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的回答:
“十六个士兵和一个中士,长官。”
“正确。可你如何知道那儿有一个中士?”
“他不干活,长官。”
Visual Training
The squad were having "visual training". One smart recruit was asked by the officer to count how many men composed a digging party . The party was so far away that the men appeared as mere dots, but unhesitatingly the recruit replied:
"Sexteen men and a sergeant, sir."
"Right; but how do you know there’s a sergeant there?"
"He’s not doing any digging, sir."
