14、识到这种说法法并非总是正正确的：在具具体操作时，人人们根据某种种曲线读出系系统的温度，这这种曲线描绘绘了该系统中中粒子具有某某些动能的几几率。在正常常情况下，大大多数粒子的的动能为平均均动能或接近近平均动能，只只有少数粒子子以较高动能能运动。德国国慕尼黑市的的路德维希马克西米兰兰大学（Luudwig Maximmiliann Univversitty in Municch, Geermanyy）的物理学学家尤里奇施奈达（UUlrichh Schnneiderr）解释说：从理论上说说，如果这种种状况逆转，即即如果较多粒粒子的动能不不是较低而是是较高，这一一曲线就会翻翻转，这会改改变绝对温度度的符

For instance, Rosch and his colleagues have calculated that whereas clouds of atoms would normally be pulled downwards by gravity, if part of the cloud is at a negat
25、ive absolute temperature, some atoms will move upwards, apparently defying gravity.这种实验方法是德国科隆大学（University of Cologne in Germany）的理论物理学家阿齐姆洛什（Achim Rosch）建议施奈达和他的团队使用的；前者认为，一旦这样的系统建成，它们将会有异乎寻常的表现方式。例如，洛什与他的同事们所进行的计算说明，尽管原子云通常会受重力作用向下运动，但如果云的一部份处于负绝对温度下，有些原子就会明显地对抗引力向上运动。Another peculiarity of the s
26、ub-absolute-zero gas is that it mimics dark energy, the mysterious force that pushes the Universe to expand at an ever-faster rate against the inward pull of gravity. Schneider notes that the attractive atoms in the gas produced by the team also want to collapse inwards, but do not because the negat
27、ive absolute temperature stabilises them. “Its interesting that this weird feature pops up in the Universe and also in the lab,” he says. “This may be something that cosmologists should look at more closely.”温度在绝对零度以下的气体的另一个奇异现象是它对“暗能量”的模仿；后者是推动宇宙对抗向心引力，并以日益增加的速率向外膨胀的神秘力量。施奈达强调，在该研究小组制造的气体中，互相吸引的原子也
28、有向内坍塌的倾向，但负绝对温度对其稳定作用使这种情况没有发生。“有趣的是，这一出现在宇宙中的奇异特点也出现在实验室中，”他如是说。“这或许是宇宙学家应该更仔细地研究的现象。”This article is reproduced with permission from the magazine Nature.

34、在战场上上赢得了广泛泛尊重。肯尼尼迪还赞赏道道：德国国防防军具备令人人难以置信的的恢复能力和和反击能力；德军的伞兵兵极为优秀；德意志帝国国的军人打起起仗来出乎意意料地顽强。How then did Germany come to lose the war? The British-born historian strives to avoid reductionism. Unlike others, he says, he does not claim that the Allies victory can be explained solely by brute force or by a
35、wonder weapon or by some magical decrypting system. There were multiple factors. Some have been exaggerated. Bletchley Park was “certainly far less important” than most of the popular literature about the codebreakers suggests. Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harriss determination not to target the enemys oil,
36、transport and electricity grids but to blast cities instead was, he writes, a “weird panacea”.那么，为什么德国还是输掉了这场战争？在阐述这个问题时，肯尼迪这位生于英国的历史学家竭力避免了还原论【注3】。和别人不同，他不认为可以把同盟国的胜利单纯地归功于武力、新型兵器或是什么神奇的解码系统。这场胜利存在诸多因素，而有些因素被人为夸大了。在很多关于解码人员的通俗文学中，布莱切利园【注4】对同盟国在二战中的胜利起到了重要作用，“这显然言过其实了”。肯尼迪写道，阿瑟“轰炸机”哈里斯【注5】当年决定不去攻击敌军
37、的石油线路、运输系统和电网，而是去轰炸各大城市这是一种“兵行诡道的万能战术”。Against this, Mr Kennedy argues, some reasons for the Allies success deserve much greater emphasis. One of them, the stupendous might of Americas military-industrial complex, was recognised at last in Arthur Hermans “Freedoms Forge”, reviewed here last year. Mr
38、 Kennedy celebrates another crucial component: the role of engineers. What they invented, improvised and improved had, by 1943, begun to turn the tide against Germany and Japan.相反，肯尼迪认为，有些因素让同盟国取得了胜利，却远未得到足够的重视。其一就是美国的军事工业复合体所发挥出的惊人威力事隔多年之后，这种威力终于在阿瑟赫尔曼的锻造自由的熔炉一书中得到了认可（去年本报曾经刊载过这部作品的书评）。肯尼迪赞颂了另一个至关重
39、要的胜利因素：那就是工程师们在二战中所扮演的角色。到1943年为止，他们的工作成果已经开始为同盟国扭转战局了，德国和日本的优势不复存在。By then long-range B-24 Liberator bombers protected convoys of merchant ships crossing the Atlantic; Hedgehog grenades destroyed Grand Admiral Karl Dnitzs U-boats; B-17 Flying Fortress bombers flew from airfields in England deep int
40、o Germany and drove the Japanese back in the Pacific; T-34 tanks led the blood-soaked Soviet counter-attack on the Eastern Front; Mustang fighter planes decimated Germanys flying aces.彼时彼刻， B-24“解放者”远程轰炸机保护着横跨大西洋的商船队伍；“刺猬弹”炸毁了德国海军元帅卡尔邓尼兹的 U 型潜艇；B-17“空中堡垒”轰炸机从英格兰的机场起飞，深入德国境内，并在太平洋战区击退了日军；苏军在东方战线发动了浴血
41、反攻，而前方开路的正是一架架 T-34 坦克；德军的制空王牌也被“野马”战斗机尽数歼灭【注6】。Mr Kennedy also rescues the engineers of the US Navy Construction Battalions from relative obscurity. Popularly known as the “Seabees”, these were the units that built the bases, the installations, the assembly points and the roads that carried the All

