511　Anticipate a ride in the jeep 指望坐上吉普车

One month into Marine Corps training we were preparing for a ten-mile march in 100-degree weather when a jeep drove up with a large radio in the back. “Who knows anything about radios?” our drill instructor asked. Several hands went up, and anticipating a ride in the jeep, recruits began listing their credentials. Everything from a degree in communications to a part-time job in a repair shop was declared. The DI listened to all the contenders, then pointed to the most qualified. “You,” he barked. “Carry the radio.”

参加海军陆战队特种部队训练已经一个月。我们正准备在华氏一百度的气温下进行十英里行军。一辆吉普车开上来，后面装着一台好大的无线电台。我们的训练指挥问：“谁懂一点无线电？”指望能够坐上吉普车，好几只手举起来，新兵们开始列举他们的资格，从通讯学位到业余时间在修理铺工作，都报出来了。训练指挥倾听了所有的资格，然后指着最有资格的人大吼一声：“你！把无线电台背上。”
