6. CATCH-22
《第二十二條軍規(guī)》

It's because of Frank Sinatra that we use the phrase "catch-22" today. Well, sort of. Author Joseph Heller tried out Catch-11, but because the original Ocean's Eleven movie was newly in theaters, it was scrapped to avoid confusion. He also wanted Catch-18, but, again, the recent publication of Leon Uris' Mila 18 made him switch titles to avoid confusion. The number 22 was finally chosen because it was 11 doubled.
我們現(xiàn)在使用短語catch-22（意為“自相矛盾的規(guī)定”）都是因為弗蘭克?辛納屈（Frank Sinatra）。呃，在一定程度上是這樣的。《第二十二條軍規(guī)》的作者約瑟夫?海勒（Joseph Heller）曾一度想用《第十一條軍規(guī)》（Catch-11）作為書名，但因為當(dāng)時第一版的《十一羅漢》（Ocean's Eleven）電影剛剛上映，為避免混淆他放棄了這個名字。他還考慮過《第十八條軍規(guī)》（Catch-18），但不巧的是又撞上列昂?烏里斯（Leon Uris）的《米勒18》出版，為了避免大家誤會，他再次換了名字。最后選擇了22這個數(shù)字是因為它是11的兩倍。
