Lesson 16 A Polite Request 彬彬有礼的要求
What was the polite request?
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!
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！
