‘Labour is glorious,’ translated Olga Fiodorovna.
‘Oh, a hospital,’ said Bernard, and wondered if he was brave enough to light a cigarette.
Olga Fiodorovna told him that in this instance, labour meant work. In her country such slogans were an incentive to the workers. It spurred them on.
‘In my country,’ said Bernard thoughtfully, ‘a slogan like that would be an incentive to violence.”
Like others, I just didn't understand it, and I wouldn't recommended it, but there were quite a few laughs nonetheless. ( )
