一艘挤满美国远征部队士兵的运输船正破浪前进。一张纽约报纸的头版上大字标题:《日落分队今日归国》船舱里拥挤而喧哗,大部分士兵正在玩骰子,有人在看热闹,有人在随着口琴唱着走调的歌。他们都显得狂热而兴奋。詹姆斯·艾伦中士爬下舱口,看得出来,他是个受人欢迎的小伙子。“对不起,小伙子们,打搅你们的游戏了——船长要在一小时内检查铺位了。”他说。一个黑人笑咪咪地捡起钱,边数边走向自己的铺位,其余的人都绷着脸。显然他们输了钱。
A tanker packed with U.S. expeditionary force soldiers is stepping on the waves. On the front page of a New York newspaper, the headline reads: “The Detachment Returns Today.” Crowded and noisy in the cabin, most of the soldiers are playing dice, some are watching the fun, and some are singing the tuney song along with the harmonica. They all seem fanatical and excited. Sergeant James Allen climbed down the hatchway and, in readability, he was a welcome young man. “Excuse me, guys, bothering your game - the captain has to check the bunk within an hour,” he said. A black man smiled and picked up the money, while walking to his own side of the shop, the rest of the people are stretched face. Obviously they lost money.
