        In 1943, I was 19 years old and worked at a barbecue located about a mile from my home. 1943年（时值第二次世界大战），当时我只有19岁，在离家一英里的烧烤店工作。
        It was a beautiful, warm June night, so I decided to walk home from work rather than take a bus.那是一个美好温暖的六月夜晚，于是我决定不坐公交车而是步行回家。
        As I walked up the back porch steps, I heard a male voice: “Kiss me, or I’ll scream.” 当我正准备走上屋后门廊的台阶，听到一个男性的声音：“亲吻我，不然我就尖叫。”
        After my initial shock, I turned around to see a young soldier in an Army uniform. 一开始我感到非常害怕，等我转过头我看到一名身着军装的年轻士兵。
        I kissed him softly on the cheek. 我在他的脸颊上轻轻地吻了一下。
        He smiled. 他微笑了。
        “Thank you,” he said, and walked off into the night.然后他说：“谢谢你。”接着就走入了夜幕之中。
