VIENNA – In 1983, three years before I was born, a chilling television docudrama about the consequences of a nuclear war was broadcast around the world. The Day After, now cited as the highest-rated film in TV history, left then-US President Ronald Reagan “greatly depressed” and caused him to rethink his nuclear strategy.
维也纳——1983年，也就是我出生前3年，一部关于核战争后果的令人不寒而栗的电视文献片在世界各地上映。这部现在被引为电视史上收视率最高的纪录片《浩劫后》使得美国总统罗纳德·里根感到“万分沮丧”，并重新思考自己的核战略。1986年10月的雷克雅未克峰会上，里根和苏联总统 戈尔巴乔夫仅差一点点就销毁了所有的核武器。
