On September 11, 2001, amid the burning ashes ofthe World Trade Center, three New York Cityfirefighters hoisted as mall American flag removedfrom a nearby yacht. It was 5 p.m. on a day thatwould radically change the course of history.

2001年9月11日，3名紐約消防員從停在附近的一艘游艇上取下一面美國(guó)國(guó)旗，并在世貿(mào)中心的廢墟上升起。事情發(fā)生在當(dāng)天下午5點(diǎn)，并徹底改變了歷史的進(jìn)程。

The image, captured by a former photographerfrom The Bergen Record, became a symbol of hope and resiliency in the face of unimaginabletragedy.

這次頗有歷史意義的升旗儀式被Bergen Record報(bào)社的一位前攝影師抓拍下來，成為人們面對(duì)這場(chǎng)慘絕人寰的悲劇時(shí)展示希望的標(biāo)志圖片。

But within hours of its raising, the flag disappeared from the World Trade Center site.

但是在升起后的數(shù)小時(shí)后，這面國(guó)旗就從世貿(mào)中心消失了。

The iconic flag is now back in New York City, 15 years after it went missing.

如今，在消失15年后，這面標(biāo)志性的旗幟又重新出現(xiàn)在了紐約。
