Translate this passage into English!
Johny sudah mengitari Citra Land Mall tiga kali tetapi
dia belum menemukan ruang kosong untuk memarkir mobilnya. Kemudian dia
memutuskan untuk berhenti di bawah pohon di depan rumah penduduk. Dia memarkir
mobilnya di situ setelah memperoleh ijin dari pemilik rumah itu.
“Kami tidak dapat menjamin keselamatan mobil anda,
tetapi anda boleh memarkirnya di sini atas resiko sendiri,” kata pemilik rumah
itu.
Johny menggangguk dan berpikir bahwa sebaiknya dia
tidak memberitahu petugas parkir yang sedang bertugas di dekat tempat itu
dengan harapan agar dia bisa parkir gratis. Bahkan dia sengaja bertingkah
seolah-olah sebagai tamu yang mengunjungi rumah itu. Pemilik rumah sebenarnya
tidak suka akan perilaku Johny, namun sayang sekali dia hanya mengomel di
belakang dan tak pernah memberitahukan hal itu kepadanya.
Ketika pulang dari belanja, mobil Johny rusak. Dia
berusaha memperbaikinya dan makan waktu yang cukup lama. Sebenarnya, dia harus
mengikuti ujian kurang lebih satu jam lagi. Karena merasa tidak tahan menunggu
lebih lama lagi, maka dia memanggil dua petugas parkir yang sedang berada di
tempat itu. Setelah memberi lembaran Rp 10.000 dan beberapa instruksi agar dilaksanakan
oleh petugas parkir itu, Johny naik ke mobilnya. Mesin Toyota kuno itu mulai
hidup setelah didorong oleh dua orang itu. Ini adalah ongkos parkir termahal
yang pernah dibayar oleh Johny sepanjang hidupnya.
Translated from Bahasa Indonesia into English:
Johny
has been going around Citra Land Mall for three times, but he did not find an
empty space to park his car yet. Then, he decided to stop under a tree in front
of resident's house. He parked his car there after obtaining permission from
the owner of the house.
"We
cannot guarantee the safety of your car, but you may park your car here at your
own risk," said the owner of the house.
Johnny
nodded and thought that he should not tell the parking attendant who was on
duty near the place in the hope that he could park for free. He even deliberately
acts like a guest who visited the house. Actually, the owner of the house does
not really like Johny’s behavior, but unfortunately she was just nag behind his
back and never told him about it.
When
he went back from shopping, Johny’s car was broken. He tried to fix it for
quite a long time. Actually, he might take an examination in about an hour.
Feeling could not stand to wait any longer, so he called out two parking attendants
who were at the place. After giving 10,000 rupiahs and some instructions to be done
by the parking attendants, Johnny got to his car. The ancient Toyota engine
began to work after being pushed by two men. This is the most expensive parking
fees ever paid by Johny throughout his life.
