Mindy: Why? Weren't you parked illegally?
女：怎么回事，你沒有違法停車嗎
Eric: No, I wasn't. The street I live on has metered parking from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. After 6, you can park there with a permit. Well, I parked my car at 7:30 PM and I have a permit. But, I still got a ticket.
男：我沒有。我住的那條街是每天早九點到晚六點計時收費。晚上六點以后，如果有許可，是可以停車的。我是晚上七點半將車停在那的，而且我有許可證。不過我還是吃了罰單Mindy: Did you display the permit clearly? It isn't expired is it?
女：你的許可證是不是擺放得不明顯，或是許可證已經(jīng)過期了？
Eric: Yeah, it's clearly displayed and it's good until June 2007.
男：我擺放得很顯眼，而我的許可證有效期到2007年6月
Mindy: Well, it sounds like you have a good case. Are you representing yourself or did you hire a lawyer?

Eric: I'm going there by myself. Wish me luck.
