After two weeks of Air Force basic training, I called home.
"You wouldn't believe how strict they are," I complained. "They even give demerits for things like not hanging your towel straight or not tightening the cap of your toothpaste properly."
"Well, dear," my mom responded, "don't think of it as basic training. Think of it as Mother's revenge."
经过两周的空军基础训练，我给家里打了个电话。
“你简直无法相信他们有多严格，”我抱怨道，“他们甚至会因为毛巾没挂直或者牙膏盖没拧紧这种小事而扣分。”
“好了，亲爱的，”我妈妈回应道，“别把它看作是基础训练。把它看作是妈妈的‘报复’吧。”
