Lesson 16 A polite request 彬彬有礼的要求 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! New words and expressions 生词和短语 park v. 停放（汽车） traffic n. 交通 ticket [?tikit] n. 交通违规罚款单 note [n ? ut] n. 便 条 area[???ri ? ] n. 地段 sign [sain] n. 指示牌 reminder [r ??ma ?nd ? ] n. 提示 fail [feil] v. 无 视，忘记 obey [??bei] v. 服从 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！ 1.
