A Letter of Complaint
20th October
Dear Mr. Jackson,
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(ài)的杰克遜先生：
你也許還記得我們?cè)湍愫⒆泳毩?xí)樂(lè)器時(shí)發(fā)出的噪音進(jìn)行過(guò)討論。你同意確保他們?cè)谕砩蠒?huì)停止練習(xí)。
那么你就可以想象當(dāng)我意識(shí)到事情并沒(méi)有改變，情況依然照舊時(shí)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(lè)，但我已經(jīng)受夠了。坦率地說(shuō)，我不打算對(duì)這種情況繼續(xù)容忍下去。
我認(rèn)為是你應(yīng)該意識(shí)到自己作為社區(qū)一員的責(zé)任的時(shí)候了，我必須向你提出警告，除非你設(shè)法改變這種情況，否則我將不得不采取法律行動(dòng)。我已經(jīng)將此信的一份復(fù)印件寄給我的律師。
真誠(chéng)的彼得·胡戈
