范文 | A polite request译文和生词 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! 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! park v. 停放(汽车) traffic n. 交通 ticket) n. 交通违规罚款单 note n. 便条 area n. 地段 sign n. 指示牌 reminder n. 提示 fail v. 无视,忘记 obey v. 服从 If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it! cannot fail to双重否定,加强语气。 She will never fail to keep her promise. 她绝不食言。 However, this does not always happen. not always部分否定 always的否定式:"并非总是(并非一直)……" 例如: He is not always so sad. 他并不是一直都这样悲伤。 all the time 的否定式:"并非一直……"、"未必老是……" 例如: A foolish man doesn't make a mistake all the time. 笨人未必老是犯错误。 |
