515　Earth 地球

Nights in England are coal black, making parachute jumps difficult and dangerous. So we attach small lights called chemlites to our jumpsuits to make ourselves visible to the rest of our team. Late one night, lost after a practice jump, we knocked on the door of a small cottage. When a woman answered, she was greeted by the sight of five men festooned in glowing chemlites. “Excuse me,” I said. “Can you tell me where we are?” In a thick English accent, the woman replied, “Earth.”

英国的夜晚是漆黑的，使得跳伞既困难又危险。因此，我们在每个人的伞具上绑一个小小的化学灯，使我们能互相看得见。一天深夜，我们在演习跳伞之后迷了路，就去敲一家农舍的门。一个妇人来应门，看到五个点缀着闪光化学灯的人。我说：“对不起，你能不能告诉我这是什么地方？”妇人用浓厚的英国口音说：“地球。”
