Lesson 16 A polite request
If you parking your car in the wrong place,a traffic policeman will soon find it.You will be very lucky if he lets you go without ticket.However,this does not always happen.Traffic police are sometimes very polite.During a holiday in Sweden,I found this note on my car:'Sir,we welcome you to our city.This is a "No Parking"aera.You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs,This note is only a reminder.'If you receive a request like this,you cannot fail to obey it!
参考译文:
一旦你把汽车停错了地方,交通警很快就会发现。如果他没给你交罚单就放你走了,算你走运。然而,情况并不都是这样,交通警有时也很客气。有一次在瑞典度假,我发现我的车子上有这样一个字条:“先生,欢迎您光临我们城市。此处是”禁止停车“区域。如果您对我们街上的标牌稍加注意,您会在此过得非常愉快的。谨此提醒请注意。如果你收到这样的恳求,你是不会不遵照执行的。
