A polite request
彬彬有禮的要求
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a 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" area. 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!
【課文翻譯】
一旦你把汽車停錯(cuò)了地方，交通警很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)。如果他沒給你罰單就放你走了，算你走運(yùn)。然而，情況并不都是這樣，交通警有時(shí)也很客氣。有一次在瑞典度假， 我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的車上有這樣一個(gè)字條：“先生，歡迎您光臨我們的城市。此處是‘禁止停車’區(qū)。如果您對(duì)我們街上的標(biāo)牌稍加注意，您在此會(huì)過得很愉快的。謹(jǐn)此提請(qǐng) 注意。”如果你收到這樣的懇求，你是不會(huì)不遵照?qǐng)?zhí)行的!
