My best friend invited him to his Eagle Scout court of honor ceremony years ago. He didn't show up, but did send a nice letter commending him on his achievement. Yeager is also the reason I gave Beaman's gum a chance. Now I pick it up anywhere I see it.
我最好的朋友几年前邀请他参加自己的鹰级童军荣誉授予仪式。他虽然没能到场，但特地寄来了一封诚挚的信，称赞了他的成就。也是因为叶格，我才去试了试比曼口香糖。现在只要在哪儿见到它，我准会买。

My dad was a navigator in the USAF in the ‘80s. When he was in training Chuck Yeager spoke at a base four hours from where he was stationed. Yeager was his buddy’s hero so they drove all the way there to see him speak. His buddy managed to get a seat in the front, and afterwards he got the chance to meet him. According to my Dad the exchange went as follows; “What do you do son?”
“I’m a navigator, Sir.”
“Navigator? I’d rather have two hundred pounds of gas.” Moral of the story; Don’t meet your heroes.
我爸80年代在美国空军当领航员。他在受训时，查克·耶格尔在离他驻地四个小时车程的一个基地做了次演讲。耶格尔是他哥们的偶像，所以他们俩特地开车过去听。他哥们儿运气好占到了前排的位子，演讲结束后还真有了跟偶像见面的机会。据我爸说，当时的对话是这样的：
“小伙子，你是干什么的？”
“长官，我是领航员。”
“领航员？我宁愿要两百磅航空煤油（也不要你这号人）。”
这事儿给我们的教训是：千万别去见你的偶像。

Yeah, that was kind of a major plot point in [The Right Stuff](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgYH64y8DgU). They all knew he was a great test pilot, but they absolutely did not want him to be the face of the space program. "Now maybe if we talked privately to Yeager there, and some of the other boys..." "*That's* Yeager?" Yeager: "I tell you what else, anyone who goes up in the damn thing is going to be SPAM in a can!" "Yeager doesn't fit the profile." "*Yeager* doesn't fit?" ... "Besides, they seem a little too ... *independent*."
对啊，那在电影《太空先锋》里可是个重头戏。他们都知道他是个顶尖的试飞员，但绝对不希望他成为航天计划的门面。
“要是咱们私下跟耶格尔还有其他几个小伙子谈谈……”
“那……那就是耶格尔？”
耶格尔：“我再给你们透个底，谁要坐那破玩意儿上去，谁就是罐头里的午餐肉！”
“耶格尔不符合人选要求。”
“‘耶格尔’都不符合？”
……
“况且，他们看起来……有点太‘特立独行’了。”

Find me a story about Neil Armstrong being cocky.

"Just four days after the X-15 incident, Armstrong found himself in another sticky situation, this time while flying a T-33 training jet with passenger Chuck Yeager. Apparently, Yeager had warned him that the landing site, Smith Dry Ranch Lake, wasn't suitable for landing due to a recent rainstorm. But Armstrong insisted on flying and ended up getting stuck in the mud." [source](https://www.businessinsider.com.au/neil-armstrongs-most-daring-moments-2012-8#the-landing-gear-of-armstrongs-jet-gets-stuck-in-the-mud-3)
在X-15事故发生仅四天后，阿姆斯特朗又陷入了另一个棘手的麻烦，这次是他载着乘客查克·耶格尔驾驶一架T-33教练机时出的事。显然，耶格尔之前就警告过他，史密斯干湖牧场因为刚下过暴雨，根本不适合降落。但阿姆斯特朗非要在那儿降，结果最后飞机陷进泥里了。

