与将军的对话

鸭绒25(译)

2024105

 

那是一个漆黑的,有暴风雨的夜晚。一名海军陆战队队员正在站岗。那是他入伍以来执行的第一项任务。

一位将军此时正带着他的狗出来散步。

这位紧张的年轻士兵马上立正站好,敬了一个完美的军礼。

他像报口令那样喊道:“长官,晚上好。长官!”

将军出来遛狗是想放松一下。他回了军礼,说:“晚上好,士兵。这是个美好的夜晚,不是吗?”

其实,那并不是一个美好的夜晚。但士兵不能反对将军。所以,他再次敬礼并回答:“长官,是的。夜晚很美好,长官!”

将军继续说:“你知道,暴风雨的夜晚可以使人舒缓情绪。它真的会让人放松。你同意吗?”

士兵不同意。但士兵只是一名士兵。他回答说:“长官,是的。我同意,长官!”

将军指着他的狗说:“这是一只金毛猎犬,是最适合训练的狗。”

士兵看了狗一眼,再次敬礼并说:“长官,是的。是只好狗,长官!”

将军继续说:“我买这只狗是为了我的妻子。”

士兵简短地说:“买得好,长官!”

 

注:对话的场景并不涉及下级服从上级的军纪。但该新兵生怕出错,一直小心翼翼地回答将军的问话。弄到最后,还是出错了。“Got something for someone”既可以理解为为某人买了某东西,也可理解为用某东西替换了某人。显然,将军的生活现状是,宁可与狗为伴,也不愿与妻子同居。
