236 Checkout at 11 a.m 離館時(shí)間上午11點(diǎn)
After a few rough years, I decided to let my son try the rigid structure of the military. Once he'd completed basic training, he took a two-day assignment. Midmorning on the second day, I was surprised to receive a call from my son, who was still at his hotel. “Why aren't you on the road yet?” I asked. “Well, I'm all ready to go, Dad,” he replied, “but the sign on the door says, ‘Checkout at 11 a.m.’”
經(jīng)過(guò)幾個(gè)不平靜的年頭,我決定讓兒子去接受軍隊(duì)嚴(yán)格的管束。他在完成基本的訓(xùn)練之后,接受了一個(gè)兩天的任務(wù)。第二天上午十點(diǎn)多鐘,我接到兒子從旅館打來(lái)的電話,我吃驚地問(wèn)他為什么還不上路。他回答說(shuō):“爸爸,我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好要走了。可是門上的牌子說(shuō)‘離館時(shí)間上午11點(diǎn)’。”
