105.Injured at pearl harbor
105·在珍珠港受伤
While vacationing in the Hawaiian Islands, I visited the World War II memorial atop the sunken U. S. battleship Arizona，a monument to those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor. On board, I slipped on a stair-way and injured my thumb.
在夏威夷岛度假时，我参观了二战纪念馆。这个馆建在战争中被打沉的美军战舰Arizona号上，以纪念那些在珍珠港战斗中死亡的将士们。参观完上岸时，我在台阶上滑了一跤，把拇指划破了。
Back home，with the thumb still not healing properly，I called my doctor for an appointment. When I was asked the nature of my illness，I thought I' d give the background and began,"I was injured at Pearl Harbor..."
回到家后，我的拇指仍然没有愈合。于是，我预约了大夫。去看大夫时，我需要说清受伤的原因。我觉得要想把话说清楚必须要从头讲起，于是我这样开了头:“在珍珠港，我
受了伤……，，
" Well，”the nurse interrupted.“It took you long enough to report it !"
“噢，”护士打断了我的话说，“怎气过了这么多年，你才把它说出来?”
