Passage Two
段落二
It was a bad night for Lewis. His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected.
對于劉易斯來說這是一個糟糕的晚上。他在鄰鎮(zhèn)研究花的時間完全超過了他的期望。
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.
當(dāng)他開車回家時,天已經(jīng)很晚,他也很累了。他拐入了停車場,但所有的車位都滿了。他開回街上,尋找停車位。
The first block was full. The next block was almost empty.
第一個街區(qū)是滿的,下一個幾乎是空的。
Lewis didn't see a “No Parking” sign, but he had expected that if his parking was allowed there most the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces.
路易斯沒看到禁止停車的牌子。他認為如果這邊可以停車,大多數(shù)停車位就能停。然后他看見一個小停車場有免費車位。
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.
他看到后很高興,甚至沒有看入口的標(biāo)志。他開進去停好,然后匆匆回家睡覺。
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.
第二天早晨,他去開車。車消失了。他跑回家,打電話給警察說他的車被偷了。
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.
警察只花了一分鐘就告訴了他發(fā)生了什么事:他的車停在了一個私人地段。它已被警方拖走。
Lewis had to take a taxi to the city garage far from the center of town. He had to pay a fee of 40 dollars to get his car back. In addition, he got a parking ticket, his first one ever in Greenville.
路易斯只好乘出租車到遠離鎮(zhèn)中心的車庫去取。他還得付40美元取出他的車。此外,他在格林維爾得到了他的第一張停車票。
