An army general telephoned to his unit in another place wanting to speak to someone. He said, Hello!
There was a soldier, playing like a sergeant1 or something, at the other end of the line. He didn't recognize the voice of the high general commander in chief. He said, Hello! Are you okay? Are you all right? What's up, doc? We should go out drinking again sometime2. All right?
So the general shouts at the TOP of his voice, Do you know who are you talking with? Shut up!
Suddenly, it was quiet for a long time at the other end of the line. Then he asked, Who is it? Who's speaking?.
The general said, I'm the General, Commander in Chief of your unit.
There was a longer pause3, greater silence; and the other end said, Do you recognize who's speaking to you also?
The general said, No, who are you? The soldier said, Oh, very lucky for me that you didn't! Good bye!
有一位将军，打电话到另一个地方给他下属的一个单位，要和某个人通话，他说：喂！
在电话另一端的是一个士官之类的人，他听不出这位总司令的声音，他说：喂，你怎么样？出了什么事啊？大家找时间一块出去喝夜店！
这个将军在电话里拉开嗓门大吼：你了解你在跟哪个说话吗？住嘴！忽然间，电话的另一端安静了好长一段时间，然后才听到士兵开口问：是哪个在说话？
将军说：我是你们单位的总司令。
又是一个更长的沉默，然后另一端说话了：你听得出是哪个在告诉你话吗？将军说：不了解，你是哪个？
这名士兵说：喔，你不了解，我太幸运了，再见！
