二、听力原文

Passage 1
Many people enjoy secret codes. The harder the code, the more some people will try to figure it out. In wartime, codes are especially important. They help army send news about battles and the sizes of enemy forces. Neither side wants its codes broken by the other. One very important code was never broken. It was used during World War II by the Americans. It was a spoken code never written down. And it was developed and used by Navajo Indians. They were called “the Navajo code talkers” the Navajos created the code in their own language. Navajo is hard to learn. Only a few people know it. So it was pretty certain that the enemy would not be able to understand the cold talkers. In addition, the talkers used code words. They called a submarine an iron fish and a small bomb thrown by hand a potato. If they wanted to spell something, they used code words for letters of the alphabet. For instance, the letter A was ant or apple or eggs. The code talkers worked mostly in the islands in the Pacific. One or two would be assigned to a group of soldiers. They would send messages by field telephone to the code talker in the next group. And he would relay the information to his commander. The code talkers played an important part in several battles. They helped troops coordinate their movements and attacks. After the war, the US government honored them for what they had accomplished. Theirs was the most successful wartime code ever used.

【翻译】

许多人喜欢密码。

密码越难，他们就越想要破译出来。

战时，密码尤其重要。

军队利用密码发送战争和敌军消息。

双方都不希望自己的密码被对方破解。

二战期间，美国的一种密码从未被敌方破译。

这种密码由印第安部落纳瓦霍人开发和使用，没有书面形式，只是在纳瓦霍人之间口口相传。

这些人被称为纳瓦霍密码员，纳瓦霍密码以纳瓦霍人的方言为基础发展而来。

纳瓦霍语很难学，只有少数人知道。

所以可以肯定的是，敌人无法破解。

此外，他们还使用暗号。

他们把潜水艇叫做“铁鱼”，把用手榴弹叫做“土豆”。

如果他们想要说什么东西，就用字母来代替。

例如，字母A代表蚂蚁、苹果或斧头。

密码员主要在太平洋的岛屿上工作。

一组有一两个士兵。

他们将通过现场电话给下一组的密码员发送消息。

下一组的密码员会把情报传给指挥官。

密码员在在战争中起着重要作用。

他们帮助部队协调行动和攻击。

战后，美国政府对其密码表示自豪。

这是有史以来最成功的战时密码。
