A pretty，well-dressed young lady stopped a taxi in a big square （廣場），and she said to the driver， "Do you see that young man at the other side of the square？"
    "Yes，" said the taxi driver."The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently（不耐煩地） at his watch every few seconds."
    "Take me over there，" said the young lady.
    There were a lot of cars and buses in the square，so the taxi driver asked，"Are you afraid to cross the street？"
    "Oh，no!" said the young lady. "But I promised （許諾，答應(yīng)） that I would meet the young man for lunch at one o'clock，and it is now a quarter to two.If I arrive there in a taxi，at least it seems as if I had tried not to be late."
