Lesson 16 A polite request

中文

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，我发现我的车上有这样一个字条：

“先生，欢迎您光临我们的城市。

此处是"禁止停车“区。

如果您对我们街上的标牌稍加注意，您在此会过得很愉快的。

谨此提请注意。”

如果你收到这样的恳求，你是不会不遵照执行的！

英文

If you park your car in the wrong place [pleɪs], a traffic [ˈtræfɪk] policeman will soon find it.

You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.

However [haʊˈevə(r)], this does not always happened. Traffic police are sometimes very polite [pəˈlaɪt].

During a holiday in Sweden [ˈswiːd(ə)n], I found this note on my car:

"Sir, we welcome [ˈwelkəm] you to our city.

This is a "No Parking" area [ˈeəriə].

You will enjoy stay here if you pay attention to our street [striːt] signs [saɪnz].

This note is only a reminder".

If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey [əˈbeɪ] it!
