哪位有闲的翻译一哈,但是得真懂英语的。

Dear Ma and Pa,

I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.

I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing.
Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.
We go on 'route marches,' which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A 'route march' is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.

The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.

This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.

Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake . I only beat him once.. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6' and 130 pounds and he's 6'8' and near 300 pounds dry.

Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in.

Your loving daughter,

作者真是个坏心眼的姐姐呢……
这跟当年我忽悠某小辈亲戚去当兵时所说的话惊人的相似啊……


爹,娘,
俺挺好的,你们也好巴?让娃哥和儿弟快快参军入陆战队,比给民奇那老帮子打工强太多了,迟了就没地儿了。

开始的时候我挺不习惯,因为差不多六点钟才能起床,不过现在好了,慢慢的我也习惯睡懒觉了。告诉娃哥和儿弟,吃早饭之前只需要铺一下炕、擦点东西,不用搅食啊、喂猪喂牛啊、劈柴啊、生火啊什么的,啥事儿都不用干。

男的得刮胡子,但是那也不是太糟糕啦,还有热水。早饭的零食挺多,果汁、麦片、鸡蛋、咸肉之类的狗皮,但是烤肉、烤土豆、煎茄子之类的主食很少,但是告诉娃哥和儿弟这没关系,你总是可以找两个离了咖啡没法活的城市小屁孩儿坐在一起,他们的早饭加上你自己的,再坚持一下,怎么着也熬到中饭了。难怪城市小屁孩儿没力气。

俺们经常去“拉练”,排长说这些长途行军是为了让俺们锻炼身体。他要那么说,我也没法儿说他不对,但是那些长途拉练也就是俺们家到信箱那么远。然后那些城市小屁孩儿脚上起水泡了,然后大家都坐上卡车回家。

排长跟俺们学校的老师似的,唠唠叨叨没完没了。上校象俺们校长,上尉和少校呢,坐着车来回转,作吓人的样子,不理丫的就完了。

对了,这得让娃哥和儿弟笑死:我老是得射击奖牌。我也不知道为什么,靶心跟山猴子脑袋那么大,呆在那儿不动,又不会象黑家那几个混小子那样打回来,俺就是舒舒服服的趴在那儿搂火就得,连子弹都不用一粒一粒自己装,整匣子装好的。

还有,他们叫做“徒手格斗”,跟那些城市小屁孩儿打架。我得很小心,丫们动不动就骨折什么的,跟在家的时候跟大水牛打架差远了。我差不多就是最牛的了,除了白银湖来的那个塔哥以外,我只赢过他一次。他跟我一起参军的,不过我是一米七120斤,丫的两米高250。

一定告诉娃哥和儿弟,赶紧来吧,要不邻村的都知道了,呼拉呼啦一窝蜂,就没地儿了。

深爱你们的女儿

爱丽丝

围观楼上。
感觉像是村里的二柱子写给家里的。{:2_71:}
要得,要得,能被忽悠成那样的也就一美国村妞的干活


为了避免小同学们被误导,澄清一哈:这是老美损山里人的笑话。

但是也不是完全扯淡,美国村民之村,是中国精英和崇洋孙子们无法相信的 -- 跟中国村民、粪青一样愚昧无知。

化外的翻译没治了.{:3_97:}
围观翻译官啊,你娃儿太油菜了
是真的吗?你给自己爸妈写信,谈到自己的兄弟,会说“我哥哥大栓,我弟弟三呆”吗?
推荐崇洋孙子和粪青认真学习.
刚到部队的时候,我肚子很小,后来,肚子就渐渐大起来了
BTW,我老人家刚喝酒跟一意大利人打架回来。中国的知识分子精英也许永远也不会明白(曾几何时我老人家也是中国知识分子精英之一),男人面对面,谁的几把硬谁就赢得尊敬,上下五千年、种族、现代文明、人权民主全是扯淡。
翻译的强,原信也很搞,"No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing.”
