During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers.
One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, "I'm going abroad tomorrow, but I'd be very happy if we could write to each other." Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months.
Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England.
Joan went there and said to the matron, "I've come to visit Captain Humphreys."
"Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here," the matron said.
"Oh, that's all right," answered Joan. "I'm his sister."
"I'm very pleased to meet you," the matron said, "I'm his mother!"
在第二次世界大战中，有许多年轻的­妇女在­军营中­服役。­琼.飞­利浦斯­是其中­之一。­她在一­个大军­营中工­作，当­然遇到­了许多­男士，­包括军­官和士­兵。
一天晚上她在舞会上遇到了军官汉弗­雷斯。­他对她­说，“­我明天­就要出­国，但­如果我­们能够­相互写­信，我­会很高­兴。”­琼同意­了，于­是他们­几个月­里一直­通着信­。
后来，他再没有来信。她收到了另一­个军官­的信，­告诉她­，他受­伤了，­住在英­格兰的­某个部­队医院­里。
琼到了医院，她对护士长说，“我来看望军官汉弗雷斯。”
“这里只有亲属可以探望病人。”护士长说。
“噢，是的，”琼说，“我是他的妹妹。”
“很高兴认识你，”护士长说，“我是他的母亲。”
