Let the Chicken Live | 让鸡活着吧

English Original

As the new food-service officer at a recruit training center, I wanted to make my mark. The menu was heavy on red meat, so I devised a new one to reduce cholesterol. I substituted chicken for beef and awaited comments from the suggestion box.

The first response summed up the recruits' feelings. It read simply: "Let the chicken live."


中文翻译

作为新兵训练中心新上任的后勤服务长官,我想做出点成绩。由于菜单上红肉过多,我设计了一份新菜单,用鸡肉代替牛肉,以降低胆固醇。随后,我等待着意见箱里的反馈。

第一条意见就概括了新兵们的心声,上面简单地写着:“让鸡活着吧。”
