中英文小故事：退伍军人
英国陆军上校在伦敦牛津街散步, 忽然他看见一个没有胳膊,没有腿的人坐在人行道上吹奏口琴。
旁边的标志写着,“ 福克兰群岛战争的受害者。”
"多么可耻呀，是吗?“上校说，“国家就是用这样的方式对待它的退伍军人。”说着,他掏出他的钱包并抽出二百五十英镑纸币,然后把它们放入了退伍军人的帽子。
老兵抬头看了看,说:“谢谢你,绅士。”
A British Army Colonel was walking down Oxford Street in London, when he saw a man with no arms and no legs sitting on the pavement playing a mouth organ.
A sign beside the chap read, 'Victim of the Falklands War.'
'I say how disgraceful, eh?' said the colonel, 'the way the country treats its veterans.' So saying, he pulled out his wallet and peeled off two fifty pound notes and dropped them in the ex-soldier's hat.
The veteran looked up and said, 'Muchas gracias, senor.'
