325　Destruction of Government Property 破坏政府财产

I had the good fortune to be stationed in Hawaii—but the bad fortune to have fair skin. One day, after spending many hours under the hot sun, I reported back to duty with a terrible sunburn. Expecting sympathy, I was, instead, reprimanded by my superiors and then written up for “destruction of government property.”

我的好运气是驻守在夏威夷，但是坏运气是有白皙的皮肤。有一天，我在火热的太阳下工作了好几个小时，回来的时候皮肤被严重晒伤了。我期望得到同情，却反而被我的上司申斥，并且以“破坏政府财产”的罪名记录在案。
