553　Keep your mouth shut 闭嘴

During basic training one lesson stood out from all the others: Keep your mouth shut unless given permission to talk. I didn't realize how well our instructors had hammered this point home until that evening when we sat down to eat. My table mate started her evening prayer with, “God, request permission to pray.”

在基本训练阶段，在所有的功课中最突出的一项就是：闭嘴，除非允许你说话。可是，一直到那天晚上我们坐下来吃晚饭的时候，我才意识到教官给我们留下的印象有多深刻。我的同桌开始她的谢饭祷告的第一句是：“上帝，求你允许我祷告。”
