Part IV：句子翻译
1. 我回到家时一定得有凌晨两点钟了。我拼命按门铃要把我妻子给叫醒，但她在呼呼大睡，所以我从花园的棚子里拿了把梯子，靠在墙上，开始爬向卧室的窗户。
2. 我都快要爬上去了，这时听到下面一个讥讽的声音说道：“我不认为窗户在夜里这个时间还需要擦吧。”我朝下一看，当看到是一名警察时差点从梯子上掉下去。我马上就后悔自己那样作答了，但我却真的是这样说的：“我喜欢夜里擦窗户。”“我也一样，”这警察用同样的语气答道。不好意思打搅您了。我最讨厌在一个人忙着工作的时候打搅他了，但能否请您跟我到警察局走一趟？
3.“噢，我情愿留在这里，”我喊叫道。“你明白，我忘了钥匙了。”幸运的是，喊叫声吵醒了我妻子，就在那警察已开始朝我爬来的时候她打开了窗户。
答案：
1. It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.
2. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, “I don’t think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.” I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, “I enjoyed cleaning windows at night.” “So do I,” answered the policeman in the same tone. “Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he’s busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?”
3. “Well, I’d prefer to stay here,” I shouted. “You see, I’ve forgotten my key.” Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
