According to rule twenty-two, only crazy people are allowed to avoid flying, but you have to apply for it yourself, and once you do, it just proves that you are a normal person and a Abduction. Catch twenty-two also states that a pilot can return home after 32 flights, but it says, you have to Zettai Fukuju Meirei or you can't go home. So the higher-ups can keep adding more flights to the pilots, and you can't disobey them. And so on and so forth, No End.
根據第二十二條軍規，只有瘋子才能獲準免於飛行，但必須由本人提出申請，但你一旦提出申請，恰好證明了你是一個正常人，還是在劫難逃。第二十二條軍規還規定，飛行員飛滿32架次就能回國，但它又說，你必須絕對服從命令，要不就不能回國。因此上級可以不斷給飛行員增加飛行次數，而你不得違抗。如此反覆，永無休止。
In yossarian's view, it was funny to present the prize in the form of a banner, which did not represent money or class privilege. Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, they simply show that the winner has done something that does no one any good except to do it better than anyone else.
在約塞連看來，以錦旗代獎品是頗有些滑稽可笑的，錦旗不代表金錢，也不代表等級特權。它們就跟奧林匹克運動會獎章和網球賽獎盃一樣，僅僅表明，獲獎者做了一樁於誰都無甚益處的事情，只不過比任何別的人做得出色罷了。
