Put That Ring Back On | 把戒指戴回去

English Original

During World War II, I found that my wedding ring was being damaged by the use of my GI trenching shovel, so I took it off and placed it on my dog-tag chain.

After being promoted from corporal to staff sergeant, I sent my wife a photo of myself wearing the new stripes. Instead of congratulations, the letter I got back contained just five words: "PUT THAT RING BACK ON!"


中文翻译

二战期间,我发现我的结婚戒指因为使用军用挖壕铁铲而受损,于是便把它取下来,挂在了我的身份识别牌链子上。

从下士晋升为中士后,我给自己拍了一张戴着新军衔条纹的照片寄给妻子。然而,我收到的回信里没有祝贺,只有五个字:“把戒指戴回去!”
