16-A Polite Request(录音)

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:客气的请求

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!
