兵的高招

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air.
由于生意方面的事，罗宾逊先生得出趟门。因为有点紧急，他决定坐飞机。

He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat.

There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one,

and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window;
令罗宾逊先生纳闷的是，这位士兵没有坐靠窗的位置。

but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
罗宾逊先生不管那些，他马上径直朝那个空座位走去。

When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it.
然而，等到了那儿，他看见座位上有则启事，

It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you."

Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before,
罗宾逊先生还从来没有在飞机上见过如此不同寻常的启事。

but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it,
不过，他想飞机上一定装了什么特别重的物品，

so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
于是他找了个不靠窗的位置。

Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier,

but they too read the notice and went on,
