hints: Louis Greenville 一個(gè)a是氣音，注意寫(xiě)上 一處連字符
It was a bad night for Louis. His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected. It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his building's parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty. Louis didn't see a no-parking sign, but he suspected that if parking were allowed there, most of the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. He was so glad to see them that he didn't even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked, and hurried home to go to bed. The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the city police to say that his car had been stolen. It took the police only a minute to tell him what had happened. His car had been on a private lot. It had been taken away by the police. Louis had to take a taxi to the city garage far from the center of town. He had to pay a fee of $40 to get his car back. In addition, he got a parking ticket -- his first one ever in Greenville.
對(duì)Louis來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一個(gè)糟糕的夜晚。他在鄰近小鎮(zhèn)的調(diào)查比預(yù)期花了更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。當(dāng)他開(kāi)車(chē)回家的時(shí)候已經(jīng)很晚了，而且他也很疲倦。他把車(chē)開(kāi)進(jìn)他們小區(qū)的停車(chē)場(chǎng)，但是所有車(chē)位都滿了。他又開(kāi)回到街上，想尋找一個(gè)停車(chē)位。第一個(gè)街區(qū)滿了。第二個(gè)街區(qū)幾乎是空的。Louis 沒(méi)有看到不允許停車(chē)的標(biāo)志，但是他懷疑這里是否允許停車(chē)，大部分的車(chē)位都會(huì)被填滿。然后他看到一個(gè)有兩車(chē)位的停車(chē)場(chǎng)。他太高興了以至于他都沒(méi)有想到去讀一讀入口處的通知。他開(kāi)進(jìn)去，停好車(chē)，趕緊回家睡覺(jué)。第二天早上，他又回到停車(chē)場(chǎng)去取他的車(chē)，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)他的車(chē)不見(jiàn)了。他跑回家報(bào)警說(shuō)他的車(chē)被偷了。警察只花了一分鐘來(lái)告訴他發(fā)生了什么：他的車(chē)停在了私人停車(chē)場(chǎng)，所以已經(jīng)被警察拖走了。Louis不得不打車(chē)去離市中心遙遠(yuǎn)的城市車(chē)庫(kù)，并花了40美元的車(chē)費(fèi)來(lái)拿回他的車(chē)。并且，他接到了他在Greenville的第一張罰單。 ——譯文來(lái)自: 學(xué)英音
