- Around 6.50pm the M-88 drove away from the statue, dragging it face forward with the chain around its neck.
- 下午6点50分左右，M-88装甲车驶离雕像，挂着铁链，脸朝前拖着雕像。
- Slowly, the bronze bent forward at the knee and ankle, Saddam's huge figure bobbing for a few seconds in a horizontal position as the modest crowd of Iraqis whistled and cheered.
- 慢慢地，铜像的膝盖和脚踝处向前弯了弯，萨达姆的巨大身躯在水平位置上下浮动了几秒钟，而为数不多的一群伊拉克人吹起了口哨，欢呼起来。
- Finally, the statue snapped off its plinth, leaving its feet behind.
- 最后，雕像折断了底座，把脚留在了后面。
- Iraqis ran forward, jumped on it and danced. It was crushed to pieces.
- 伊拉克人向前跑，在上面跳来跳去。它被压成了碎片。
- That morning, photojournalist Patrick Baz had been in Saddam City (a neighbourhood of Baghdad later renamed Sadr City).
- 那天早上，摄影记者帕特里克·巴兹来到了萨达姆城(巴格达的一个街区，后来改名为萨德尔城)。

- They would all crowd around Saddam and start hitting him with their shoes.
- 他们会围着萨达姆，开始用鞋子打他。
- (Shoes are considered dirty in the Middle East: it is rude to show someone the soles of your shoes, and a terrible insult to hit them with a shoe. In 2008, an Iraqi journalist would make international news when he threw a shoe at George W Bush.)
- (在中东，鞋子被认为是脏的：让别人看你的鞋底是不礼貌的，用鞋子打别人是一种严重的侮辱。2008年，一名伊拉克记者向乔治·W·布什扔鞋，这件事成了国际新闻。)
- "The image was all the more strong because there wasn't an American soldier in sight," Baz later wrote. "Just the locals expressing what they felt about their country's long-term dictator."
- 巴兹后来写道：“因为视野里没有一名美国士兵，所以画面更加强烈。只是当地人表达了他们对长期担任了这个国家的独裁者的感受。”
- Baz hurried back to his room at the Palestine Hotel to send his pictures to his editors, then heard a commotion outside and witnessed the Firdos Square toppling.
- 巴兹急忙回到他在巴勒斯坦酒店的房间，把他的照片发给他的编辑，然后听到外面的骚动，并目睹了佛多斯广场的倒塌。
- Only one of the Saddam topplings made the front pages, and it was not the one that Iraqis had done for themselves.

- 在福克斯，主持人同意了。布里特·休姆说：“这超越了我所见过的任何东西。”
- His colleague agreed: "The important story of the day is this historic shot you are looking at, a noose around the neck of Saddam, put there by the people of Baghdad."
- 他的同事对此表示赞同：“今天最重要的新闻就是你看到的这一具历史意义的枪决，这是巴格达人民套在萨达姆脖子上的绞索。”
