熊之师
in their war against nazi germany, the poles even enlisted the help of their pets. one artillery supply unit, for instance, was aided by a syrian brown bear they had raised from a cub. wojtek, known as the soldier bear, became so popular among the soldiers for his personality and efficiency in moving crates of ammunition that his unit's badge was changed to a bear carrying an artillery shell. wojtek smoked cigarettes, drank beer from the bottle, wrestled with the men, and retired to edinburgh zoo after the war.
according to one story, wojtek, who was fond of steam baths, entered the bathhouse at his unit's base one day and found a spy. recognizing him as a threat, wojtek punched the spy out.*

波兰人和纳粹德国作战,不惜借助他们的宠物。例如炮兵的一支补给分队,就获得自小由他们饲养的一只叙利亚棕熊帮忙。沃伊特又名「熊士兵」,性情可爱,并擅长搬运火药箱,深得将士欢心,以至该分队徽章的图案,都改为一只携带炮弹的熊。沃伊特会吸烟,会用瓶喝啤酒,还会和将士摔角。战后,他归隐爱丁堡动物园。
根据传说,沃伊特喜欢蒸气浴,有一天,走进分队基地的澡堂,发现一个间谍,感到这人不是善类,把他狠狠揍了一顿。
备注：
* punch someone out是俚语,意思是「痛殴」,例如: the thugs punched him out(那些恶棍揍了他一顿)。