Yet, as he rightly complains, historians of grand campaigns all too often take their work for granted and assume that troops, fleets and air squadrons can be moved long dis
43、tances by the stroke of a pen on a large map.肯尼迪还让美国海军建设营的工程师从幕后走到了台前。这些人被公众称为“海蜂”【注7】，负责建造基地、集合点，并为同盟国军队铺设进军道路。肯尼迪坚称工程师在二战的军事胜利中功不可没，而“海蜂”取得的成就也充分证明了这一点。然而，肯尼迪也抱怨道（这种抱怨合情合理）：研究大型战争的历史学家往往不重视工程师的工作，认为只要在作战地图上大笔一挥，海陆空三军就能深入敌方腹地。Seabee statistics are still amazing. In the Pacific alone they built, in
44、the midst of war, 111 major airstrips and 441 piers, tanks for the storage of 100m gallons of fuel, housing for 1.5m men and hospitals for 70,000 patients. The famous photograph of General Douglas MacArthur (pictured) fulfilling his “I shall return” promise to the Philippines was possible only after
45、 skilful Seabees had managed the pontoon bridges and causeway units that brought the army ashorealong with the photographers, of course.今天看来，关于“海蜂”的统计数据仍然令人惊讶。在二战期间，他们仅在太平洋战区就铺设了111条大型飞机跑道、搭建了441个码头、制造了可贮存一亿加仑燃料的油桶、修建了可居住150万人的营房以及可接纳7万名病人的多家医院。上将道格拉斯麦克阿瑟（如图）离开菲律宾群岛时曾经承诺：“我还会回来的”。而如果没有技术高超的“海蜂”来搭筑浮桥
46、、修建堤道的话，美军也就无法登岸了，麦克阿瑟的诺言也将无法实现当然，假如没有“海蜂”，就连拍下这张著名照片的摄影记者都将无法到场。 Mr Kennedys best-known book is “The Rise and Fall of Great Powers” (1987) and his knowledge of earlier conflicts adds depth and colour to his history of the middle years of the war. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, the Duke of Marl
47、borough, Napoleon, William Tecumseh Sherman and others march across the pages as Mr Kennedy compares and contrasts their actions with those of their counterparts in 1943-44. And he is able to cite several instances of British-American-Soviet bickering to sustain the Duke of Wellingtons grumble that having enemies is nothing like as bad as having allies.肯尼迪最为知名的作品当数1987年出版的大国的兴衰。他研究过历史上的军事冲突，这一点也使他笔下的二战中期历史颇具深度、姿彩纷呈。肯尼迪把1943到1944年间的二战将领和历史上的将领放在一起，比较他们的军事行动；读者在字里行间仿佛看到了亚历山大大帝、尤利乌斯凯撒、马尔堡公爵、拿破仑、威廉特库姆塞舍曼这些历史名将当
