In order to save millions of people from starvation, the US Allies devised a plan to airlift in food.

He delivered candy.
他送了糖果。
My name is Gail Halvorsen, but I'm known as the Berlin Candy Bomber.
我叫盖尔·哈尔沃森，但大家都叫我“柏林糖果投弹手”。
I didn't think that the airlift would last very long,
我知道空运不会持续很久，
so I thought, I'd better get a movie in of this operation before they send me home.
所以我就想，在他们把我送回去之前，我最好还是把这次行动拍下来为好。
One day, while filming the planes taking off and landing,
一天，盖尔正在拍摄飞机起飞和降落，
Gail became aware that there were some young children watching him.
他突然意识到一些年幼的孩子正看着他。
He went over to talk to them, and after a while, he realized,
他走过去跟他们说话，过了一会儿，他意识到，
“Dummy, don't you know kids like chocolate?”
"笨蛋，不知道孩子喜欢巧克力吗？”
And I knew that they had not had chocolate in the stores in Berlin for two years.
我发现柏林的商店已经两年没卖过巧克力了。
And I reached in my pocket, and all I had was two sticks of Wrigley's Doublemint gum.
我伸进口袋，只剩下两片箭牌口香糖了。
I broke the two sticks in half, gave it to the kids.
我把它们撕成四份给了孩子们。
And the kids with half a stick tore off the wrapper into thin strips and passed it to those without gum.
孩子们把包装纸撕成细条，分给没有吃到口香糖的孩子。
Those who had received the wrappers put it at their nose and smelled a piece of wrapper.
那些拿到包装纸的孩子便把它放在鼻子上，闻包装纸的味道。
Inspired by their generosity, he decided that next flight, he would drop them chocolate and candy via parachute from the plane.
孩子们慷慨的举止感动了盖尔，他决定在下次飞行时用降落伞给他们空投巧克力和糖果。
They said, "How do we know what airplane you're in?"
他们说：“那我们怎么知道你在哪架飞机上呢？”
And so I said, “When I come over the airfield, I'll wiggle the wings of that big airplane.”
我说：“我飞过机场的时候会摆动我那架大飞机的翅膀。”
They said, "Oh, great."
他们说，“噢，那太好了。”
True to his word, the next day Gail began to drop the packages.
盖尔没有食言，第二天他便开始投那些包裹了。
What started with just two sticks of gum eventually turned into 23 tons of chocolate.
刚开始的两片口香糖最终变成了23吨巧克力。
From then on, I was known in the press and all the kids in Berlin, “that's Uncle Wiggly Wings.”
从那以后，我便在柏林的媒体和孩子们中间出名了，“那是翅膀摇摇叔叔。”
And in case you wondering if the Candy Bomber still has a sweet tooth,
以免大家好奇，糖果投弹手有没有蛀牙呢
Oh, yeah, I still eat chocolate.
嗯，当然有了，因为我现在还吃巧克力呢。
I like dark chocolate.
我特别爱吃黑巧克力。
