531　Returned from the Middle East 从中东回来

My wife returned from a duty in the Middle East. To celebrate, I decided to take her out for a night. Proud of her service record, I suggested she wear her uniform. Not only did a patriotic taxi driver refuse to accept money from us, but an appreciative citizen paid for her meal at the restaurant, and the theater manager upgraded our balcony seats to the orchestra. At the end of the evening, I turned to my wife. “I still get credit for taking you out, right?”

为了庆祝我太太从中东执行任务回来，我决定带她出去玩一个晚上。我为她的服务记录感到骄傲，就建议她穿上军装。结果，一个爱国的出租汽车司机拒绝收我们的钱，餐馆里一个感激的公民为她付账，剧院的经理把我们从包厢升格为乐队座位。晚上回来的时候，我问我太太：“我带你出来玩还是有功劳的，对吧？”
