113、Lift Your Right Arm
by:Peter Cherches

Lift your right arm, she said.
I lifted my right arm.
Lift your left arm, she said.
I lifted my left arm. Both of my arms were up.
Put down your right arm, she said.
I put it down.
Put down your left arm, she said.
I did.
Lift your right arm, she said.
I obeyed.
Put down your right arm.
I did.
Lift your left arm.
I lifted it.
Put down your left arm.
I did.
Silence. I stood there, both arms down, waiting for her next command. After a while I got impatient and said, what next.
Now it's your turn to give the orders, she said.
All right, I said. Tell me to lift my right arm.

(from Condensed Book, 1986)

113、举起右手
彼得·丘奇思

她说举起右手。
我举起了右手。
她说举起左手。
我举起了左手。两手并举。
她说放下右手。
我放下了。
她说放下左手。
我放下。
她说举起右手。
我尊命。
放下右手。
我听从。
举起左手。
我举。
放下左手。
我放。
我垂着两手，静候她的下一道命令。不一会就难以忍受，催促：下一道命令。
该你下命令了。她说。
好的。我说。命令我举起右手。
