亲爱的先生、女士：

　　我写此信是要就我最近所面对的可怕状况表达我的不满。

　　Dear Sir or Madam,

　　I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction with the horrible situation I have been faced withrecently.

　　我是圣约翰逊大街玫瑰花园的居民。自我五年前搬到这里，我的生活一直很愉快。然而最近开在我们楼对面街道上的一家夜总会却改变了一切。

　　I’m a resident of Rose Park on St. Johnson Street. I had been enjoying my life since I movedhere five years ago. However, a nightclub recently opened right across the street from myapartment block has completely changed everything.

　　首先，这家夜总会本身就很不堪入目。其窗户搞得黑乎乎的，外面贴着相当淫秽的画，这一点令我感到尤其难以忍受。此外，凌晨时刻的噪音太高，严重影响了我的睡眠，所造成的结果是由于太过疲倦，我无法全力专注于工作。

　　To begin with, the club itself is very unsightly. It has blackened windows with sexually explicitpictures displayed on the outside, which I find extremely offensive. Also, the noise level during theearly hours of the morning is so intense that it has really disturbed my sleep. Consequently, I findthat I am unable to concentrate fully on my job, as I am often too tired.

　　我是本地医院的外科医生，因此，我相信您能够看到我投诉的严重性。事实上，由于我缺乏睡眠而造成任何错误的后果将是十分严重的。

　　I work as a surgeon in the local hospital; therefore, I am sure you can see the gravity of mycomplaint. Indeed, the consequences of my making any mistake due to my lack of sleep can bevery serious indeed.

　　我深知，作为当地政府的一员，您有权关闭这家俱乐部。然而，我也很清楚：人们都需要谋生，而我也不愿意对他人失去工作而负任何责任，因此，如果您能确保那些令人难受的画被撤掉、噪音控制在最低水平，我就将十分满意了。

　　期盼得到您的答复。

　　您真诚的

　　Kenny Gao

　　I understand that, as a member of the local government, you have the power to close theclub down. Nevertheless, I know very clearly that people need to make a living and I would not liketo be responsible for people losing their jobs. Hence, if you could please ensure that the offensivepictures are removed, and the noise level is kept to a minimum level, I would be more thansatisfied.

　　I look forward to your reply.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Kenny Gao 本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑。
