It was a bad night for Lewis. His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected.
对于刘易斯来说这是一个糟糕的晚上。他在邻镇研究花的时间完全超过了他的期望。
It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his building's parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street, looking for a parking space.

Lewis didn't see a “No Parking” sign, but he had expected that if his parking was allowed there most the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces.
路易斯没看到禁止停车的牌子。他认为如果这边可以停车,大多数停车位就能停。然后他看见一个小停车场有免费车位。
He was so glad to see them that he didn't even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked and hurried home to go to bed.
他看到后很高兴,甚至没有看入口的标志。他开进去停好,然后匆匆回家睡觉。
