The Best Reward | 最好的奖赏

English Original

A naval officer fell overboard. He was rescued by a deck hand. The officer asked how he could reward him.

"The best way, sir," said the deck hand, "is to say nothing about it. If the other fellows knew I'd pulled you out, they'd chuck me in."


中文翻译

一名海军军官落水了。他被一名甲板水手救起。军官问他该如何报答。

“最好的方式,长官,”甲板水手说,“就是对此事只字不提。如果其他伙计知道是我把您拉上来的,他们会把我扔下去的。”
