It was 9 o’clock on a Saturday morning.Ole and Lena were sitting down to their usual morning cup of coffee listening to the weather report on the radio.

周六早上9点，奥立和莉娜正要坐下来喝他们通常的“早茶”——咖啡时，听到了收音机里的天气预报。

“There will be 3 to 5 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared.” the weather report said.“You must park your cars on the odd numbered side of the streets.”

“今天将有3到5英寸的降雪，还发布了大雪紧急令。”天气预报说，“你们必须把车停在街道的奇数一侧。”

Ole said, “Jeez,okay,” and got up from his coffee.

奥立说道：“天哪，好吧。”然后放下咖啡，站了起来。

The next day, they were sitting down with their morning cups of coffee.The weather forecast was, “There will be 2 to 4 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared.You must park your cars on the even numbered side of the streets.”

第二天，他们正要坐下来喝“早茶”——咖啡时，天气预报说：“今天将有2至4英寸的降雪，还发布了大雪紧急令。你们必须把车停在街道的偶数

Again, Ole said, “Jeez, okay,” and got up from his coffee.

奥立再次说道：“哎呀，好吧。”然后放下咖啡，站了起来。

两天后，他们又是正要坐下来喝咖啡时，天气预报说：“今天将有6到8英寸的降雪，还发布了暴雪紧急令。你们必须把车停在……”这时，停电了，奥立没有得到通告后面的内容。

He turned to Lena, “Jeez, what am I going to do now, Lena?Where must I park my car?”

他转向朝莉娜说道：“哎呀，我现在该怎么办，莉娜？我的车该停在哪里呢？”

Lena replied, “Aw, Ole, just leave the car in the garage today.”

莉娜回答道：“噢，奥立，你今天就把你的车停在车库里吧。”
