Woman Sues Neighbours for BBQ
.
Summary:
Australian woman Cilla Carden announced that she would not rest until the court, which ruled twice that she went too far, met her demands that her neighbours should stop barbecuing, keep their children and pets quiet, reduce the brightness of their courtyard light, and change the plants in the common garden. Understandably it is a nuisance having to put up with nuisances, but perhaps it is more important to avoid making a nuisance of ourselves.

Language Enhancement:
Nuisance (n.)(麻煩)
任何惱人的人、物或事情都可以被稱為 nuisance,例如要做某事情很麻煩,可以說 It is a nuisance + doing sth.;想說某人或物很令人心煩,可以說 Sb./sth. + be + a (real/awful) nuisance;如想有禮貌地面對面投訴,句子是 Sorry to / I hate to be a nuisance, but could you…?。原文的 make a nuisance of oneself,意思是廣東話的「俾到麻煩人地」。注意 nuisance 是可數並有複數型態,但一般作單數使用。
e.g. Sorry to be a nuisance, but could you lower the volume of the TV a bit? I’m studying for my exam.
e.g. Whoever lives on the floor above me is a real nuisance! He or she is always making a lot of noise late at night!"
