在中国最大的航空展上，歼20隐形机首次亮相展示实力

ZHUHAI: China showed its Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter in public for the first time on Tuesday, opening the country’s biggest meeting of aircraft makers and buyers with a show of its military clout.

11月1日，歼20隐形机首次公开亮相，通过军事实力的展示，开启了该国最大的军机制造商和买家的盛会。

Airshow China, in the southern city of Zhuhai, offers Beijing an opportunity to demonstrate its ambitions in civil aerospace and to underline its defence ambitions. China is set to overtake the US as the world’s top aviation market in the next decade.

珠海航展，为北京提供了一个展示其民用航空抱负的机会，进一步突显了其国防野心。未来十年，中国必将超过美国成为世界头号航空市场。

Two J-20 jets, Zhuhai’s headline act, swept over dignitaries and hundreds of spectators and industry executives gathered at the show’s opening ceremony in a 60-second flypast, generating a deafening roar that was met with gasps and applause and set off car alarms in a parking lot at the site.

来自珠海的头条新闻是，两架歼20在齐聚于开幕式典礼的贵宾、业界领袖和几百名观众面前飞过，飞行时间60秒，震耳欲聋的马达声引来了阵阵鼓掌，停车场上的汽车报警器也响个不停。

“It is clearly a big step forward in Chinese combat capability,” said Bradley Perrett of Aviation Week, a veteran China watcher.

显然，中国的空战能力迈出了一大步，美国《航空周刊》资深中国观察家白广原（Bradley Perrett）如是说。
