别慢
And it seemed like it took an inordinate amount of time.
我想令机身贴在地面
l wanted to hold the airplane on the ground,
好让我更轻易控制整架战机
to get all the air flight over the tail that l could get.
我在地面时间比鲍勃长

他过来拉操纵杆，想拉回去…
He reached for the yoke,tried to pull it back to…
拉啊，现在就拉

他立刻放手
and he pulled back right quick.
但它最终还是起飞了

我们没有发生意外，顺利升空

Very cramped quarters,
要蹲下来才能走到核弹尾部

帕森斯就在尾翼的位置装配
and that’s the position that Parsons took,is to work inside these fins.
他们都知道整个过程不容出错

除去炮闩……注入火♥药♥

帕森斯将会拿出火♥药♥，大概有一条长面包的大小

每次放一些进去
He would put those in there,one at a time,
然后将炮闩移位

旋转上锁

爬上原♥子♥弹♥的位置

并拔下三个绿色插头
and remove these three green plugs,
换上三个武装插头
and replace them with three arming plugs,
用以熔接电路，引爆核弹
which enabled the fusing circuit to fire the weapon,causing it to detonate.
这次行动，我最紧张的时候
And the only time l felt really nervous on this mission,
就是装红色插头这一刻

原♥子♥弹♥现在已武装完毕，被激活了
The bomb was now armed and live.
完成装配后，我松了一口气
After they were in place,l breathed a sigh of relief,
因为到目前为止，一切都很顺利
because nothing had happened at this point in time.
而我因为负责更换这些插头
Evidently,with the action of replacing these plugs,or switching these plugs,
就成了最后一个触碰核弹的人
