2011年令人目瞪口呆的十大新闻图片 日本海啸 　　Japan Tsunami 　　日本海啸 　　A tsunami-tossed boat rests on top of a building amid a sea of debris in Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture, on March 14—days after a magnitude 8.9 earthquake struck off the northeastern coast of Japan, triggering adevastating tsunami. 　　3月14日，日本岩手县大槌町，一艘船被冲到屋顶，四周被无数碎片包围。11日，日本东北部海域发生8.9级地震并引发可怕的海啸。 　　The Japan earthquake and tsunami also led to a crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which leaked radioactive material into the surrounding region. The accident is now regarded as the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl incident in 1986. 　　日本地震和海啸导致福岛第一核电站发生泄漏事故，放射性物质泄漏到周边地区。这是自1986年切尔诺贝利核事故之后世界上最严重的核灾难。 51号区间谍飞机 　　Area 51 Spy Plane Revealed 　　51号区间谍飞机曝光 　　Suspended upside down, a titanium A-12 spy-plane prototype is prepped for radar testing at Area 51 in the late 1950s. 　　上世纪50年代晚期，神秘的美国51号区，一架钛材料A-12间谍飞机原型机准备接受雷达测试。 　　After a rash of declassifications, details of Cold War workings at the Nevada base, which to this day does not officially exist, are coming to light—including images of an A-12 crash and its cover-up pictured publicly for the first time in May. 　　经过一系列解密之后，内华达基地51号区在冷战期间的诸多细节最终大白于天下，其中包括5月公布的A-12侦察机坠机以及有关掩盖坠机事故真相的照片。这些照片此前从未对外公开过。 　　Nearly undetectable to radar, the A-12 could fly at 2,200 miles (3,540 kilometers) an hour—fast enough to cross the continental U.S. in 70 minutes. From 90,000 feet (27,400 meters)， the planes cameras could capture foot-long (0.3-meter-long) objects on the ground below. But pushing the limits came with risks—and led to the catastrophic 1963 crash of an A-12 based out of Area 51. 　　雷达几乎无法探测到A-12，其时速可达到2200英里(每小时3540公里)，足以在70分钟内横跨美国大陆。这种间谍飞机能够在9万英尺(2.74万米)的高度拍摄到地面上只有1英尺(30厘米)长的物体。但提升性能极限也不可避免地带来风险，1963年，一架A-12间谍飞机在51号区附近坠毁。 墨西哥海底雕塑 　　Bodies Underwater 　　墨西哥海底雕塑 　　A snorkeler swims over life-size statues near Cancún, Mexico, in a picture released in January. 　　2011年1月，在墨西哥坎昆附近拍摄的这张照片展现了一名潜泳者从真人大小的雕塑上方游过的景象。 　　Created by Mexico-based British sculptor Jason deCaires
