?Very Pleased to Meet You

During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers.
在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中，有許多年輕的婦女在軍營中服役。瓊.飛利浦斯是其中之一。她在一個大軍營中工作，當(dāng)然遇到了許多男士，包括軍官和士兵。

One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, "I‘m going abroad tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could write to each other." Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months.
一天晚上她在舞會上遇到了軍官漢弗雷斯。他對她說，“我明天就要出國，但如果我們能夠相互寫信，我會很高興。”瓊同意了，于是他們幾個月里一直通著信。

Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England.
后來，他再沒有來信。她收到了另一個軍官的信，告訴她，他受傷了，住在英格蘭的某個部隊醫(yī)院里。

Joan went there and said to the matron, "I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys."
　
瓊到了醫(yī)院，她對護士長說，“我來看望軍官漢弗雷斯?！?/div>

"Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here," the matron said.
“這里只有親屬可以探望病人?！弊o士長說。

"Oh, that‘s all right," answered Joan. "I‘m his sister."
“噢，是的，”瓊說，“我是他的妹妹?！?/div>

"I‘m very pleased to meet you," the matron said, "I‘m his mother!"
“很高興認識你，”護士長說，“我是他的母親。”
