095 Visual Training 视力训练
外国人讲:
The squad was having“visual training”.
One smart recruit was asked by the officer to count how many men composed a digging party in a distantfield.The party was so faraway that the men appeared as mere dots,but unhesitatingly the recruit replied:“Sixteen men and a sergeant,sir.”
“Right,but how do you know there’s a sergeant there?”
“He’s not doing any digging,sir.”

中国人讲:
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里的人数。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:“16个兵外加1个中士,长官。”
“正确,可是你怎么知道那儿有1个中士?”
“他不干活,长官。”
