德军闹笑话 4星期大男婴竟成征兵对象

German army drafts four-week-old baby

The German army sent a draft notice to a four-week-old baby named Lucio, ordering him to report for duty within the next 10 days, before realising it had blundered.

德国军队前不久闹出了一个不大不小的笑话，他们竟然给一个名叫卢西奥的男婴寄去了一份征兵通知，命令这个4周大的小家伙必须在10天内赶到军营去服兵役，不过军方很快就意识到了自己所犯的错误。

A spokesman for the army said the notice had been sent erroneously because a clerk typed in the wrong date of birth for the boy from Aubstadt, in southern Germany.

据路透社4月10日报道，德国军队的一位发言人表示，这名男婴目前居住在该国南部的.奥博施塔特市，而那份征兵通知之所以会阴错阳差的寄到他家，主要是因为一个军方工作人员在打印其出生日期时犯了错误。

"It was an accident," an army spokesman told Reuters. "Somebody entered the wrong number into a computer. There was no harm done. We realised the error the same day and called up the family to tell them to throw the notice away when it arrived."

一位军方发言人在接受记者采访时说：“这的确是个意外事件，有人向计算机内输入了错误的数字。不过此事并未给任何人造成伤害。我们在事发当天便意识到所犯的错误，并马上给那家人打去了电话，告诉他们一旦接到了那份征兵通知，只要将它随手扔掉就可以了。”
