564　And just what time is that? 那到底是几点钟？

My wife never quite got the hang of the 24-hour military clock. One day she called the orderly room and asked to speak with me. The person who answered told her “He can be reached at 4700, ma'am.” With a sigh, my wife responded, “And just what time is that?”

我太太总也搞不清24小时军用时间表示法。有一天她打电话给勤务兵室，要求和我通话。接电话的人告诉她说：“夫人，你可以在4700分机找到他。”（这句的英语原文也可以理解为“你可以在47点00分找到他。”）我太太叹了一口气说：“那到底是几点钟？”
