一艘美国航母半夜在北美东北部巡航,碰到加拿大海军。
美国人发信号:“请把你们的航线向北移动15度,以免碰撞”。
加拿大人:“建议你们向南拐15度,以免碰撞”。
美国人:”这是美国舰队舰长。我重复一遍,改变你们的航线”。
加拿大人:“No。我重复一遍,你们改变你们的航线”。
美国人:”这是美国林肯号航母,美利坚合众国海军大西洋舰队第二大战舰,她有三艘驱逐舰,三艘巡洋舰和数不清的其它支援舰艇护航。我现在命令你
向北改变方向10度,否则后果自负。“
加拿大人:“这是灯塔。你爱咋滴就咋滴”。
原文:
A U.S. Aircraft Carrier is patrolling off the coast of Newfoundland. The captain comes in contact with a member of the Canadian navy.
Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."
Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."
Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."
Canadians: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course."
Americans: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP."
Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."
