They are very close to me; they are not terribly far away; they are on my side of the fence.

他們離我非常近、一點也不遠，他們是我這邊的人。

I am Staff Sergeant Brian Moran.

我是 Brian Moran 上士。

I'm an instructor here at the United States Army Sniper Course.

我是美國狙擊兵課程的教練。

So sniper school is a very important school not just to us, but also to the entire military as a whole.

狙擊兵不只對我們而言很重要，對軍方整體都很重要。

It fills a very important role that allows units to expand their reach well beyond the front lines.

狙擊兵使部隊能夠大大拓展視野，而不只侷限在前線。

They are able to get behind enemy lines within very close proximity to targets, obtain very important reconnaissance that they can then send back to their units to be used for planning purposes.

他們能深入敵線，近距離接近、勘查目標，並將情報回傳給單位以利戰術擬定。

Alright, first man, go ahead and come up.

好，一號學員，起來吧！

So here on student number one, we've got what is known as a ghillie suit.

在一號學生身上的是，著名的吉利服。

The purpose of the ghillie suit is to break up the individuals outline, and allow him to blend in with his surroundings.

吉利服的目的是隱藏自己，讓自己融入週遭環境中。

Alright, there is still a second sniper in your immediate field of view.

你的視線內還有一名狙擊兵。

The reason that we have to remain so unseen at all times, is obviously because we're trying to detect the enemy while remaining undetected ourselves.

我們得保持如此隱匿的原因是，我們要偵查敵人，且同時不要被發現。

When we operate, we operate in as small as two-man teams, so without ready support, we're not going to be able to sustain a long fire fight.

執行任務時，通常會是兩人的小組合，少了支援，狙擊兵無法進行長時間槍戰。

We need to be able to be unseen by the enemy, obtain the intelligence needed, and then be able to move out or take a shot if needed.

我們得保持隱匿、獲取情報，還要能撤退或在必要時狙擊目標。

Second man, go ahead and come forward.

二號學員，起來吧！

So, the individual here is covered head to toe in green foliage.

這名學生從頭到腳都被綠葉包覆。

He's got broad leaves on him because his immediate area was also matched with green leaves, allowing him to blend into what's known as the negative space...

他身上有許多大葉子，因為周遭環境也有許多綠葉，這使得他能夠融入俗稱的「負空間」。

Or the space that does not take up mass.

也就是那兩叢綠葉中間的空地。

So, he's done a good job here.

他做得很好。

He's executed it well, and he's kept himself concealed from viewing eyes.

他執行得很好，讓自己在視線中保持隱匿。

From the United States Army Sniper Course, thank you for viewing with us.
