The base's public-address system is the simplest way to call the troops—just shout out the soldiers' names, tell them where they're needed, and they'll hustle right over. But there was some head-turning the day I summoned these two privates to assist the chaplain: “Pope, Paul, please report to the orderly room.”
在軍事基地找人最簡單方法是采用公用地址系統(tǒng):喊士兵的名字,告訴他們哪里需要他們,然后他們就會很快過去。但是,有一天我傳喚兩個士兵去幫助駐軍牧師的時候,好多人都回頭來看。我喊的是:“Pope,Paul到文書室報到?!保ㄗⅲ篜ope和Paul是兩個人的名字,但是連在一起就是教皇保羅。)
