518　Confuzing Names 困扰的名字

The base's public-address system is the simplest way to call the troops—just shout out the soldiers' names, tell them where they're needed, and they'll hustle right over. But there was some head-turning the day I summoned these two privates to assist the chaplain: “Pope, Paul, please report to the orderly room.”

在军事基地找人最简单方法是采用公用地址系统：喊士兵的名字，告诉他们哪里需要他们，然后他们就会很快过去。但是，有一天我传唤两个士兵去帮助驻军牧师的时候，好多人都回头来看。我喊的是：“Pope，Paul到文书室报到。”（注：Pope和Paul是两个人的名字，但是连在一起就是教皇保罗。）
