(Benjamin is parking his car when a security guard comes by.)

Security guard: Excuse me, sir, I’m afraid you can’t park your car here.

Benjamin: Why not?It’s my parking space.

Security guard: I’m afraid not, sir.

Benjamin: Oh? That’s a surprise. Let me see…D 0411 Our dog’s birthday. Yes, I’m sure this my parking space!

Security guard: But I saw a red car always parking here before.

Benjamin: Oh, we’ve just repainted our car. It was red.

Security guard: Maybe. But the car of this space has a broken rearview mirror on the left.

Benjamin: Yeah. It used to. We got that fixed yesterday too.

Security guard: Could you wait for a minute, sir? I’d like to have a check.

Benjamin: Sure, go ahead.

Security guard: Sorry, sir, my mistake. This is your parking space.

Benjamin：That’s all right. It’s not your fault.

聽看學(xué)

(本杰明正在停車，這時(shí)一個(gè)保安走了過來。)

保安：對不起，先生，恐怕您不能把您的車停在這兒。

本杰明：為什么不能?這是我的停車位。

保安：恐怕不是的，先生。

本杰明：是嗎?真叫人吃驚。我看看……D0441我們家狗的生日。是的，我肯定這就是我的停車位!

保安：但我以前都是看到一輛紅色的車停在這兒來著。

本杰明：哦，我們昨天剛剛給它重新上過漆，它以前是紅色的。

保安：也許吧。但這個(gè)車位的車的左后視鏡是壞的。

本杰明：是啊。它以前是。我們昨天也已經(jīng)把它修好了。

保安：您能等一會兒嗎，先生?我得核實(shí)一下。

本杰明：可以，你核實(shí)吧。

保安：對不起，先生，我弄錯(cuò)了。這是您的停車位。

本杰明：沒關(guān)系。這不能怪你。

Benjamin: I never like cars. Parking a car is especially a big trouble for me. The security guard would always come up and check if I’ve parked in right space. I wonder whether he does the same thing to the others. Anyway he is just doing his job.
