Lesson 92 Asking for trouble
自找麻煩
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
Why did the policeman ask the writer to come to the police station?
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.
我回到家時(shí)，肯定已是凌晨兩點(diǎn)左右了。
I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep,
我按響了門鈴，試圖喚醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。
so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.
于是，我從花園的小棚里搬來了一個(gè)梯子，把它靠在墻邊，開始向臥室的窗口爬去。
I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'
快要爬到窗口時(shí)，下面一個(gè)人用諷刺的口吻說：“我看不必在夜里這個(gè)時(shí)候擦窗子吧?！?BR> I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.
我向下面看去。當(dāng)我看清是一個(gè)警察時(shí)，差一點(diǎn)兒從梯子上掉下去。
I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
我回答了他的話，但馬上又后悔不該那樣說，我是這樣說的：“我喜歡在夜里擦窗子?！?BR> 'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you.
“我也是的，”警察用同樣的聲調(diào)回答，“請?jiān)徫掖驍嗔四?BR> I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'
當(dāng)一個(gè)人在忙著干活時(shí)，我是不愿意去打斷他的，但請您跟我到警察局去一趟好嗎？”
'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.'
“可我更愿意呆在這兒，”我說，“您瞧，我忘帶鑰匙了?！?BR> 'Your what?' he called.
“什么？”他大聲問。
'My key,' I shouted.
“鑰匙！”我喊道。
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
幸運(yùn)得很，這喊聲驚醒了我的妻子。就在警察開始向我爬上來時(shí)，她打開了窗子。
