Lesson 16 A polite request 彬彬有礼的要求
(生词和短语用标出)
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!
