抱怨信(A Letter of Complaint)
you may remember that we have discussed the noise that your children make while they are practicing their musical instruments. you agreed to make sure that they would stop practicing in
the evenings.
you can imagine my surprise, then, when i realized that things had not changed and the situation was continuing as before. i find it difficult to stay in the house and i invent any excuse to go out for the evening to be away from the terrible noise. much as i like music, i have had enough, and to be
honest, i am not prepared to put up with the situation anymore.
i think it is high time you realized your responsibilities as a member of the community, and i must warn you that unless you do something about the situation, i will be forced to take legal action. i have sent a copy of this letter to my lawyer.
yours sincerely,
peter hugo
抱怨信
親愛的杰克遜先生：
你也許還記得我們曾就你孩子練習樂器時發(fā)出的噪音進行過討論。你同意確保他們在晚上會停止練習。
那么你就可以想象當我意識到事情并沒有改變，情況依然照舊時是多么驚訝了。我發(fā)現(xiàn)晚上很難呆在屋里，于是找各種借口出去，以擺脫那可怕的噪音。 雖然我很喜歡音樂，但我已經(jīng)受夠了。坦率地說，我不打算對這種情況繼續(xù)容忍下去。
我認為是你應該意識到自己作為社區(qū)一員的責任的時候了，我必須向你提出警告，除非你設法改變這種情況，否則我將不得不采取法律行動。我已經(jīng)將此信的一份復印件寄給我的律師。
真誠的彼得·胡戈
