直到晚餐时,凌陌才有些回过神来,她只是安慰自己多想了,也因此,她错过了第一时间的治疗机会。
晚餐后,凌陌开始和另一个人统计起她所在区域的人口数,及青壮年,妇女,儿童,老弱病残,流民等类型的人口数量。
她其实也不太相信,两年了,这片区域的人口普查都还没有完成,但也因此,她的长官派她和另一个人一起去协助人口普查员,同时结合政府的人口普查员以及原有资料,这项工作应该最快两周就可以完成了。
“Why hasn't the census project been completed? At least the government departments here have been established for two years?”(为什么这里的人口普查项目还没有完成?起码这里的政府部门也已经建立两年了吧?)
凌陌旁边的人抱怨着,他似乎对此很不满,“Do government departments eat dry food? Two years is not enough.”(政府部门是吃干饭的吗?两年时间都完不成。)
“Work more and talk less.”(多干活,少说话)
凌陌淡淡的说到,手里的笔没有停下来的迹象,依旧飞快的在纸面上记录着信息。
“Oh! Come on! I have to keep my eyes on the computer, and you are writing on the desk with paper and pen. Which one do you think is more tired? And why can't you even use the computer?”
(哦!拜托!我得盯着电脑一直记录,而你是拿着纸和笔在桌子上写,你觉得哪个更累点?还有为什么你连电脑都不会用?)
“You know, complaining doesn't make your job easier. In addition, I can use computer, of course, limited to some simple aspects.”(你要知道,抱怨并不能使你的工作减轻。另外说明一下,我会用电脑,当然,仅限于一些简单的方面。)
凌陌停下笔,“I have finished my work. Good luck.”(我的工作完成了,祝你好运)
“What? Wait! Did you copy it so fast?”(什么?等等!你这么快就抄完了?)
“Of course, is there a problem?”(当然,有问题吗?)
“Your efficiency is amazing.”(您的办事效率还真是令人震惊。)
然而凌陌却开了一个不合时宜的玩笑。
“I'm flattered. Of course, it doesn't affect my ideal desire to ask your immediate supervisor for another partner. Don't be too nervous. I'm kidding.”(过奖了,当然,这并不会影响到我向你的顶头上司要求换一个搭档的理想愿望。不要太紧张,我开玩笑呢。)
“You can't be kidding, ma'am.”(你可真不会开玩笑,女士。)
“As a matter of fact, although I don't mind the problem of address, I still have to correct one point: for unmarried women, it is better not to address women as ladies.”(事实上,虽然我不太介意称呼方面的问题,但我仍要纠正一点,对未婚女性,还是不要称呼女士的好。)
“What? Unmarried? My God, it seems that you are not pure Caucasian, your knowledge of our culture is only superficial, but this will not affect my respect for you.”(什么?未婚?我的上帝啊,看来您并不是纯种的白种人,您对于我们文化的了解丝毫还只在皮毛上,但这并不会影响到我对于您的尊重。)
凌陌挑了挑眉毛,语气开始有些犀利。
“Malicious provocation is not good for you, Corporal.”(恶意挑衅对你没好处,下士。)
“Come on, man, I didn't mean to. Forgive me, okay?”(拜托,老兄,我不是有意的,原谅我,好吗?)
“So, what are you trying to prove?”(所以,你想证明点什么?)
下士面不改色的转过身子继续敲电脑,一副无事发生过的样子。
“All right, look at the damn form. F one, F two, F you.”(好吧好吧,看看这该死的表格,F一,F二,F你。这都没看出来啥意思的可以尝试在纽约街头直接大喊一句F you。)
下士似乎是在抱怨着电脑的表格,面部表情却似有似无的有些嘲讽的意思。
凌陌抱着胸,冷冷的看着他。
“Elite special defense force?”(菁英特种防卫部队?)
下士在听到凌陌提起这个名字的时候瞬间就转过身危险的看着她,金色的瞳孔里充满了怒火。
“I advise you to take care of yourself, hybrid bastard! The elite special defense force is not something you can mention!”(我劝你好自为之,混血杂种!菁英特种防卫部队可不是你能提起的!)
凌陌对此的行动则是头也不回的走出了帐篷。
