第一次世界大戰期間，一場大戰役正在進行。槍炮轟鳴，子彈橫飛。這樣持續了一小時後，有個士兵認為戰鬥太危險了，所以他離開前線，開始逃離戰場。走了一個小時後，他看見一個軍官朝他走過來。軍官攔住他，問道：「你到哪兒去？」

　　「長官，我正盡力躲開身後正在進行的戰鬥。」士兵回答說。

　　「你知道我是誰嗎？」軍官生氣地說：「我是你們的指揮官。」

　　士兵聽了十分驚訝地說：「天哪，真沒想到我已經往回跑了這麼遠!」

I Didn't Know That I Was So Far Back Already!

A big battle was going on during the First World War. Guns were firing, and shells and bullets were flying about everywhere. After an hour of this, one of the soldier decided that the fighting was getting too dangerous for him, so he left the front line and began to go away from the battle. After he had walked for an hour, he saw an officer coming towards him. The officer stopped him and said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm trying to get as far away as possible from the battle that's going on behind us, sir." the soldier answered.

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

The soldier was very surprised when he heard this and said, "My God, I didn't know that I was so far back already!"
