D-Day first means 6 June 1944. On that day in World War II, Allied soldiers — from the United States, Britain, Canada and others — crossed the sea and landed in Normandy, in northern France, to begin pushing into Europe against Nazi Germany. General Eisenhower was in charge.

People still use D-Day人們現在仍把 D-Day in a looser way用得比較鬆：a big, planned action一場計劃好的大行動 finally starts終於啟動 the day的那一天——a launch一次上線、a move一次搬遷、an operation一場行動。

The D does not stand for a secret word. It stands for day, the same way military people say H-hour for the exact hour a plan begins: you name the day before you pin down the calendar date. In history class, though, D-Day almost always means that June morning in 1944.

The D這個 D does not stand for a secret word不是哪個祕密單字的縮寫。It stands for day它代表的就是 day，the same way military people say H-hour就像軍中的人說 H-hour for the exact hour a plan begins來指計畫開始的那個確切鐘點：before you pin down the calendar date在敲定日曆上的日期之前，you name the day先給那一天取好名字。In history class, though不過在歷史課裡，D-Day almost always means幾乎總是指 that June morning in 1944一九四四年那個六月的早晨。
