傲慢的軍官

傲慢的軍官

A private didn't notice a young lieutenant and failed to salute him. The lieutenant said sternly, "You did not salute me. For this you must immediately salute one hundred times."

Just then the general came up. When he saw the poor private about to begin, he exclaimed, "What's all this?"

The lieutenant explained, "This ignoramus(無知的人) failed to salute me. I'm making his salute one hundred times as a punishment.”

"Quite right," replied the general smiling, "But do not forget, sir, that upon each occasion you are to salute return."

有個(gè)士兵沒有注意到一個(gè)年輕的陸軍中尉，沒有向他敬禮。中尉很嚴(yán)厲地對那個(gè)士兵說：“你沒有向我敬禮，因此你要馬上敬100個(gè)禮。”

這時(shí)候?qū)④娺^來了。他看到那個(gè)可憐的士兵就要開始敬禮時(shí)，就大聲問道：“這是怎么啦?”

中尉解釋說：“這個(gè)蠢貨沒有向我敬禮，我就罰他馬上向我敬一百個(gè)禮。”

將軍笑著說：“完全正確。不過，老弟，別忘了他向你每敬一個(gè)禮，你都要回禮的啊!”
