Painful Boyhood 痛苦的少年时代

James and Lou were teenagers. They were good friends. Whenever Lou heard a soft tap on his door， he knew it‘s James， James liked to tease Lou but Lou seldom lost his temper. Their country declared a war against their neighboring country because of tariff problem. Advanced technology was used in war. The technological progress accelerated the development of weapons. New weapons were produced by new technique. The president made a tedious speech to encourage the youth to enlist. James and Lou joined the army. A highly skilled technician trained them to drive tank. Both of them tanned quickly in the sun. One day， Lou received an order to bombard a tanker. Before departure， he left a tape recorder to James. Lou saw the target through telescope. He didn’t know it was a trap. The road was covered with tar. Besides， the petrol tank in his tank is empty. The tank could not move owing to some technical reasons. The enemy surrounded the tank. Lou sacrificed his young life. When James heard of the news by telegraph， he cried Lou‘s name in tears. James caught cold that night then had a temperature. His temples were very hot. He had to cool his forehead in the cold water from the tap. The war ended. James hesitated， but finally went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to Lou’s parents. Their hearts were torn by pain. They buried their son‘s relics in a temple.

詹姆斯和路都是十几岁的少年。他们是好朋友。无论何时，路听到他家门上的一声轻叩，就知道是詹姆斯来了。詹姆斯喜欢戏弄路。但路很少发脾气。因为关税问题，他们的国家向邻国宣战。先进的技术被运用于战争。工艺的进步加快了武器的发展。新技术制造出新型武器。总统发表了冗长的演讲鼓励年轻人参军。詹姆斯和路都参军了。一名技术娴熟的技师训练他们如何驾驶坦克。两人在阳光下很快晒黑了。一天，路接到任务去炮击一艘油船。分离前，他留了一台磁带录音机给詹姆斯。路用望远镜看见了目标。他不知道那是个陷阱。道路被柏油覆盖着。此外他坦克里的油箱空了。坦克因为某些技术问题而无法移动。坦克被敌人包围了。路牺牲了他年轻的生命。当詹姆斯通过电报听说了这个消息后，他流着泪哭喊路的名字。当晚詹姆斯感冒了，并发起高烧。他的太阳穴发烫。他不得不用水龙头里的冷水来凉额头。战争结束后。詹姆斯犹豫良久，最终还是去电报局给路的父母发了一份电报。他们的心被悲痛撕碎了。他们在一个庙宇里埋葬了儿子的遗物。
