[J-189] Myopia and Hyperopia 近视和远视
A newly-enlisted soldier was talking with an old and experienced soldier. The recruit said, “I have myopia. I'm afraid I'm too nearsighted to see any target located in the distance.” “Don't worry,” said the veteran. “I have hyperopia. I can see very far. I know there will be a time when you will be sent to the front. There you will be so close to our enemy that you will be able to see clearly their bayonets being thrust towards your bosom.”
[译注]
某新入伍的士兵正在跟某年老而有经验的士兵谈话。那新兵说：「我有近视眼。恐怕我太过近视了，没有办法看到位于远方的目标。」「别担心，」那老兵说。「我有远视眼。我能看得很远。我知道会有一个时候，那时候你将被送到前线。在那里你将会那么接近我们的敌人，以至于你会很清楚地看见他们的刺刀正刺向你的胸怀。」
注：1. myopian = nearsightedness (近视)；heperopia = hepermetropia = farsightedness (远视)。 2. newly-enlisted = recently-enlisted (新近入伍、入学、入社；新近注册、列名的)
