課文內(nèi)容:
If you park your car in the wrong place, a trafficpoliceman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if helets you go without a ticket. However, this does notalways happen. Traffic police are sometimes verypolite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this noteon my car: Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a"No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here ifyou pay attention to our street signs. This noteis only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
精講筆記:

如果您對(duì)我們街上的提示語(yǔ)稍加注意,您將在此過(guò)得很愉快的。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 Enjoy your stay here.玩得開心。
I have enjoyed my stay with you.和你在一起我很開心。

8.This note is only a reminder.
謹(jǐn)此字條提請(qǐng)注意。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 only意為“僅僅,只不過(guò)”,表示強(qiáng)調(diào),需要強(qiáng)調(diào)什么就放其前面即可。
此句稍作改動(dòng):Only this note is a reminder.僅有這個(gè)條子是提醒物。再如:
Only I love you.只有我愛你。(強(qiáng)調(diào)我)

翻譯練習(xí):你見過(guò)一個(gè)像這樣的人嗎? Have you seen a man like this?
