Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being
trained in modern ways of fighting, and one of the things they were
shown was how an unarmed man could t rick an armed enemy and take
his weapon away from him．First one of their two instructors took a knife
away from the other, using only his bare hands; and then he took a rifle
away from him in the same way．
最近参军的一些年轻士兵正在接受现代战争的训练，他们所展示的 其中一件
事是，一个手无寸铁的人如何能欺骗一个武装的敌人，把他的武器从他手中拿走。
两 名教官中的一名教官先徒手从另一名教官手里拿走一把刀。然后他用同样的方
法从他身上取下了一把步枪 。
After the lesson, and before they went on to train the young soldiers
to do these things themselves, the two instructors asked them a number of
questions to see how well they had understood what they had been
shown．One of the questions was this: “Well, you now know what an
unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle．Imagine that you are
guarding a bridge at night, and that you have a rifle．Suddenly you see an
unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you．What will you do？”
课结束后，在他们训练年轻士兵自己做这些事情之 前，两位教官问了他们一
些问题，看他们是如何理解他们所展示的东西的。其中一个问题是：“现在你知
道一个手无寸铁的人能对付一个带枪的人。想象你正在夜里守着一座桥，而且你
有步枪。突然你 看到一个手无寸铁的敌兵向你走来，你会怎么做？”
The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully
for a few seconds before he answered, and then said, “Well, after what I
have just seen, I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of
my rifle as quickly as I could, so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it
from me and kill me with it!”

回答这个问题的年轻士兵在回答 之前仔细思考了几秒钟，然后说，“嗯，在
我看到后，我认为我要做的第一件事就是尽快摆脱我的步枪， 这样，手无寸铁的
敌人就无法从我手中夺走步枪然后杀我了！”
