(单词翻译:单击)

The squad1(班,小队) were having "visual training". One smart recruit(新兵,招募) was asked by the officer to count how many men composed a digging party in a distant field. The party was so far away that the men appeared as mere2 dots, but unhesitatingly the recruit replied:

"Sexteen men and a sergeant3(军士) , sir."

"Right, but how do you know there's a sergeant there?"

"He's not doing any digging, sir."
