When I tell people that I am an explosive ordnance disposal technician, I usually need to go into further detail about what I do. Once I was with my eight-year-old son when I was explaining my job to someone. “I defuse live bombs,” I said. “Yeah,” my son added. “If you see him running, you'd better catch up!”
每當我告訴別人,我是一個爆炸性軍械排除技師的時候,常常需要進一步解釋我是干什么的。有一次,我和我八歲的兒子在一起的時候,向別人解釋我是干什么的。我說:“我拆除活的炸彈。”我兒子接口說:“如果你們看見他跑的話,你們最好趕上去。”
