Lesson 129 Seventy miles an hour

Look, Gary!

That policeman's waving to you. He wants you to stop.

Where do you think you are? On a race track? You must have been driving at seventy miles an hour.

I can't have been.

I was doing eighty when I overtook you.

Didn't you see the speed limit?

I'm afraid I didn't, officer. I must have been dreaming.

He wasn't dreaming, officer. I was telling him to drive slowly.

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

Let me see your driving licence.

I won't charge you this time. But you'd better not do it again!

Thank you. I'll certainly be more careful.

I told you to drive slowly, Gary.

You always tell me to drive slowly, darling.

Well, next time you'd better take my advice!

看，加里！

那个警察在向你招手。他要你停下来。

你以为你在哪里？在赛车道上吗？你刚才一定是以每小时70英里的速度开车。

我不可能开得那么快。

我超你车的时候是80英里。

你没看到限速标志吗？

恐怕没看到，警官。我一定是在做梦。

他不是在做梦，警官。我一直在叫他慢点开。

所以我才没看到标志。

让我看看你的驾照。

这次我不罚你了。但你最好别再这样了！

谢谢。我一定会更加小心的。

我叫你慢点开，加里。

你总是叫我慢点开，亲爱的。

好吧，下次你最好听我的！
