第 28 课 · 禁止停车 Lesson 28 · No parking

贾斯珀·怀特是那些相信古代神话的罕见人物之一。

Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.

他刚刚在城里买了一套新房,但自从他搬进来以来,他一直被汽车和车主们搞得很烦。

He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners.

每当他夜晚回家时,他总是发现有人把一辆车停在了他大门外面。

When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate.

因此,他甚至一次都没能把自己的车开进车库。

Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.

贾斯珀在他的大门外竖起了"禁止停车"的告示牌,但这些告示牌没有产生任何效果。

Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect.

现在他在大门上方放了一个丑陋的石头人像。

Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate.

这是我所见过的最丑陋的面孔之一。

It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.

我问他那是什么,他告诉我说那是美杜莎——戈耳工。

I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon.

贾斯珀希望她能把汽车和车主们都变成石头。

Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.

但是到目前为止,他们中还没有一个人变成石头!

But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
