[00:46.91]I was in the band at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota.
[00:53.36]Our group was required to play for all generals who arrived on base.
[01:00.21]So one morning, when our commanding officer heard on the radio
[01:06.34]that a General Frost was expected just after noon,
[01:11.60]he sent us scrambling to the flight line with our instruments.
[01:16.94]Turns out one of the musicians had also heard the radio announcement.
[01:22.89] He took the C.O. aside for a whispered conference.
[01:27.56]When they returned,
[01:29.19] the officer told us the performance was canceled.
[01:33.64]There was no arriving general
[01:36.51]-- we had almost played for the weather forecast.
[01:43.58]当时，我曾在南达科他州的Ellsworth空军基地的一个乐队工作。
[01:51.00]当有将军来到基地时，
[01:53.40]我们就得为他们演奏。
[01:56.43]因此， 当一天早上，
[01:58.82]我们的指挥军听到无线广播中说有一位名为 Frost的将来会在午后来到基地时，
[02:06.47]他马上让我们带上乐器，火速赶往停机坪那边。
[02:12.64]后来才知道，我们其中的一个乐手也听到了这个广播通知。
[02:18.01]他把指挥官拉到一边，耳语一阵。
[02:22.10]当他们回来时，指挥官告诉我们表演取消了。
[02:27.27]原来根本就没有将军要来
[02:30.70]-- 我们差点就给天气预告演奏了一回。

[03:28.77]因此， 当一天早上，
[03:30.77]我们的指挥军听到无线广播中说有一位名为 Frost的将来会在午后来到基地时，
[03:38.58][即时讲解]
[03:40.85]general frost，在故事中是天气术语，
[03:45.20]"大部有霜冻"， 但被误认为了一位名叫Frost的将军要来了，
[03:50.98]因为frost本身是"霜冻的意思"，
[03:54.31]而且同时又是美国人的一个姓，
[03:57.70]再加上General 有"将军"的意思,这就难怪有这个误会了。
[04:06.18]he sent us scrambling to the flight line with our instruments.

[04:19.69]scramble，是"急急忙忙地跑"的意思，
[04:23.12]特别是指"跑起来不顾仪态"的那种,如，
[04:27.38]He scrambled out of his home in such a rush.
[04:31.62]"他疯了似的从家里跑出来"。
[04:37.86]Turns out one of the musicians had also heard the radio announcement.
[04:44.28]后来才知道，我们其中的一个乐手也听到了这个广播通知。

[04:52.31]turn out，在这是一种口语的表达，
[04:56.39]所以语法结构不是十严谨，
[05:00.34]可理解为"结果… …(怎么怎么样)";
[05:03.70]一般情况下，turn out 会跟to be连用，
[05:07.25]表示一种出乎意料的结果，如，
[05:10.64]The giant turned out to be a dwarf.
[05:14.26]"那巨人结果是一个侏儒"。
[05:20.49] He took the C.O. aside for a whispered conference.
