 During World War1 II, a lot of young women in Britain2 were in the army3. Joan Phillips was4 one of them. She worked in a big camp5, and of course6 met a lot of men, officers8 and soldiers9. 

One evening she met Captain10 Humphreys at a dance. He said11 to her, "I‘m going12 abroad13 tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could14 write to each other." Joan agreed15, and they wrote16 for several17 months. 
Then his letters stopped, but she received18 one from another officer7, telling her that he had19 been wounded20 and was in a certain21 army hospital in England. 
Joan went there and said to the matron, "I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys." 
"Only relatives22 are allowed23 to visit patients24 here," the matron said. 
"Oh, that‘s all right," answered Joan. "I‘m his sister." 
"I‘m very pleased25 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。”
