A big battle was going on during the First World War．Guns were firing， and shells and bullets were flying about everywhere．After an hour of this， one of the soldiers decidedthat the fighting was getting too dangerous for him， so he leftthe front line and began to go away from the battle． After hehad walked for an hour，he saw an officer coming towardshim． The officer stopped him and said，“ where are you going？”

　　“I'm trying to get as far away as possible from the battlethat's going on behind us， sir，” the soldier answered．

　　“Do you know who I am？” the officer said to him angrily．“I'm your commanding officer．”

　　The soldier was very surprised when he heard this and said，“My God，I didn't know that I was so far back already！”

　　第一次世界大戰期間，一場大戰役正在進行。槍炮轟鳴，炮彈和子彈到處亂飛。這樣過了一個小時后，一個士兵認定戰斗對他來說變得太危險了，所以他離開前線開始逃離戰場。步行了一個小時之后，他看見一個軍官向他走過來。那軍官叫住他說：“你要到哪兒去？”

　　“長官，我正盡可能遠地躲開我們身后正在進行的戰役，”士兵回答說。

　　“你知道我是誰嗎？”軍官生氣地對他說：“我是你的指揮官。”

　　那士兵聽到此話感到非常驚訝，說：“天哪，我想不到我已經往回跑了這么遠了！”
