555　Decorating the lawn 布置大草坪

We were expecting a visit from a prominent four-star general. I was in charge of decorating the lawn in front of the building where the festivities were going to be held. I arranged to have an old, retired tank and some fake land mines placed near the entrance. One uninformed passer-by paused, looked over the scene and remarked, “Gee, I guess they're really serious about not wanting us to walk on the grass.”

我们准备迎接一位战功显赫的四星上将来访。我负责楼前大草坪的布置，我们要在大草坪上举行各种庆典活动。我精心安排在入口处放一辆退役的旧坦克和一些废弃的地雷。一个不知情的过路人停下来，看了看周围情景，评论说：“天哪，我想他们是较真不让我们从草坪上走了。”
