1945年9月2日，星期日，位于东京湾，美国战舰密苏里号上。十一名高级日本政府和军事官员将出席。四周前的1945年8月6日和9日，原子弹摧毁了广岛和长崎，日本宣布愿意放下武器。9月2日上午9:00，日本将签署无条件投降协议。在战舰的甲板上，美国盟军最高指挥官道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军走上讲台。他已经详细计划了这个仪式。一支由军事人员和约170名摄影师、摄影记者、广播记者和新闻记者组成的军队受邀亲身体验了第二次世界大战的最后时刻，就在亚洲。
Tokyo Bay, Sunday, September 2, 1945, aboard the Missouri, an American warship. Eleven high-ranking Japanese government and army offiCIAls are expected. Four weeks earlier, on August 6 and 9, 1945, atomic bombs leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan announced its willingness to lay down its arms. At 9:00 a.m. this morning, Japan is to sign its unconditional surrender. On the deck of the warship, the American General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allies, steps up to the microphone. He had planned the ceremony down to the last detail. An army of military personnel and around 170 cameramen, photographers, radio reporters and journalists had been invited to experience the final moments of World War II up close here in Asia.
但突然间出现了不安，仪式在即将结束之前被中断。日本人感到受到冒犯，拒绝接受文件。发生了什么？为什么突然拒绝？为什么投降的仪式如此精心地在舰桥上进行？麦克阿瑟将军到底想要做什么？
1945年日本投降仪式
But suddenly there is unrest, and the ceremony is interrupted shortly before it ends. The Japanese are offended and refuse to accept the document. What happened? Why this sudden refusal? And why was the capitulation staged so elaborately on the command bridge of a ship? What exactly did General MacArthur intend to do with this?
