940　I was Libyan 我是利比亚人

A senior in high school, and a few years away from becoming a U.S. citizen, I received a recruiting call from the Army. After listening intently to how I would have my college tuition paid for, not to mention the many benefits of serving my country, I told the officer that while I was very interested, there was one problem: I was Libyan. “That's okay,” he answered understandingly. “We take liberals too.”

我在念高中最后一年的时候，离当美国公民还差几年。我接到从陆军招募办公室打来的电话。我仔细听他讲军队会为我付大学学费，加上为自己的国家服务的诸多好处。我告诉那位长官，我对此很感兴趣，但是有一个问题：我是利比亚人。他很理解地说：“没关系，我们也收民主党的人。”（民主党liberals和利比亚声音相近。）
