第一次世界大战期间, 一场大战役正在进行．枪炮轰鸣, 子弹横飞．這样持续了一小时后, 有个士兵认为战斗太危险了, 所以他离开前线, 开始逃离战场．走了一个小时后, 他看见一个军官朝他走过來．军官拦住他, 問道: ＂你到哪儿去？＂

　　＂长官, 我正尽力躲开身后正在进行的战斗．＂士兵回答說．

　　＂你知道我是谁吗？＂军官生气地說: ＂我是你們的指挥官．＂

　　士兵听了十分惊讶地說: ＂天哪, 真没想到我已经往回跑了這么远!＂

　　I Didn't Know That I Was So Far Back Already!

　　A big battle was going on during the First World War. Guns were firing, and shells and bullets were flying about everywhere. After an hour of this, one of the soldier decided that the fighting was getting too dangerous for him, so he left the front line and began to go away from the battle. After he had walked for an hour, he saw an officer coming towards him. The officer stopped him and said, ＂Where are you going?＂

　　＂I'm trying to get as far away as possible from the battle that's going on behind us, sir.＂ the soldier answered.

　　＂Do you know who I am?＂ the officer said to him angerly. ＂I'm your commanding officer.＂

　　The soldier was very surprised when he heard this and said, ＂My God, I didn't know that I was so far back already!＂
