周日上午，抗战胜利日大阅兵专项演练在北京天安门地区及长安街沿线举行。请看本报昨日的报道：

    China held a large-scale rehearsal for the Sept. 3 military parade from Saturday evening to Sunday morning in Tian’anmen Square and along Chang’an Avenue in downtown Beijing.

    More than 10,000 servicemen and servicewomen, about 500 military vehicles and nearly 200 aircraft attended the rehearsal, according to a military source.

    All formations, including foreign troops and World War II veterans, were present while about 35,000 guests observed the parade.

    The rehearsal was “smooth and orderly” and achieved the expected results, the source said.

    报道中的rehearsal就是“彩排、预演”，动词是rehearse。例如：

    Life has no rehearsal, and the cameras are always rolling.

    生活没有彩排，镜头一直在现场直播。
