这是对改变这个国家命运的悲剧的全国性纪念，就像袭击事件本身一样，纪念活动将各行各业的美国人团结在一起。

At dawn the unfurling of a flag over the side of the Pentagon, hit by a jetliner 20 years ago signaled the beginning of a day of tributes.

20年前，五角大楼被撞，该大楼侧面在拂晓时挂上国旗，这标志着悼念日的开始。

93号航班上的33名乘客和7名机组人员可能是命运选择的任何公民群体。

In a sense, they stood in for us all. The terrorists soon discovered that a random⁴ group of Americans is an exceptional group of people.

从某种意义上说，他们代替了我们所有人。恐怖分子很快发现，随机的一群美国人是一个特殊的群体。

And at the Pentagon, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint⁵ Chiefs honored the victims of the attacks and the service members who died at the subsequent war in Afghanistan.

在五角大楼，参谋长联席会议主席马克·米利将军向袭击遇难者和在随后的阿富汗战争中牺牲的军人致敬。

Never forget those who were murdered by terrorists. Never forget those who rushed to save their lives and gave theirs in exchange.

The sky over lower Manhattan lights up again with the annual "Tribute in Light".

It's a reminder⁶ of the nations resilience and an iconic symbol honoring those killed and the nation's unbreakable spirit.

这既提醒了我们这个国家的韧性，也是纪念死难者和这个国家坚不可摧精神的标志性象征。
