GPS指挥老太太环游记
A Belgian woman took an astonishing 1,800 mile detour through six countries after her car navigation system went wrong.
一名比利时女子汽车上的导航系统发生了故障,她开车行驶了1800英里,穿越了6个国家,路程之远令人惊叹。
Sabine Moreau, 67, had intended to drive to Brussels from her home in Solre-sur-Sambre to pick up a friend from the train station - a journey of just 38 miles.
67岁的萨宾·莫罗本打算从位于桑布尔河畔索勒尔市的家开车去布鲁塞尔,去火车站接她的一位朋友——总路程只有38英里。
But she took a catastrophic wrong turn and eventually ended up 900 miles away in Zagreb, Croatia.
但她在一个拐弯处犯了致命的错误,最后将车开至了900英里之外克罗地亚的萨格勒布市。
Despite crossing five borders and seeing multiple-language traffic signs, she did not stop to question her sat-nav until two days later when she realised that she may not be in Belgium any more.
尽管穿过了5个国界,看见了各种语言的标志,她都没有停下来想想是不是她的导航系统出了问题。直到两天之后,她意识到自己可能已经不在比利时了。
Although she stopped to refuel her car several times, Ms Moreau did not think her TomTom could be leading her down the wrong path.
虽然好多次她停下来给车加油,莫罗女士没有想到过她车上装的TomTom导航仪会带她驶向错误的方向。
‘I saw all kinds of traffic signs. First in French, then in German - Cologne, Aachen, Frankfurt,’ she told a Belgian news website. ‘But I didn't ask myself any questions. I was just distracted, so I kept my foot down,’ she added.
“我看到各种不同的交通标志。先是法语的,然后是德语的——科隆、亚琛、法兰克福这些城市的名字,”她对比利时一家新闻网站说。“但我什么都没有问自己。我当时心不在焉,所以我也没觉得不安,”她又补充说。
