THIS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE 我可是灯塔
It was a dark stormy night. The officer on the bridge came to the captain and said, “Captain, there is a light in our sea lane and they are not willing to move.”
“What do you mean they are not willing to move? Tell them to move. Tell them to starboard right now.”
The signal was sent out: “Starboard, starboard.” The signal came back: “Starboard yourself.”
“I can't believe this. What's going on here? Let them know who I am.” The signal was sent out, “This is the mighty Missouri, starboard.” The signal came back: “This is the lighthouse.”
一个漆黑的夜晚，风雨交加。驾驶室的长官跑来向船长汇报：“船长，我们的航道前方发现灯光，他们拒绝移开。”
“什么叫他们拒绝移开?让他们让开。让他们现在就向右转舵。”
我方信号发出：“右转舵，右转舵。”对方信号传回：“你们才应该右转舵。”
“难以置信。这是怎么搞的?向他们亮明身份。”我方信号传出：“我是巨轮密苏里号，请你右转舵!”对方信号传回：“我可是灯塔。”
