Very Pleased to Meet You

During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers.

One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, "I'm going abroad tomorrow, but I'd be very happy if we could write to each other." Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months.

Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England.

Joan went there and said to the matron, "I've come to visit Captain Humphreys."

"Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here," the matron said.

"Oh, that's all right," answered Joan. "I'm his sister."

"I'm very pleased to meet you," the matron said, "I'm his mother!"

  在第二次世界大战中,有许多年轻的妇女在军营中服役。琼.飞利浦斯是其中之一。她在一个大军营中工作,当然遇到了许多男士,包括军官和士兵。

一天晚上她在舞会上遇到了军官汉弗雷斯。他对她说,"我明天就要出国,但如果我们能够相互写信,我会很高兴。"琼同意了,于是他们几个月里一直通着信。

后来,他再没有来信。她收到了另一个军官的信,告诉她,他受伤了,住在英格兰的某个部队医院里。

琼到了医院,她对护士长说,"我来看望军官汉弗雷斯。"

"这里只有亲属可以探望病人。"护士长说。

"噢,是的,"琼说,"我是他的妹妹。"

"很高兴认识你,"护士长说,"我是他的母亲。"

Two Soldiers

Two soldiers were in camp. The first one's name was George, and the second one's name was Bill. George said, "have you got a piece of paper and an envelope, Bill?"

Bill said, "Yes, I have," and he gave them to him.

Then George said, "Now I haven't got a pen." Bill gave him his, and George wrote his letter. Then he put it in the envelope and said, "have you got a stamp, Bill?" Bill gave him one.

Then Bill got up and went to the door, so George said to him, "Are you going out?"

Bill Said, "Yes, I am," and he opened the door.

George said, "Please put my letter in the box in the office, and..." He stopped.

"What do you want now?" Bill said to him.

George looked at the envelope of his letter and answered, "What's your girl-friend's address?"

军营里有二名士兵,一个叫乔治,一个叫比尔。乔治问:"比尔,你有信纸、信封吗?"

比尔说:"有。"然后把信纸和信封给了乔治。

乔治又说:"我还没有笔呢。"比尔又把自己的笔给了他。乔治开始写信。写完后把信放进信封里,又问:"比尔,你有邮票吗?"比尔给了他一张。

这时比尔站起来,向门口走去。乔治问:"你要出去吗?"

比尔说:"是的。"随即打开了门。

乔治说:"请帮我把这封信投进办公室的信箱里,还有..."他停住了。

"你还要什么?"比尔问。

乔治看着信封说:"你女朋友的地址是-?"

West Point

My father, brother and I visited West Point to see a football game between Army and Boston College. Taking a stroll before kickoff, we met many cadets in neatly pressed uniforms. Several visting fans asked the recruits if they would pose for photographs, "to show our son what to expect if he should attend West Point."

One middle-aged couple approached a very attractive female cadet and asked her to pose for a picture. They explained, "We want to show our son what he missed by not coming to West Point."

父亲、哥哥和我到西点军校去观看一场陆军与波士顿大学之间的橄榄球赛。开始之前,我们到处转了转,碰到许多穿着整齐制服的学员。几名游客问新兵是否愿意摆出军姿来让他们摄。"好认我们的儿子知道,如果他到西点军校来学习会得到什么。"

一对中年夫妇走近一名非常漂亮的女学员,问她是否愿意摆个姿势照相。他们解释说:"我们想让儿子知道他没来西点军校错过了什么。"
