David:Did you get to shoot any guns?靶了嗎?
You:是的。That’s right.
David:That’s dangerous. 很危險(xiǎn)呀。
You:No, in fact, military training is interesting. We learned many things. Everyday we would make our beds and clean our rooms by military standards. We also ran, marched, sang songs, and finally shot guns. Milirary training is difficult yet fun. 不,其實(shí)是很有趣的。在軍訓(xùn)期間,我們學(xué)會(huì)了很多。每天按照軍營(yíng)里的要求整理內(nèi)務(wù),每天練習(xí)隊(duì)列隊(duì)形,學(xué)唱軍歌,打靶等等??傊?,軍訓(xùn)生活是痛并快樂著。
David:Sounds like fun. 起來很有意思嘛。
You:在美國(guó)呢?美國(guó)學(xué)生也有軍訓(xùn)嗎?
David:In the United States, there is no mandatory military training, but many young Americans voluntarily register with the military. Some students register after graduating from high school. The military can give the students leadership training as well as scholarships for college when they leave. 美國(guó),沒有法定的軍訓(xùn);但是許多年輕人都自愿參軍。一些學(xué)生在高中畢業(yè)后就自愿參軍。部隊(duì)會(huì)對(duì)這些學(xué)生進(jìn)行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力的訓(xùn)練,并且為他們退役之后去上大學(xué)提供獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。
