Visual Training
The squad(班,小队) were having "visual training". One smart recruit(新兵,招募) was asked by the officer to count how many men composed a digging party in a distant field. The party was so faraway(遥远的,恍惚的) that the men appeared as mere1 dots, but unhesitatingly(迅速地) the recruit replied:
"Sixteen men and a sergeant2(中士,军士) , sir."
"Right, but how do you know there's a sergeant there?"
"He's not doing any digging, sir."
视力训练
班里正在进行“视力训练”。一个聪明伶俐的新兵被班长叫出来数远处旷野上采掘队的人数。采掘队在很远的地方,那些人看起来只是一些小点儿。但是这个新兵毫不犹豫地回答。
“十六个兵外加一个中士,长官。”
“正确,可是你怎么知道那儿有一个中士?”
“他不干活,长官。”
