575　Jewish of the Week 这个星期的犹太人

During basic training, our drill sergeant asked all Jewish personnel to make themselves known. Six of us tentatively raised our hands. Much to our relief, we were given the day off for Rosh Hashanah. A few days later, in anticipation of Yom Kippur, the sergeant again asked for all Jewish personnel to identify themselves. This time, every soldier raised his hand. “Only those who were Jewish last week can be Jewish this week,” declared the sergeant.

在基本训练期间，我们的训练军士让所有的犹太人都举手。我们六个人犹犹豫豫地举起了手。结果使我们大大松了一口气，原来是给我们放假一天，庆祝犹太新年。过了几天是犹太人的赎罪日，训练军士又让所有的犹太人都举手。这一次，所有的士兵都举起了手。训练军士宣布说：“只有上个星期是犹太人的，这个星期才可以当犹太人。”
