1. The Normandy invasion began with overnight parachute and glider landings, massive air attacks, naval bombardment. 诺曼底登陆开始于连夜的降落伞和滑翔机着陆、大规模的空袭、海军轰炸。
2. The worst of the bombardment—including the colossal impact that knocked loose the chunk that became our moon—was over. 最糟糕的轰炸——包括将大块物质撞击得脱离地球形成月球巨大碰撞——已经结束了。
3. Even if Earth's surface were not actually sterilized by this bombardment, it is unlikely that any but the most primitive life-forms could have survived. 即使地球表面并没有被这种轰炸所灭绝，但除了最原始的生命形式之外，几乎不可能有其他生命形式幸存下来。
4. We must imagine the early Earth as a mixture of rocky materials, metals, and trapped gases, subject to constant bombardment by smaller planetesimals and without much of an atmosphere. 我们必须想象早期的地球是岩石材料、金属和封闭气的混合物，受到较小的星子的持续轰击，没有多少大气。
5. The city came under heavy bombardment. 那座城市受到猛烈轰炸。
