英语翻译
The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scotti of San Francisco .Once he flew from the US to his home town in Italy to see someone at home.The plane made a one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York.As he thought he had arrived home,Mr Scotti got off the plane.He thought he was in Rome .
When nobody was there to meet him,Mr Scotti thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic.While looking for their addresses,Mr Scotti found that the old "Rome" had changed a lot.Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones.
He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many street signs were written in English.
Mr Scotti knew very little English,so he asked a policeman(in Italian) the way to the bus station.He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language.
After twelve hours' traveling round on a bus,the driver handed him over to a second policeman.He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English of Italian.
To get him on a plane back to San Francisco,He was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens(警报) on."Look," said Scotti to his interpreter ,"I know I'm in Italy.That's how they drive."
世界最差游客是旧金山的尼古拉斯SCOTTI(译成斯克迪吧).有一次,他从美国飞到他在意大利的家乡,看望家里人.这架飞机在纽约肯尼迪机场停一小时.因为他认为他已回到家,SCOTTI先生走下飞机.他以为他是在罗马.
当没有人在那里迎接他,SCOTTI先生以为他们也许遇到了交通繁忙.当寻找他们的地址时,
SCOTTI先生发现,旧的“罗马”已经发生了很大变化.许多老建筑被替换为现代的高楼.
他还发现,许多人讲英语,而不是意大利语以及许多用英文写的路牌.
SCOTTI知道很少的英语,所以他问一名警察(用意大利语)到公交车站的路.他正好找到了一位也生于意大利并用相同语言回答他的的警察
经过12小时的旅游巴士之旅,司机把他交给第二个警察.他问警察罗马警方为什么聘这么多讲英语的意大利警察.
为了让他到一架回到旧金山的飞机,他被一辆警车送到机场(打着警报).“瞧,”SCOTTI对他的口译员说:“我知道我在意大利,这就是他们开的车.”
