英语翻译
in 1997 jack,an italian american who lived in san francisco,flew from america to italy to visit his relatives.on the way,the plan made a one hour stop to refuel at the new york airport.
thanking that he had arrived,jack got out and spent three days in new york,believing he was in rome.
when has relatives were not there to meet him,jack thought they had been caught in the heavy roman traffic mentioned in their letter.while looking for their address,jack could not help noticing that modernization had changed most,if not all,of the ancien city's landmarks.he also noticed that many people spoke englise with strong american accent.however,he just thought that americans got everywhere.he also believed that so many street signs were written in engish especially for the americans.
jack spoke very little engish himself so he asked a policeman in italian the way to the bus station.as chance would have it,the poiceman came from italy and replied in the same language.after twelve hours traveling round on a bus,the driver handed him over to a second policeman.after brief argument with the policeman,jack was very surprised to find that the rome police had employed someone who did not speak his mother tongue.
jack did not believe he was told that he was in new york.in order to get on a plane to san francisco,the policeman raced him to the airport in a police car with sirens screaming."see",he said to his interpreter."i konw i'm in italy.that's how they drive."[打大写太麻烦,所以没有用大写,有几个地方有破折号,我没有打出来,请见谅哈!
1997年,杰克,一个住在旧金山的意大利裔美国人,从美国飞到意大利去看亲戚.在路上,飞机在纽约机场停留了一个小时加油.杰克以为已经到了意大利罗马了,所以下了飞机,在纽约呆了三天.
当他发现亲戚们没有来接他,杰克还以为他们被罗马繁忙的交通堵住了,他们在信中曾经提到了这一点.在寻找他们住址的时候,杰克不由得留意到现代化已经改变了古罗马城市差不多绝大部分的标志性建筑.他还留意到很多人都说着带着浓重的美国腔的英语.但是,他只是认为这是因为哪里都有美国人,他还认为那么多的街道路牌写的都是英文,这也是专门为了方便美国人.
杰克自己很少说英语,所以他用意大利语向一个警察询问去公共汽车站的路.真巧,警察也是来自意大利,而且用同样的语言回答了他.在公共汽车上穿行了12个小时之后,司机又把他领到了另外一个警察那里.和那个警察短暂地争辩了一番之后,他很惊奇地发现罗马警察局竟然雇佣了不会说他的母语的警察.杰克无法相信别人告诉他他还在纽约.为了搭上去旧金山的飞机,警察用一辆警车一路拉着警笛火速把他带到了机场.“看看”,他对他的翻译说,“我就知道我在意大利.那里的人就是这样开车的.”
