558　You're free to go 你可以走了

Mike was assigned to wax the floors of their barracks. He'd heard that if the wax is really hot, it would just glide across the floor, cutting the labor time in half. Unfortunately, as he was heating the can of wax with a cigarette lighter, it caught on fire, setting off alarms and attracting firetrucks, ambulances and the police. Mike had to report to his sergeant's office immediately. Assuming he was in big trouble, he took a deep breath as he faced his superior. But before Mike could say a word, the sergeant simply muttered, “Been there, done that. You're free to go.”

麦克被指派去给营房的地板打蜡。他听说，如果蜡很热的话就会沿着地板流动，可以节省一半时间。不幸的是，在他用打火机加热蜡罐的时候着火了。警报响了，引来了救火车、救护车、警车。麦克不得不立即向中士报告。他知道自己闯了大祸，深深吸了一口气，去面对他的上司。不料，没等他说一个字，中士轻描淡写地说：“你在那里，干了那个。你可以走了。”
