古德明《征服英語》之英語軍事故事，古德明，香港英語教育作家，他開了一個《征服英語專欄》，在專欄中專門用英語寫了世界近代史上的軍事小故事，用英語講述歷史中那些驚心動魄的戰爭。穿女裙的麥克阿瑟
douglas macarthur's military success may have come as a surprise to his childhood friends. his macho image notwithstanding, he was dressed in skirts by his mother until he was eight.
in 1951, macarthur was dismissed by president truman in a dispute over us policy toward china during the korean war. macarthur's father, who fought geronimo, had also been relieved of his command by president taft for insubordination.
麥克阿瑟軍事成就輝煌，他兒時的朋友也許會感到驚訝。他雖然形象剛強，但八歲以前母親卻給他穿女裙。
一九五一年，麥克阿瑟和總統杜魯門爭議美國韓戰期間對華政策，被杜魯門免職。他父親曾和杰羅尼莫作戰，也因不服從命令而被總統塔虎脫解除兵權。
【解說】麥克阿瑟是第二次世界大戰期間西南太平洋盟軍總司令，一九五○年韓戰爆發，出任聯合國軍總司令，主張直接進攻「抗美援朝」的中共，終于被迫退伍。他父親曾和印第安人游擊隊領袖杰羅尼莫對敵，也因為意見和總統不合而去職。有其父必有其子，英文可以說：likefather,likeson。
