Kara, thank you very much!

The General went out to find that none of his G.I.s were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.	odd – dziwny excuse – wymówka General – generał G.I. – żołnierz armii amerykańskiej panting – dysząc
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."	explain – wyjaśnić date – randka it ran a little late – trochę się przeciągnęła miss – spóźnić się hail a cab – przywołać/zatrzymać taksówkę break down – zepsuć się drop dead – paść martwym
The General was very skeptical about this explanation but at least he was here so he let the G.I. go. Moments late, eight more G.I.s came up to the general panting, he asked them why they were late.	skeptical – sceptyczny explanation – wyjaśnienie at least – przynajmniej let go – puścić come up – podejść, przybyć late – spóźniony
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The General eyed them, feeling very skeptical but since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too. A ninth G.I. jogged up to the General, panting heavily.	eye – zmierzyć wzrokiem since – skoro jog up – podbiec
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the General interrupted, "it broke down."	let me guess – niech zgadnę
"No," said the G.I., "there were so many dead horses in the road, it took forever to get around them."	it took forever – trwało wieczność get around – objechać, obejść
