NCE2(16)：A polite request_新概念英语

a polite request

　　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!

彬彬有礼的要求

　一旦你把汽车停错了地方，交通警察很快就会发现。如果他没给你罚款单就放你走了，算你走运。然而，情况并不都是这样，交通警察有时也很客气。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！
