Lesson 16 – A Polite Request

First listen and then answer the question:

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

一旦你把车停错了地方，交通警很快就会发现。如果他没给你罚款单就放你走了，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。如果您对我们的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。”
如果你收到这样的息条，你是不会不遵照执行的！
