According to an old legend, the Lord taxed the people of Coventry heavily and unjustly. If they did not pay those cruel taxes, they were thrown into prison. Lady Godiva asked her husband to have mercy on the people, but her stony-hearted husband showed no pity. Again and again she asked him to be merciful until at last, he answered jokingly.” I will do what you ask only if you will ride naked through the streets of Coventry at noon.” Lady Godiva rode naked through the empty streets of Coventry the next day. Every door was closed and every window was shuttered. The Lord kept his promise, and lightened the burden of taxes that he laid upon the citizens. Only one man ,a tailor had watched Lady Godiva as she rode through the streets. He cut a small hole in the door of his house, and peeped through this hole. The legend says that he become blind, and he has been known ever since as Peeping Tom. 译文： 戈黛娃夫人 戈黛娃夫人是考文垂勋爵的美丽妻子。她住在十一世纪。 根据一个古老的传说，考文垂勋爵对考文垂的人征税很重和不公正。如果他们不支付那些残酷的税，他们就被投入监狱。 戈黛娃夫人要求丈夫怜悯人民，但她那铁石心肠的丈夫却毫不怜悯。她一次又一次地请求他宽宏大量，直到最后，他开玩笑地说：“我会照你的要求去做，只要你能在中午的时候穿上裸奔穿过考文垂大街。” 第二天，戈黛娃夫人赤裸裸地穿过考文垂的空旷街道。每扇门都关上了，所有的窗户都关上了。勋爵遵守了他的诺言，减轻了他在公民身上所负的税收。 只有一个人，一个裁缝在戈黛娃夫人骑马穿过街道时注视着她。他在房子的门上切了个小洞，从这个洞里窥视。传说他失明了，从此他被称为”偷窥的汤姆”。 课堂笔记： Lady Ladies and gentlemen!（女士们，先生们） Ladies first (女士优先！) Godiva was the beautiful wife of Lord of Coventry.
