英語(yǔ)笑話

339　Make triplicate copies before destroy 在銷毀之前請(qǐng)復(fù)印一式三份

Responsible for the overall closing of a military base, I was reviewing voluminous files. I found some old records that were of no possible value, and sent a letter to Washington requesting permission to destroy them. The reply read as follows: “Permission is given to destroy the records, but please make triplicate copies of them first.”

我負(fù)責(zé)全面處理一個(gè)軍事基地的關(guān)閉事宜，正在審閱大量的文件。我發(fā)現(xiàn)有一些老的記錄不可能再有使用價(jià)值，就發(fā)了一封信給華盛頓，請(qǐng)求批準(zhǔn)銷毀這些記錄。我收到的答復(fù)如下：“茲批準(zhǔn)銷毀這些記錄。不過(guò)，在銷毀之前，請(qǐng)復(fù)印一式三份?！?
