每个人都喜欢枕头大战,就连美国军事学院(USMA)学员也不例外。
经过七个星期的严厉暑期培训后,西点军校(West Point)一年级生,按传统集合在战场
…呃,其实是篮球场上,一脸认真地,开始互丢枕头,以纾解压力。
这个一年一度的传统团体活动,由1897年就已经开始了。
虽然有规则要求学员们要带安全装备,但学员们为了令枕头杀伤力变大,竟把硬物塞到枕
头内。
结果今年夏天枕头战后,有24人受伤,多人骨折,部份学员昏迷。
虽然一直以来,西点军校并未正式认可这项活动,但现在已正式被禁止了。
看来学员们以后得找其他办法纾压了。
英文原文:
Everybody loves a good pillow fight, and for these cadets, it’s no exception.
After a gruelling, seven-week summer training session, first year West Point
students, known as ‘plebes’, traditionally gather on the battlefield, or
rather, their basketball court.
With determined looks on their faces and bright eyes, the plebes then throw a
few pillows around at their comrades so they can blow off some steam.
This annual bonding tradition at the military academy dates back to at least
1897.
Although the cadets have been required to wear body armor and helmets, cadets
have been discovered stuffing headgear and other hard objects into
pillowcases to weaponize their pillows.
Well, that left the pillow fight this summer resulting in 24 concussions,
many broken bones and unconscious cadets.
Although the tradition was never really sanctioned by West Point to begin
with, it has now been officially banned.
Guess these cadets will just have to find another way to bond and let off
steam from now on.
