It's not easy being a soldier or a spy: you have to immerse yourself in dangerous situations, assess intelligence in the field, speak foreign languages, and handle all kinds of technical equipment and weaponry. 当个士兵或者间谍可并不容易:你得把自己置身于危险的环境中、在前线收集情报、讲外语,还得操弄各种技术装备和武器。 Learning how to do all of that takes a lot of training, which is why the research wing of the US Department of Defence wants to figure out ways to make its workers learn these vital skills quicker – even if they have to zap them to do it. 要学会这些,你得接受大量的训练;而因为这个原因,美国国防部的研究团队打算找出一个方法,好让他们的雇员能够更快地学会这些至关重要的技能——就算得把他们折腾死也在所不惜。 |
