I was taking my mother for a drive，and she' d scold me whenever I went over the speed limit. Unfortunately I dismissed her advice，and a state trooper gulled¹ me over and issued a ticket.

每次我开快车超速行驶，母亲都责怪我。今天我又开车带母亲出去，结果我还是忘记了她的教侮，开了快车。一位巡逻警叫我停了车，并给了我张罚单。

As my mother and I continued on our way，I complained that he should have let rne off with a warning."Joan,"she said，"I gave you the warning. He gave you the ticket. "

我们继续赶路，我抱怨那巡逻警不应罚我，应先给我个警告。妈妈说:“琼，我给你的是警告，但他给你的是罚单。”
