514　The Buddy System 互助系统

I was talking on the phone with my son, who was stationed in Hawaii. He was explaining how the troops were learning to scuba-dive. They used the buddy system, he said, and occasionally dived into shark-infested waters. Listening on the extension, my daughter asked, “What do you do when you see a shark?” Said my son, “Swim faster than my buddy.”

我和驻军在夏威夷的儿子通电话。他正在解释他们部队怎样学习用自携式呼吸器潜水。他说，他们采用互助系统，偶尔也到有鲨鱼出没的海域去潜水。这时候，用分机听着的女儿插话问：“那你要是看到鲨鱼来怎么办？”我儿子说：“比我的同伴游得快一点。”
