短文聽讀 Text        

  The other day, my wife was feeling under the weather, so she asked me to take her to the doctor’s. The traffic was bad on the way there, so we were late for the appointment. We had to get to the back of the queue and wait for an hour until it was our turn again.

   To make matters worse, I got a parking ticket for parking illegally outside the clinic! To be frank, it was my fault; I knew I wasn’t supposed to park there. I even saw the sign that told people they would be fined for parking there. However, my wife’s health will always be top priority, so I have no regrets.

  前幾天,我太太身體不太舒服,所以請我帶她去看醫生。路途上的交通狀況很糟,所以我們比約診時間還晚到。我們得再排一次隊,等了一個小時才輪到我們看診。
