As he did, Alfred Eisenstadt walked up and took photographs which would record the moment in American history.George says that he really can't explain the kiss.
就在他親吻的時候，阿爾佛雷德·艾森施泰特碰巧路過，拍下了見證美國歷史上的經典瞬間。喬治說他也不知道當時為何突然吻那個護士。
He will only say the combination of the joy of the moment, the drinks and the soft spot in his heart for nurses brought on the impulse to kiss the nurse as she passed.
他解釋說，是巨大的喜悅讓他情不自禁，酒精和內心對護士良好的印象可能促使他吻了從自己身邊走過的那位護士。
The sight of that nurse brought to mind the tender care he had received in a hospital ship for minor surgery and the nurses who cared for the injured sailors.
那位護士觸動了他的內心，他想起自己曾經在軍艦的醫療處接受過的小手術以及那些精心照顧受傷海員的護士們。
George did not know the Kissing Sailor pictures were taken until 1980 when Life Magazine asked for the sailor and the nurse to come forward in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the picture. A friend recognized George as the sailor in the photo. George contacted Life Magazine.
喬治一直不知道這個場景被拍了下來，直到1980年，《生命雜志》尋找圖片中的海軍和護士，來一起慶祝這張照片35年的歷史。喬治的一個朋友認出了照片上的海員就是喬治。隨即喬治才聯系了《生命雜志》。
Life Magazine chose to let the sailor's identity remain a mystery until in 1994, when photo analysis expert, Richard Benson, confirmed "George Mendonsa is the sailor in Mr. Eisenstadt's famous photograph."
《生命雜志》因無法精準確認，選擇對照片上海員的身份暫時保密，直到1994年，一位叫理查德·本森的照片分析專家確定了喬治就是艾森施泰特先生這張著名照片的男主角。
Eisenstadt actually took four photos of the Kissing Sailor on 14 August 1945. George's future wife Rita's face is visible in two of the photos.
艾森施泰特實際在1945年8月14日拍了4張"勝利日之吻"的照片。其中兩張都能看到喬治未來妻子麗塔的臉龐。
The most remarkable piece of physical evidence discovered was a lump on the sailors left arm. Richard examined George's left arm and found a lump in exactly the same spot as the sailor in the photograph.
外型上最不可思議的證據是照片上海員左手臂的一個硬塊。理查德檢查了喬治的手臂，發現他手臂上的硬塊與照片上的位置一模一樣。
