My battery commander and I were interviewing candidates for a position as reconnaissance sergeant in our artillery unit. The selected soldier needed to have keen eyesight,plus the ability to react quickly. During one interview,the commander pointed to a hill about a mile away and asked a young sergeant,"Can you see that hill over there?"
炮兵司令和我一起给一群申请去好外炮兵部做侦察员的报名者面试。能胜任这个职务的人必须眼力好,反应快.在面试中,司令指着一英里外的一座小山问一个年轻的军士:
“你能看到那座山吗?”
"Yes,sir, "he replied.
“是的,长官.”他回答。
"Can you see the radio antenna on that hi11?"Again, the soldier said that he could." Well,then," the commander went on,”can you see the bird sitting on the antenna?"
“你能看到山上的雷达天线吗?”
The sergeant leaned forward and squinted.”No,sir,”he said,"but I can hear it singing.“
“是的,长官。”他又一次回答.
He got the job.
“那好,”司令继续说:“你能看见天线上有只鸟吗?”
这名军士把身体往前倾了倾,眯起眼睛,“不,长官,”他说,“但我听得见它在叫.”