Damn right. His book is a great read and a must for any aviation enthusiasts. I read it while I was getting my first few hours in flight school and, not that I needed it, but it was great motivation. The last few pages, especially, are great. It's about working to the maximum within your limitations...something like, "In life, you can *back* up, but never *give* up." If it turns out that you can't do 100% of the thing you want to do, go ahead and do as much as you can and be proud of it. This was especially inspiring because I had, due to injuries, gotten removed from the military flight training pipeline (twice!) and it had hurt a lot to have that dream crushed. But, here I am, flying anyway, working on my private pilots license. A Piper Cherokee is a very far cry from the F-18 I had planned on flying in, *but I am flying,* loving every second of it and appreciate the fact that many aspiring pilots don't even get as far as I have. Life is cruel that way. You have to adapt and work to the maximum extent your limits allow. Also, Gen. Yeager lately been doing some cool work in education for girls, too. It's something I'll keep in mind for when my daughter gets old enough!
说得太对了。他的书写得真棒，任何航空发烧友都必读。我当时在航校刚开始累积飞行时长的时候读了这本书，虽然我不需要这种激励，但它确实给了我巨大的动力。
尤其是最后几页，写得太好了。讲的是在自身局限内做到极致……大概意思是：“在生活中，你可以*后退*，但绝不能*放弃*。”如果最后发现你无法百分之百完成你想做的事，那就尽你所能去做到最好，并以此为傲。
这对我来说特别鼓舞人心，因为我当时由于受伤，（两次！）被踢出了军队飞行训练项目，梦想破碎的感觉真的很痛。但看看现在的我，依然在飞行，正在考私照。
派珀切诺基（Piper Cherokee）和我原本打算驾驶的 F-18 大相径庭，*但我确实在飞行，*我享受着其中的每一秒，也深知许多立志当飞行员的人甚至连我这一步都到不了。生活就是这么残酷。
你必须去适应，并在你能力允许的范围内做到极致。
另外，耶格尔将军最近在女子教育方面也做了一些很酷的事情。等我女儿长大了，我一定会把这事儿放在心上！

Thats so awesome. Some of my earliest gaming was Chuck Yeagers Air Combat on my 386. I always wanted to fly but when I was young I spent too much time playing on the computer and had to get glasses. Pretty much ruined any chance of mine of flying fighter jets, so I joined the Army instead. Very, very few ever make it into the seat of a fighter jet. You should be proud you made it as far as you did!
太赞了。我最早期的游戏体验之一就是在 386 电脑上玩《查克·耶格尔的空战》（Chuck Yeager's Air Combat）。我一直想飞，但小时候花太多时间玩电脑，结果戴上了眼镜。基本上这就毁了我驾驶战斗机的机会，所以我转而加入了陆军。能坐进战斗机驾驶舱的人寥寥无几。你能走到这一步，应该感到骄傲！

There's a guy who lives down the street from me who was a pilot in Vietnam who served under Yeager. He said Yeager was a total hardass. On his first day on base, he didn't like the sloppy landings pilots were making. So, he had two lines drawn on the runway, lined up everyone who wasn't doing a job that demanded their presence along the sides of the runway, and he made all the pilots perform touch-and-gos. They had to land and then re-takeoff between those two lines dozens of times. He made them do it all day until dark while everyone else stood and watched them. At one point, he had the distance between the lines shortened and someone complained it was too close. So, Yeager got in a plane and did it with room to spare. The guy says he was a hard sonofabitch but he seemed to genuinely respect him and looked back on him with fondness. He told me other stories about him, but this was the one that stuck with me.
我住的那条街上有个哥们儿，以前在越战当过飞行员，在耶格尔（Yeager）手底下干过。他说耶格尔简直是个冷酷无情的硬茬。在他入驻基地的第一天，耶格尔看不惯那些飞行员降落时松松垮垮的样子。于是，他在跑道上画了两条线，把基地里所有没事儿干的人都拉到跑道边站着看，然后强迫所有飞行员练习触地重飞（touch-and-gos）。他们必须在那两条线之间反复起降几十次。他就让大家整整练了一天，直到天黑，其他人就站在旁边看着他们练。
后来，他还让人把那两条线之间的距离缩短了，有人抱怨说太窄了。结果呢，耶格尔二话不说自己钻进飞机，操作了一遍，不仅做到了，还留出了不少余量。
那哥们儿说耶格尔这人确实是个难搞的混球，但他看起来确实打心底里敬重这位长官，回想起这些往事时也带着几分怀念。他还给我讲了其他关于耶格尔的事，但这个故事最让我印象深刻。

My uncle (great uncle?) served under him, I remember being about 7-8 and he gave me a book about Chuckie Yeager (I live in the UK and so the Vietnam war always passed me by unless I was meeting him) HE would always ask me "Who was the first man to break the sound barrier?" he passed not so long ago, but I have fond memories of him saying how proud he was to serve under such a skilled pilot and overall soldier. I should try to find some of his diaries, he seemed like the type to keep them - being so fond of stories an such.
我叔祖父（大概是吧？）曾在他手下服役。我记得我七八岁的时候，他送过我一本关于查克·耶格尔（Chuckie Yeager）的书（我住在英国，所以除非见到他，否则越战离我的生活很远）。他总会问我：“第一个突破音障的人是谁？”他不久前去世了，但我依然怀念他，他总是自豪地说能在那样一位技术精湛、面面俱到的军人手下服役是多么荣幸。我真该找找他的日记，他看起来就是那种会写日记的人——毕竟他那么喜欢讲故事。

