War is not over yet——战争还没结束
War is not over yet——战争还没结束 |

There was a historical marker near our West Virginia home commemorating the Civil War Battle of Blue's Gap. One day when an oncoming bus was taking too wide a turn, my wife swerved our van out of the way, accidentally clipped the sign and broke it. Wanting to do the right thing, I called the state police to report the damage. Apparently the war is still not over, because the trooper I spoke to asked, "Who won that battle?" "The Union," I replied. "Well, don't worry about it," he said, and hung up. 我在西弗吉尼亚的家的附近有1个历史纪念牌,那是用来纪念美国内战时的布鲁斯峡谷战役。 1天,我妻子开车时,1辆迎面驶来的的公车拐弯拐得特别大,我妻子急忙之中将车开到了路的外边,不小心蹭到了那个纪念牌,牌子碎了。 出于1种责任感,我给州警察局打了电话,报告了损坏情况。 很明显,战争还没有结束,因为与我通话的警官在电话中问我,“谁赢得了战斗?”“盟军”,我回答说。 “呃,那就没事了”,他说,同时挂掉了电话。 热点关注
