有一位夫人陪伴她的丈夫驻扎在人烟稀少的沙漠陆军基地。丈夫奉命去演习,留她一个人在火炉一般的铁皮房子里。天气热得让人承受不住,在仙人掌的阴影下,气温依然持续在华氏一百二十五度左右。无人可以聊天,因为当地没有人会说她的国语。她难过极了、痛哭流涕写信给她父母,说要丢开一切回家去。 A lady who accompanied her husband was stationed in a sparsely populated Desert Army base. Her husband was ordered to exercise, leaving her alone in a tin stove house. The weather was so overwhelmingly hot that under the shadow of cacti, the temperature continued to be around 125 degrees Fahrenheit. No one can chat because no one in the area speaks her Mandarin. She was sad, cried and wrote to her parents, saying she was going to throw away everything and go home.
