Five Months Older
The Second
World War had begun, and John wanted to join the
army, but he was
only 16 years old, and
boys were allowed to join only if they were over
18. So when
the army doctor examined
him, he said that he was 18.
But
John
‘
s brother had joined
the army a few days before, and the same doctor
had
examined him too. This doctor
remembered the older boy
‘
s
family name, so when he
saw
John
‘
s papers, he was
surprised.
“How old are you?” he said.
“Eighteen, sir,” said Jo
hn.
“But your brother was eighteen, too,”
said the doctor. “Are you twins?”
“Oh, no, sir,” said John, and his face
went red. “My brother is five months older
than I am.”
大五个月
第二次
世界大战开始了，约翰想参军，可他只有十六岁，当时规定男孩到十
八岁才能入伍。所以
军医给他进行体检时，他说他已经十八岁了。
可约翰的哥哥刚入伍没几天，而且
也是这个军医给他做的检查。这位医生还
记得他哥哥的姓。所以当他看到约翰的表格时，
感到非常惊奇。
“
你多大了
?”
军医问。
“
十八，
长官。
”
约翰说。
“
可你的哥哥也是十八岁，你们是双胞胎吗
?”
约
翰脸红了，说：
“
哦，不是，长官，我哥哥比我大五个月。
