57.When must all men register for the Selective Service?
57.什么時候所有男性必須到兵役登記局登記?
Answer: At age eighteen (18);Between eighteen (18) and twenty-six (26)
答案:18歲;18至26歲
Explanation: In the United States, military service (or the time spent working in the army) is voluntary (or optional and something that one chooses to do).
解釋:在美國,服兵役(或在軍隊工作的時間)是自愿的(或非強制的并且是某人情愿去做事情)。
Under normal conditions, no one has to serve in the army if he or she doesn't want to.
在正常情況下,如果他或她不想服兵役的話,沒有人必須要服兵役。
However, all men between the ages of 18 and 26 must register (or sign up for) the Selective Service, which is a part of the U.S. government that tries to find enough people to fight in a war or other national emergency (or a major problem that was not expected).
然而,所有年齡在18-26歲的男性必須到兵役登記局登記(或報名),它是美國政府的一部分,它設法找到足夠多的人去打仗或應對其它國家的突發事件(或沒有預料到的重大問題)。
The Selective Service keeps a list of names of all the men who are registered for the Selective Service.
兵役登記局保留所有在它那登記的男性名單。
If there is a war or another national emergency, the Selective Service will have a draft, which means that names are chosen at random (or with all of the names having an equal chance of being selected) to find out who will fight.
如果出現了戰爭或另一個國家的突發事件,兵役登記局就會進行征兵,也就意味著隨機(或所有名字被選上的概率相同)抽選名字決定誰來參戰
We say that the people whose names are picked have been drafted for the war.
我們說選中者將被征召入伍。
