595　Navy and Marine 海军和海军陆战队

At the maritime museum we occasionally use midshipmen to do the “dirty work” of restoring a 100-year-old cruiser. One day the Navy sent a crew of 20 men, while the Marines sent a crew of three. Teasing one Navy midshipman, I said, “You mean it takes twenty Navy guys to do the work of only three Marines?” “Sir, no, sir,” he snapped back. “The truth is, sir, it takes six or seven of us to supervise each one of those Marines!”

在海事博物馆我们有时候使用海军学校的学生来做恢复百岁巡洋舰的“脏活”。有一天，海军派来了20个人，而海军陆战队只派来三个。我取笑一个海军学校的学生说：“你是说要20个海军的人才能抵得上三个海军陆战队员？”他反击说：“不，长官，不是这样。事实上，是要六七个海军的人才能管得住一个海军陆战队员。”
