On this day in 1918, Germany and the Allies signed an armistice, and the fighting on the Western Front of World War I ceased at 11 a.m. Many countries still commemorate the day as Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Veterans Day.

一九一八年的今天，德國與協約國簽署停戰協定，第一次世界大戰西線的戰事於上午十一時停止。至今許多國家仍以停戰紀念日、國殤紀念日或退伍軍人節紀念這一天。

November 11 is also Poland's Independence Day, marking the restoration of Polish statehood in 1918.

十一月十一日也是波蘭的獨立紀念日，紀念波蘭於一九一八年恢復建國。

In the autumn of 1955, Nora Bell was the youngest typesetter at The Daily Penny. Night after night she stood at the long wooden case, plucking tiny metal letters one by one and setting them into lines.

一九五五年秋天，諾拉・貝爾是《每日便士報》最年輕的排字工。夜復一夜，她站在長長的木製字盤前，一個接一個地揀起細小的鉛字，排成一行行文字。

One rainy Tuesday, long after the presses had fallen silent, she slid open a drawer that no one had touched in years. Inside lay a single line of type, already set and bound with string.

一個下雨的星期二，印刷機早已停歇許久，她拉開一個多年沒人碰過的抽屜。裡面只放著一行鉛字，已經排好，還用細繩綁著。

She held it up to the lamp and read the letters in reverse, as every typesetter learns to do. It was a headline — and it bore tomorrow's date.

她把它舉到燈下，像每個排字工學會的那樣倒著讀出那些字母。那是一則標題——上面印著明天的日期。
