征服英語 - 古德明
善良的倭奴 - 古德明
Following Pearl Harbor, a wave of anti-Japanese feeling swept through the United States. Glenn Gray, who served in the American army from1941 to1945, recounted the following incident:"When a Japanese soldier was flushed from his hiding place, the unit was resting and joking. But they seized their rifles and began using him as a live target while he dashed frantically around the clearing in search of safety. The soldiers found his movements uproariously funny, and were prevented by their laughter from making an early end of the unfortunate man. Finally, they succeeded in killing him, and the incident cheered the whole platoon."
A popular wartime saying in the United States was"the only good Jap is a dead Jap". In1943, the United States Marine monthly magazine ran a photograph of Japanese corpses on Guadalcanal* with a heading reading:"Good Japs".
珍珠港事件之後，仇日情緒瀰漫美國。格倫．格雷一九四一至一九四五年間在美國陸軍服役，記述了以下故事：「一個日本士兵，在藏身處給趕了出來。我們那支軍隊本來在休息，有說有笑，這時都拿起來福槍，把這日本兵當作活靶，見他在那片空地上拚命四處跑，想找個安全處藏身，感到非常有趣，笑得無法早點送這可憐傢伙歸西。最後，他們還是殺了那日本兵。整排軍隊都因此大為高興。」
戰時，美國一句流行話是：「唯一善良的倭奴，就是死了的倭奴。」一九四三年，美國海軍陸戰隊月刊發表了瓜達爾卡納爾島*上日軍屍體的照片，標題是：「善良的倭奴。」
*瓜達爾卡納爾島是太平洋西南部所羅門群島之中最大的島嶼，一九四二年八月，盟軍登陸該島，與島上三萬日軍激戰。
賽 跑 - 古德明
During the Zulu War of 1879, a British officer, Smith-Dorrien, one day went out inspecting the country alone, and had got several miles from camp when he was suddenly attacked by a body of Zulus. He set spurs to his horse, and was soon galloping away, with the enemy after him.
After riding some distance, he came upon an officer on foot, and allowed him to get on the horse. When the officer had mounted the horse straightway bolted, leaving Smith-Dorrien behind to the mercy of the fast approaching enemy. Nothing daunted, he sprinted ahead, and it was not in vain that he had taken many prizes in his younger days for running. He kept ahead for a couple of miles, with the Zulus, who were known to be swift runners, close upon his heels, until at last he spurted into camp and safety.
一八七九年祖魯戰爭期間，英國軍官史密斯─多賴因有一天獨自外出，察看環境，走到軍營幾公里之外，突然遭一群祖魯人襲擊，連忙策馬飛奔，祖魯人窮追不捨。
路上，史密斯─多賴因碰到一個徒步的軍官，允許那軍官上馬，不料這軍官一上馬，那匹馬就跑了，剩下史密斯─多賴因一人，而祖魯人正迅速迫近。他十分鎮定，拔足全力奔跑。他少時憑賽跑屢次獲獎，可不是鬧着玩的。祖魯人以快跑知名，一直緊隨他身後，但史密斯─多賴因跑了幾英里，始終沒被追上，終於回到軍營，逃過一劫。
