482　The war is still not over 南北战争还没有结束

There was a historical marker in West Virginia commemorating the Civil War. One day when an oncoming bus was taking too wide a turn, I swerved my car out of the way, accidentally clipped the sign and broke it. I called the state police to report the damage. The trooper asked, “Who won that battle?” “The Union,” I replied. “Well, don't worry about it,” he said, and hung up. Apparently the war is still not over.

在西弗吉尼亚有一个历史性的标志纪念美国南北战争。有一天,迎面开来的大客车拐弯太大,我急忙躲避的时候撞到这个标志，把它撞断了。我打电话给州警察局，报告这个事故。警察问我：“那场战争谁赢了？”我回答说：“联军赢了。”“好，那就不用担心了。”说完就挂了。看来，南北战争还没有结束。
