A West Point Visit | 西点军校见闻

English Original

My father, brother, and I visited West Point to watch a football game between Army and Boston College. Before kickoff, we took a stroll and encountered many cadets in neatly pressed uniforms. Several visiting fans asked the recruits to pose for photographs, saying, "We want to show our son what to expect if he attends West Point."

One middle-aged couple approached a very attractive female cadet and asked her to pose for a picture. They explained, "We want to show our son what he missed by not coming to West Point."


中文翻译

我和父亲、兄弟一同前往西点军校,观看陆军与波士顿学院之间的橄榄球比赛。开球前,我们漫步校园,遇到了许多身着笔挺制服的学员。几位来访的球迷请求这些新学员合影,并说道:“我们想给儿子看看,如果他来西点军校,将会经历什么。”

一对中年夫妇走近一位非常引人注目的女学员,请她合影。他们解释道:“我们想给儿子看看,他没来西点军校错过了什么。”
