軍訓生活

You：We had military training in july this summer in Changping. For 15 days we stayed in a barracks and underwent military training. Day in and day out we had to get up at 5 o’clock in the morning, and then we went for a run or a walk.

今年7月份我們在昌平參加了軍訓，在軍營待了15天。我們每天早晨5點起床，然后是跑步或是行軍。

David：Did you get to shoot any guns?靶了嗎?

You：是的。That’s right.

David：That’s dangerous. 很危險呀。

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，其實是很有趣的。在軍訓期間，我們學會了很多。每天按照軍營里的要求整理內務，每天練習隊列隊形，學唱軍歌，打靶等等。總之，軍訓生活是痛并快樂著。

David：Sounds like fun. 起來很有意思嘛。

You：在美國呢?美國學生也有軍訓嗎?

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，沒有法定的軍訓;但是許多年輕人都自愿參軍。一些學生在高中畢業后就自愿參軍。部隊會對這些學生進行領導能力的訓練，并且為他們退役之后去上大學提供獎學金。
