ANN: Look, Gary!
     That policeman’s waving to
     you.
     He wants you to stop.
    POLICEMAN: Where do you think you are?
     On a race track?
     You must have been driving
     at seventy miles an hour.
    GARY: I can’t have been.
    POLICEMAN: I was doing eighty
     when I overtook you.
    POLICEMAN: Didn’t you see the speed
     limit?
    GARY: I’m afraid I didn’t, officer.
     I must have been dreaming.
    ANN: He wasn’t dreaming, officer.
     I was telling him to drive
     slowly.
    GARY: That’s why I didn’t see the
     sign.
    POLICEMAN: Let me see your driving
     licence.
    POLICEMAN: I won’t charge you this time.
     But you’d better not do it
     again!
    GARY: Thank you.
     I’ll certainly be more
     careful.
    ANN: I told you to drive slowly,
     Gary.
    GARY: You always tell me to drive
     slowly, darling.
    ANN: Well, next time
     you’d better take my advice!
    參考譯文
     安:瞧,加里!那個警察正朝你揮手呢。
     他要你停下來。
    警察:你認(rèn)為你現(xiàn)在是在哪兒?
     在賽車道上嗎?你剛才一定是以每小時
     70英里的速度開車。
    加里:我不會開得那么快的。
    警察:我是以第小時80英里的速度趕上你的。
    警察:難道你沒看見限速牌嗎?
    加里:恐怕我沒有看見,警官。
     我一定思想開小差了。
     安:警官,他思想沒有開小差。
     我剛才正告訴他開慢點。
    安里:所以我才沒看見那牌子。
    警察:讓我看一看你的駕駛執(zhí)照。
    警察:這次我就不罰你款了。但你不要再
     開得這樣快。
    加里:謝謝您。我以后一定會多加注意。
     安:加里,我剛才叫你開慢點吧。
    加里:你總是叫我開慢點,親愛的。
     安:好啦,下次你還是聽從我的勸告!
