55. Valet Parking 代客停车
John was new to Los Angeles. He had never lived in a city before. He used to live on a farm. He had loved the city so far.
约翰刚到洛杉矶,他从没有在城里住过。他原来住在一个农场里,到目前为止他很喜欢这城市。
One evening, John agreed to meet his friends in downtown L.A. He was late to their dinner. He couldn't find parking anywhere. A stranger walked up to his window. "I can park your car for you," he said. John thought this man was valet.
一天晚上,约翰答应朋友在市中心见面。他去晚餐时迟到了,到处都找不到停车的地方。一个陌生人走向他的窗前,说,“我可以帮您停车。”约翰以为这人是男仆。
John thanked the man and gave him his keys. After dinner, John couldn't find the valet booth. "We don't have valet," said a waiter. John's car had been stolen. Even though he like the city, he did not like the people.
约翰谢过了他,并把车钥匙给了他。晚餐之后,约翰找不到代客停车的地方。一位侍者说,“我们这没有代客停车。”约翰的车被偷了。虽然他喜欢这个城市,但他不喜欢这里的人。
