There were men soldiers and women soldiersin an army camp, and every Sunday morning they all went to church, but a lot of the soldiers did not like it much. There was a choir of men soldiers, and Captain Jones was trying to find women soldiers to sing in it too, but none of the ones in the camp offered to do this.
在一个军营里，有男兵和女兵，每个星期天的上午，他们都去教堂，但是许多士兵不太喜欢去。有一个男兵唱诗班，琼斯上尉正在设法找些女兵也在里面唱歌，但是军营里没有一个人主动参加。
Then one day Captain Jones saw a new girlsoldier. She was a tall, very beautiful girl. Captain Jones went to her and said, “Will you come and sing in the choir at our church, please?”
后来有一天，琼斯上尉看见一位新女兵。她是个非常漂亮的高个子女孩。琼斯上尉走到她面前说：“请你来我们教堂唱诗班唱歌，好吗？”
The girl was very surprised and said, “But, sir, I can’t sing at all.”
女孩很吃惊，说道：“可是，长官，我一点都不会唱。”
“Oh, that’s all right,” answered Captain Jones. “That doesn’t matter at all. You don’t need to sing: I only want someone to keep the men soldiers looking in front of them when they are in the church.”
“哦，那不要紧，”琼斯上尉回答。“那一点关系都没有。你用不着唱歌：我只是想让这些男兵在教堂里的时候往前面看罢了。”
