"Please don't drive so fast, "Mrs Lee said to her husband, "If you don't slow down, we're going to have an accident(事故). " "Don't worry, my dear, "said her husband. "I'm a very good driver. You are quite safe. We must hurry. If we don't, we'll be late for the party. "
"If you don't slow down, "said his wife, "we'll never get to the party. We'll be in hospital. "
Just then a car came out of a side road and crossed in front of their car. Mr Lee stepped hard on the brakes (刹车) and the car stopped suddenly.
"You are right, my dear, " said Mr Lee. "We are going too fast. I'll go more slowly. "
