A polite request
If you park your car in the wrong place ,a traffic policeman will soon find it .
You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket .
However,this does not always happen .
Traffic policeman are sometimes very polite .
During a holiday in Sweden , I found this note on my car :
‘ Sir , we welcome you to our city .
This is a “NO Parking “ area .
You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs .
This note is only a reminder .’
If you receive a request like this ,you cannot fail to obey it !
我发现一个有趣的事情，你看police 与 polite两个词仅差一个字母。长得如此相似，理应是亲同手足。警察秉持礼貌，正在变为现实。文明的进化正在日益要求与影响每一个人向世界公民靠近。
（police 是 policeman 的缩略）
