Policeman : Where do you think you are? On a race track? You must have been driving at seventy miles an hour.
Harry : I can't have been.
Policeman : I was doing eighty when I overtook you.
Policeman : Didn't you see the speed limit?
Harry : I'm afraid I didn't, officer. I must have been dreaming.

Harry : That's why I didn't see the sign.

新概念英语－翻译
安：瞧，加里！那个警察正朝你挥手呢。他要你停下来。
警察：你认为你现在是在哪儿？在赛车道上吗？你刚才一定是以每小时70英里的速度开车。
加里：我不会开得那么快的。
警察：我是以第小时80英里的速度赶上你的。
警察：难道你没看见限速牌吗？
加里：恐怕我没有看见，警官。我一定思想开小差了。
安：警官，他思想没有开小差。我刚才正告诉他开慢点。
加里：所以我才没看见那牌子。
警察：让我看一看你的驾驶执照。
警察：这次我就不罚你款了。但你最好不要再开得这样快。
加里：谢谢您。我以后一定会多加注意。
安：加里，我刚才叫你开慢点吧。
加里：你总是叫我开慢点，亲爱的。
安：好啦，下次你最好还是听从我的劝告！
