A: Official regulations clearly stipulate that you are prohibited from bringing dogs into any indoor public space. Adhering to this shows respect for others and yourself.

管理条例都有明确规定禁止带狗进入一切室内公共场所。这样做既是尊重别人,也是尊重自己。

B: The owner didn't see the "No pets allowed" sign. She took all the plates the dog licked. 

宠物主人忽视了宠物禁止入内的标语。被狗舔过的餐盘最后被她带走了。
