Lesson 16 A polite request彬彬有禮的要求
    First listen and then answer the question.
    聽(tīng)錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
    What was the polite request?
    If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.
    一旦你把汽車(chē)停錯(cuò)了地方，交通警察很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)
    You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen.
    如果他沒(méi)給你罰單就放你走了，算你走運(yùn)。然而，情況并不都是這樣
    Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden,I found this note on my car:
    交通警察有時(shí)也很客氣。有在瑞典度假，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的車(chē)上有這樣一個(gè)字條：
    ' 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.'
    “先生，歡迎您光臨我們的城市。此處是‘禁止停車(chē)’區(qū)。如果您對(duì)我們街上的標(biāo)牌稍加注意，您在此會(huì)過(guò)得很愉快的。謹(jǐn)此提請(qǐng)注意?！?BR>    If you receive a request like this, you can-not fail to obey it!
