A very new, young officer(军官)was at a station. He was on his way to visit his mother in another
town, and he wanted to telephone her to tell her the time of this train, so that she could meet him at the
station in her car. He looked in all his pockets, but found that he did not have the right money for the
telephone, so he went outside and looked around for someone to help him.
At last an old soldier (战士) came by, and the young officer stopped him and said, 'Have you got
change (零钱) for ten pence?'
'Wait a moment,' the old soldier answered. He began to put his hand in his pocket, 'I'll see if (是否)