Winning in air combat means mastering your airplane. Yeager was right to be intolerant of sloppiness. If I was a combat pilot, I'd want to serve under someone like him.
空战中想赢，就得精通你的战机。耶格尔对马虎零容忍是完全正确的。如果我是名战斗机飞行员，我绝对愿意在像他那样的人手下服役。

____________ Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager (born February 13, 1923) is a former United States Air Force general officer and record-setting test pilot. In 1947, he became the first pilot confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight. Yeager's career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army Air Forces. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II USAAF equivalent to warrant officer) and became a P-51 fighter pilot. After the war, Yeager became a test pilot of many types of aircraft, including experimental rocket-powered aircraft. As the first human to officially break the sound barrier, on October 14, 1947, he flew the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m). Scott Crossfield was the first to fly faster than Mach 2 in 1953, and Yeager shortly thereafter set a new record of Mach 2.44. After Bell Aircraft test pilot Chalmers "Slick" Goodlin demanded $150,000 ($1.6 million in 2015 dollars) to break the sound "barrier," the USAAF selected Yeager to fly the rocket-powered Bell XS-1 in a NACA program to research high-speed flight. Such was the difficulty in this task that the answer to many of the inherent challenges were along the lines of "Yeager better have paid-up insurance." Two nights before the scheduled date for the flight, Yeager broke two ribs when he fell from a horse. He was worried that the injury would remove him from the mission and reported that he went to a civilian doctor in nearby Rosamond, who taped his ribs. Yeager told only his wife, as well as friend and fellow project pilot Jack Ridley, about the accident. On the day of the flight, Yeager was in such pain that he could not seal the X-1's hatch by himself. Ridley rigged up a device, using the end of a broom handle as an extra lever, to allow Yeager to seal the hatch. Yeager broke the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying over the Rogers Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. He went on to break many other speed and altitude records and was also one of the first American pilots to fly a MiG-15, after its pilot, No Kum-sok, defected to South Korea. Returning to Muroc, during the latter half of 1953, Yeager was involved with the USAF team that was working on the X-1A, an aircraft designed to surpass Mach 2 in level flight. That year, he flew a chase aircraft for the civilian pilot Jackie Cochran as she became the first woman to fly faster than sound. Yeager later commanded fighter squadrons and wings in Germany, and in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and in recognition of the outstanding performance ratings of those units he was promoted to brigadier general. Yeager's flying career spans more than 60 years and has taken him to every corner of the globe, including the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War.

