At the canteen on base, we sold snacks, coffee and soda for 25 cents. One night, we decided to charge officers 50 cents. It was explained away as a “Sir charge.”
在我們軍事基地的食堂里,點(diǎn)心、咖啡和軟飲料售價(jià)25美分。一天晚上,我們決定把賣給軍官的價(jià)格調(diào)高到50美分。人們把它解釋為“軍官附加費(fèi)”。(注:Sir charge和surcharge附加費(fèi)同音。Sir是對(duì)軍官的尊稱。)
