限制limit[英][ˈlɪmɪt] [美][ˈlɪmɪt] 中英文小故事：按限制时速行驶 一个警官坐在高速公路旁，等候抓超速行驶的司机。警察看到一辆车以时速22英里的速度接近。他想：“这个司机和超速飞行的司机一样的危险！” 于是，他打开他的警灯和拦住这辆汽车，他注意到，车里有五个老太太，两个在前面的座位，三个在后面，她们都是白人，睁着大眼睛。 司机很困惑，对他说：“警官，我不明白，我正是按照限制的速度行驶！有什么问题吗。” “夫人，”警官回答说：“你没有超速，但是你应该知道，速度慢于限制速度，同样也可能对其他司机造成危险。” “比极限的速度慢？不，先生，我是按二十二英里每小时的速度驾驶的！”老妇人有点得意地说。 警察忍住笑，对她解释：“22”是路线名称，，不是速度限制。她感到不好意思，她笑了，感谢警官指出她的错误。 警官说：“现在我可以让你走了，夫人，但是我必须问…你车里的人没事吧？她们似乎非常震惊，以至于在这段时间里，她们什么都没有说。” ”哦，她们在一分钟内就可以恢复。我们刚从142号公路走过来。” Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer see's a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!"So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back, wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?" "Ma'am," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers." "Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly twenty-two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle exp lains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. "But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the officer asks. "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 142." 中英文例句 That is the limit for teachers. 这就是教师们的限制.
