After joining the Navy, I underwent a physical. During the exam, it was discovered that I couldn't fully extend my arms above my head. Perplexed, the doctor conferred with another physician. “Let him pass,” said the second doctor. “I don't see any problems unless he has to surrender.”
参加海军以后我做了一次体检。在检查中发现我的双臂不能完全伸展超过头顶。医生有点为难,就找另一个医生商量。那个医生说:“让他通过吧。我看不出来有什么不妥,除非他不得不投降。”
