540　Go to war 上战场

When my Navy Medical Reserve Unit was called up for Operation Desert Storm, I was awakened by a phone call at three o'clock on a Sunday morning with the order to report for duty in four hours. After I hung up the phone, my husband groggily asked, “Who was that?” “Oh, honey,” I moaned, thinking of our 15-month-old child, “I have to go to war!” “Don't worry,” he said as he rolled over, “It's Sunday, and the traffic won't be bad.”

当我的海军医疗预备队被命令参加沙漠风暴行动的时候，星期天凌晨三点钟，电话把我叫醒，命令我在四个小时之内报到。我挂上电话，我丈夫迷迷糊糊地问我是谁来的电话。我想着刚满15个月的孩子，抱怨地说：“亲爱的，我不得不上战场了。”他一边翻身，一边说：“别担心。今天是星期天，路上没什么车。”
