Charlie Plumb was a US Navy je

歡迎來到祝福網，以下是小編為您精心提供的信息，請參考。如果您喜歡，請繼續關注我們。

Charlie Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. He flew 74 consecutive successful combat missions. However on his 75th mission, his F4Phantom fighter was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile and he was forced to eject. The only thing between him and imminent death was his parachute that he prayed would open. The parachute did open and Charlie made it down to the ground alive, but he was captured and spent 6 years as a prisoner of war in a Vietnamese prison camp.

查理·越戰期間，美國海軍噴氣機飛行員普拉姆。他連續成功執行了74次戰斗任務。然而，在他第75此執行任務時，他的F幽靈戰斗機被空導彈一發炸毀，他被彈射出去。唯一能從死亡邊緣救他的就是隨身帶的降落傘，他祈禱傘能打開。結果降落傘順利打開，查理活著著陸，但在越南監獄被敵人俘虜6年。

One day, many years after returning to his homeland, Charlie and his wife were sitting in a little restaurant in Kansas City when he noticed two tables over was this guy who kept looking at him.

多年后的一天，查理和妻子坐在堪薩斯城的一家小餐館里，發現隔著兩張桌子，有人一直在看他。

Finally the guy stood up and walked over to Charlie's table and said, “You're Captain Plumb.You're that guy. You flew jet fighters in Vietnam. You're a fighter pilot, part of that 'Top Gun' outfit. You launched from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, you parachuted into enemy territory and you spent six years as a prisoner of war.”

最后，那人站起來走到查理的桌子上，對他說：“你是普拉姆船長。就是你，你在越南開噴氣戰斗機，你是戰斗機飛行員，穿著飛行服‘精英一族’。你從吉提霍克號航空母艦起飛，跳傘落入敵人陣營，然后作為戰俘被關了六年。”

Somewhat dumbfounded, Charlie looked up at the guy and asked, “How in the world did you know all that?” The man chuckled and said, “Because I packed your parachute.”

查理幾乎驚呆了，他抬頭看著那個人問：“你怎么知道這一切？”那人笑著說：“因為我幫你打包降落傘。”

Charlie was speechless. The man grabbed Charlie's hand and pumped his arm and said, “I guess it worked,” and walked off.

查理一句話也說不出來。那人抓住查理的手，拉著他的胳膊說：“我覺得降落傘真的起作用了，”然后就轉身走了。

Charlie laid awake that night, thinking about all the times he had walked through the long narrow room, below sea level on the aircraft carrier, with the tables where the men packed the parachutes. He wondered how many times he must have walked past this man without even saying “hi,” “good morning” or “good job” or “I appreciate what you do.”

那天晚上查理失眠了，以為在潛入水下的航空母艦上，他走過那個又長又窄的房間，著桌子為飛行員打包降落傘。他以為自己有多少次和那個人擦身而過，卻一句話也沒說“你好”，“早上好”，或是“干得好”，“我很感激你的所作所為”之類的話。

“How many times did I pass the man whose job would eventually save my life…because I was a jet jockey, because I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor? ” he asked himself.

“有多少次我走過那個終于救了我命的人，卻忽略了他？因為我是飛行員，戰斗機飛行員，他只是水手？”他問自己。

Think about this for yourself. How many times in life do you pass the people who help you out the most? The people who come out of the far corners of your life just when you need them the most and pack your parachutes for you? The people who go the extra mile, the people who don't look for the kudos or the accolades or the achievement medal or even the bonus check—the folks who are just out there packing parachutes?

回想自己。你一生中有多少次無視幫助你最多的人？那個看似離你的生活最遠，卻在最需要的時候默默為你打包降落傘的人？那些付出更多的人，那些不求名利、獎章甚至利益的人——那些只打包降落傘的人
