So Far Back Already | 我已经往回跑了这么远

English Original

A fierce battle raged during the First World War. Guns thundered, and shells and bullets flew everywhere. After enduring this for an hour, one soldier decided the fighting had become too dangerous. He left the front line and began retreating from the battle.

After walking for an hour, he saw an officer approaching. The officer stopped him and demanded, "Where are you going?"

"I'm trying to get as far away as possible from the battle behind us, sir," the soldier replied.

"Do you know who I am?" the officer said angrily. "I'm your commanding officer."

The soldier was astonished and exclaimed, "My God, I didn't know I was so far back already!"

第一次世界大战期间,一场激战正酣。炮声隆隆,炮弹子弹四处横飞。忍受了一个小时后,一名士兵认定战斗变得过于危险。他离开前线,开始从战场上撤退。

步行了一小时后,他看到一名军官迎面走来。军官拦住他质问道:“你要去哪儿?”

“长官,我正试图尽可能远离我们身后的战斗,”士兵回答。

“你知道我是谁吗?”军官生气地说,“我是你的指挥官。”

士兵大吃一惊,惊呼道:“天哪,我没想到我已经往回跑了这么远了!”
