Lesson 2Hiroshima---the “Liveliest” City in JapanContentsBackground Information Video and Reading Materials Related Detailed Study Rhetorical Devices Exercise on Vocabulary Check on UnderstandingHiroshima is a seaport, capital of Hiroshima prefecture in southwest Japan.On Aug. 6, 1945, Hiroshima was the first city to be struck by an atomic bomb, dropped by the U.S. air force.Background information*Why was the bomb dropped on Hiroshima?In the US, with the atomic bomb development still underway, it was decided in September 1944 to use the bomb against Japan. The United States wanted to Force Japan's surrender as quickly as possible to minimize American casualties. In addition, the United States needed to use the atomic bomb against Japan before the Soviet Union entered the war to establish US dominance after the war. Further, the Americans wanted to use the world's first atomic bomb for an actual attack and observe its effect. For these reasons, those in charge were in a hurry. Shortly after successfully testing history's first atomic explosion on July 16, 1945, the order to drop the atomic bomb was issued on July 25. Based on this order, a field operation order dated August 2 called for the attack to take place on August 6, with Hiroshima to be the primary target.It is thought that Hiroshima was selected for the following reasons: 1.The size and topography of the city made it suitable for testing the destructive capabilities of the atomic bomb, and for confirming the destructive effects later. 2. There was a concentration of military troops, installations, and factories in Hiroshima that had been spared previous bombing.Video RelatedComments on Bombing in Japan.wmvJuly 3 - Japanese Defense Minister, Fumio Kyuma, has sparked public outrage by saying that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was inevitable and the only way of ending World War II. Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, is now being forced to reprimand his defense minister. The Kyodo News agency reported that Defense Minister, Fumio Kyuma, said in a speech, that the bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused great suffering in the city, but said he did not resent the US, because the bomb prevented the Soviet Union from entering the war with Japan. The comments have offended the survivors.Kyuma apologized, but opposition lawmakers called for his resignation. The Prime Minister has urged Kyuma to "take strict care with his remarks," but said the minister is not expected to resign. The remarks have dampened Abe as his cabinet's support rate has fallen below the critical 30 percent level in a poll weeks before an upper house election. This is the first time a Japanese Prime Minister's support rate had fallen this low, since 2001. And, it comes at a time when government mismanagement of pension records and voter concern about political corruption has left Abe struggling to win back support.Reading Materials RelatedHiroshema_by_Chomsky_文档.docDetailed StudyPart 1 From the railway station to the City Hall The author’s feeling when he visitedthe city: a sense of excitement, guilt, sympathy… The Japanese crowd: normal Taxi driver: polite, hospitable, patient, afraid of losing face Usher kimono---Miniskirt little old Japanese houses------concreteskyscrapersPart 2 Interview anti-climax （高潮突降法）：surprise, comic, humorous,satire effect everyone’s expectation---mayor’s speech 2 schools: preserve---demolish; impact---hidePart 3 Hospital great suffering of the victimsslip [Ipr, Ip] move smoothly and easily in a particular direction 沿某方向顺畅而容易地移动: The ship slipped through the water. 船在水上平稳地航行. * I slipped along the bench next to her. 我沿长?一下子滑到她的旁 边. * This wine slips down easily, ie is pleasant to drink. 这种葡萄酒很好喝.have, etc a lump in one's/the throat (idm习语) feel pressure in the throat as a result of strong emotion caused by love, sadness, etc 喉咙哽住, 哽咽（因激动所 致）.a lump in/to sb's throat: a feeling that you want to cryThere was a lump in her throat as she gazed at the child.I stood there with a lump in my throat and tried to fight back tears.preoccupy /ˌpriːˈɒk.jʊ.paɪ [T] to be the main thought in someone's mind, causing other things to be forgotten: Economic concerns are preoccupying the voters in this electionpreoccupied adj. thinking about something a lot, with result that you do not pay attention to other things全神贯 注的；入神的 She's been very preoccupied recently because her mother has been very ill.

An account by Masatada Asaeda-- 3rd Grade Student in 1945
• When we were playing in the school ground, an airplane came, but we kept on playing, only saying "Why did they give the all-clear?" All of a sudden, there was something like lightening and I covered my face with my hands. When I opened my eyes and looked around, it was dark and I couldn't see anything. While I was feeling around in the darkness, it became light. I was thinking of going home, and I found that all the houses around me had been destroyed and fires were burning here and there. I started running home, crying and calling, "Mother! Mother!" But I couldn't tell where my house had been. I just went around this way and that, and then I heard my sister calling my name. I was shocked when I saw her, because she was stained with blood all over. I looked at myself; the skin of both my arms and feet had peeled away and was hanging off. I didn't know what all this meant, and I was frightened, so I burst into tears. Meanwhile, Mother had crawled out from the pile of tiles and dragged an overcoat and Father's cloak out of a trunk and wrapped us in them. We spent the night in Yasu Shrine in Gion. Because of their burns, everyone was crying for water all night. The next morning, we were taken by truck to a Buddhist temple in Kabe. That night, my sister died. How can I describe Mother‘s grief? How can I describe the horrible scenes I saw in the temple then? Who can imagine the miseries we went through except those who were there themselves? It is entirely beyond my power to put the terrible sight into words. Countless people suffering from burns and wounds, groaning with pain, their bodies covered with maggots（蛆）, and dying in delirium（精神错 乱）, one after another. It was hell on earth.
