881　That chute is yours 这个降落伞就是你的

While being transported to basic training as a new enlistee of the Air National Guard, I accidentally opened a parachute in the rear of the C-47. I felt intimidated as I opened the cockpit door to confess what I had done. Expecting to be severely chastised, I was surprised by the captain's calm response. “Well, son,” he said, “if this plane goes down, that chute is yours.”

我刚加入空军国家卫队，被送去参加基本训练。在C47运输机的后部，我意外地打开了一个降落伞。我忐忑不安地打开驾驶舱的门，去承认我干了什么。我以为会受到严厉的训斥，出乎意料的是机长平静的反应。他说：“嗯，孩子。如果这架飞机掉下去，这个降落伞就是你的。”
