A night club just opened near where you live. You are very unhappy about the situation because it disturbs the peace of the neighborhood. Write a letter to your local government official. Say who you are and explain why you are unhappy and suggest what should be done about it.（投诉信） 
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 with recently. 
　　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 moved here five years ago. However, a nightclub recently opened right across the street from my apartment 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 sexually¹ explicit² pictures displayed on the outside, which I find extremely offensive³. Also, the noise level during the early hours of the morning is so intense that it has really disturbed my sleep. Consequently, I find that I am unable to concentrate fully⁴ 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 my complaint. Indeed, the consequences of my making any mistake due to my lack of sleep can be very 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 the club down. Nevertheless, I know very clearly that people need to make a living and I would not like to be responsible for people losing their jobs. Hence, if you could please ensure that the offensive pictures are removed, and the noise level is kept to a minimum level, I would be more than satisfied. 
　　I look forward to your reply. 
Yours sincerely, 
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Kenny Gao