查尔斯·埃尔伍德·“查克”·耶格尔（出生于1923年2月13日）是美国空军前将军，也是一位屡破纪录的试飞员。1947年，他成为首位被证实实现水平超音速飞行的飞行员。
耶格尔的职业生涯始于第二次世界大战，当时他在美国陆军航空队担任列兵。在做过一段时间飞机机械师后，他于1942年9月参加了士兵飞行训练，毕业后被晋升为飞行军官（二战期间美国陆军航空队的军衔，相当于准尉），随后成为一名P-51战斗机飞行员。
战后，耶格尔成为了多种机型的试飞员，包括实验性火箭动力飞机。作为人类史上首位正式突破音障的飞行员，1947年10月14日，他驾驶实验性的贝尔X-1飞机，在45000英尺（13700米）的高空达到了1马赫的速度。斯科特·克罗斯菲尔德在1953年率先飞出了超过2马赫的速度，耶格尔紧随其后，创下了2.44马赫的新纪录。
在贝尔飞机公司的试飞员查尔默斯·“斯利克”·古德林要求支付15万美元（按2015年价值计算为160万美元）才肯去突破“音障”后，美国陆军航空队选中了耶格尔来驾驶火箭动力的贝尔XS-1，参与NACA（美国国家航空咨询委员会）的高速飞行研究项目。这项任务难度极高，当时针对许多潜在挑战，人们的普遍反应就是：“耶格尔最好买好保险。”在预定飞行日的前两个晚上，耶格尔从马上摔下来摔断了两根肋骨。他担心伤势会让他被踢出任务，于是声称自己去找了附近罗莎蒙德的一位平民医生，医生帮他缠了绷带。耶格尔只把事故告诉了自己的妻子，以及好友兼项目飞行员杰克·里德利。飞行当天，耶格尔疼得甚至没法自己关上X-1的舱门。里德利想了个法子，用一根扫帚把手做了个简易杠杆，这才帮耶格尔关上了舱门。
1947年10月14日，耶格尔驾驶飞机飞过莫哈韦沙漠的罗杰斯干湖，成功突破了音障。此后，他又打破了许多其他的速度和高度纪录。在飞行员卢今锡（No Kum-sok）投诚韩国后，耶格尔还成为了第一批驾驶米格-15的美国飞行员之一。1953年下半年回到穆罗克基地后，耶格尔参与了美国空军的X-1A团队，这架飞机的设计目标是在水平飞行中超过2马赫。同年，当民航飞行员杰基·科克伦成为首位实现超音速飞行的女性时，耶格尔还担任了她的伴飞。
耶格尔后来在德国和越南战争期间的东南亚担任过战斗机中队和联队的指挥官，由于这些部队的出色表现，他被晋升为准将。耶格尔的飞行生涯长达60多年，足迹遍布全球各个角落，甚至包括冷战巅峰时期的苏联。

McCune-Reischauer romanization is still widely used. It is still the primary romanization system in North Korea, and Revised Romanization was not used in South Korea until 2000 and still has not seen complete acceptance; indeed, M-R is still the most commonly used system for names and in many overseas Korean communities. And to say that it is "pronounced" as No Geum Seok is misleading; indeed, the primary reason for resistance to RR is that it makes pronunciation far less obvious than M-R. Korean pronunciation did not significantly change with the bureaucratic introduction of a new romanization system in 2000, and as such "No Kum Sok" is still a closer approximation for English speakers of the pronunciation of the name.
马科恩-赖肖尔（McCune-Reischauer）拼音法依然被广泛使用。它至今仍是北韩主要使用的罗马化拼写系统，而南韩直到2000年才开始推行“修订罗马字拼写法”（Revised Romanization），且至今都没能完全普及；事实上，对于人名拼写以及许多海外韩裔社区来说，M-R拼写法依然是最通用的系统。
说这个名字“发音”为 No Geum Seok 其实挺误导人的；事实上，人们抗拒RR拼写法的核心原因，就是它让发音变得比M-R拼写法更难捉摸。2000年官方引入这套新的罗马化系统后，韩语的发音并没有发生什么实质性变化，因此，“No Kum Sok”对英语母语者来说，依然是对该名字发音更接近的拼写方式。

I know! I sent this photo to him, which is quite exciting. Most of the people I colorize are already dead.

Imagine being born in the 20's, to serving as a pilot in WWII, to being the first to break the sound barrier and more, to posting on Twitter hourly.
想象一下，从出生在20年代，到二战时当飞行员，再到第一个突破音障等等，最后居然变成了每小时都在推特上发帖的人。

I will always upvote chuck fucking Yeager. His parts in ‘the Right Stuff’ were always the best.

Not sure why this needed colorized. He was young when he broke the sound barrier. This looks like him in the early 80's.
不懂为啥这视频非得搞个上色。他突破音障那会儿明明很年轻。这视频里看起来倒像是80年代初的他。

That title seems oddly specific.
这标题看着怪具体的。

It's because many a pilot broke the sound barrier before Chuck, albeit in a dive and unrecorded.
那是因为在查克之前，早就有一堆飞行员突破过音障了，只不过都是在俯冲时完成的，而且没被记录下来。

If anyone is curious as to why this guy is the first pilot specifically *confirmed* to have broken the sound barrier, it's because people like [Lothar Sieber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothar_Sieber), who likely did break the speed of sound in their test flights, also died horribly.
要是有人好奇为什么这哥们儿是第一个被“实锤”突破音障的飞行员，那是因为像 [Lothar Sieber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothar_Sieber) 这种很有可能在试飞中也突破了音障的人，下场都死得老惨了。

He looks like one of those old school hollywood actors that’d you see on Twilight Zone playing a police chief or a doctor or something.
