我第一次见到杰克时，他是个高高瘦瘦、少不更事的19岁的大男孩，中学一毕业就应征加入了美国海军。

When I first met Jack, he was a tall, lanky, wet-behind-the-ears nineteen-year-old kid, who enlisted in the U.S. Navy right after graduating high school.

虽然作为一个英国家长，我很欣赏英国仅为6星期暑假，但对于曾经是个美国男孩的我，仍然觉得它短的有些荒唐。

As a parent in Britain I applaud the six-week summer break, but the American boy in me still finds it ridiculously brief. It doesn't give you enough time to get bored, much less dangerously inventive.
