[J-92]   Dreamy Drops

           梦的点滴 

 

A GI returned to camp drunken.  “There's no need for you to drink like this,” his captain lectured.  “If you could stay sober, you might become a corporal.  In fact, you might even become a sergeant.  Wouldn't you like that?”

 

“Captain,” the soldier replied, “the fact is that when I get a few drops in me I feel like a colonel!” 

 

[译注]

 

一个美国兵回到营区酒醉了。 「你不需要喝得像这样,」他的队长教训说。「如果你能保持清醒,你或许可变成下士。事实上,你甚至可能变成中士。你不喜欢那样吗?」

 

「队长,」那士兵回答,「事实是:当我有几滴在我身体里时,我感觉起来就像上校!」 

 

注: GI = Government Issue (政府发给),此指政府发给之标准配备。在俗话中用以指穿标准配备军服之士兵。 sober (清醒), corporal (陆军下士), sergeant (陆军中士), colonel (陆军上校)。 drop (酒滴,水滴)
