Sitting in basic communications training, we were having trouble understanding some concepts of satellite technology. “Come on, guys,” the instructor said. “This isn't rocket science.” After an uncomfortable pause, a courageous trainee raised his hand and said, “Sir, I'm no genius, but since we are dealing with launching satellites, I believe this actually is rocket science.”
在基础通讯培训的时候,我们对一些卫星技术的概念不太理解。教官说:“伙计们,加把劲。这又不是火箭科学。”经过一个令人不舒服的停顿以后,一个勇敢的学员举起手来说:“长官,我不是天才。不过,我们既然涉及卫星发射,我想这确实是火箭科学。”
