NAVAL MINE WARFARE ESSAY CONTEST—FIRST PRIZE 水雷战小作文一等奖
Sponsored by the Mine Warfare Association 由蓝方海军学会赞助
The United States should pursue offensive mining capabilities against China in the Yellow Sea and the Pearl River Delta.
蓝方海军应当追求发展能够在红方黄海海域及珠江三角洲流域进行攻势布雷的能力。
以下为了避免神兽肆虐，现实地名统一改用红蓝双方代称。

Possible future conflict scenarios between the United States and an increasingly aggressive and capable China suggest the United States will be at a significant and immediate disadvantage.
红方的海军实力越来越强，进攻性越来越大，这样一来红蓝双方极有可能在未来发生冲突。此时蓝方将会面临明显而紧迫的劣势
By initiating the conflict through surprise and deception, China may be able to “attack effectively first,” seizing on and exploiting one of the late Navy Captain Wayne P.Hughes’ cornerstones of maritime warfare.1
通过奇招和诡诈，红方可能能够达成“有效的先发制人”，夺取并扩大Wayne P. Hughes所提到的“海战柱石”。（注1）
This would allow China to optimally position its military, incapacitate frontline US forces, and establish sea control.
这将使得红方能够将海军部队部署到合适的位置，并且失能前方的蓝方单位，进而掌握制海权。
Understanding this situation, the United States must find a means of disputing Chinese sea control.
考虑到上述情况，蓝方海军必须想到一种方法能够阻挠红方获得制海权。
The US Indo-Pacific Command (IndoPaCom) should aggressively pursue offensive mining capabilities to use in the Yellow Sea and Pearl River Delta.
蓝方印太司令部应当大力发展攻势布雷能力，从而能在黄海海域和珠江口布设水雷
Mining these two key waterways would strike at a known Chinese vulnerability.
在这两个关键点位布雷将打击红方的一处关键弱点
Mines are effective and inexpensive weapons that can provide IndoPaCom with the time and space to build forces for an effective counterattack.
水雷价格低廉，作战效能高，能为印太司令部提供时间和空间以便集中力量发起反击。
Finally, mining would help the United States disrupt the Chinese economy.
最后，对红方水域布雷能有效打击红方经济

后面的现在没空翻译，省流版：
1. 因为我们蓝方没发展水雷，所以红方没怎么发展反水雷。此时我们如果偷偷发展点水雷，定能打他个措手不及
2. 水雷很便宜
3. 水雷可以封锁海域，打击红方石油进口
然后谁去布雷这事，这个大聪明是只字未提。
总结：老鼠给猫挂铃铛。这篇文章通篇吹了一顿铃铛能有多响，可惜就是找不到一个能去挂铃铛的老鼠。鼠鼠我呀，是真的害怕了😰

什么海军协会初高中新概念作文选，搁这畅想未来呢是吧

根本不在意发动战争的罪名，看来是对于宣传机器很有信心啊
