A couple from Russia was once visiting Miami. They wanted to take a walk and to see the city, but they were afraid they might get lost. They did not speak any English.
After they left their hotel, they went to the first street corner and looked at the name of the street. Then they carefully copied the name into their notebook. They thought that this would help them find their way back if they got lost.
They walked for hours through the city, and suddenly they realized that they were lost. They found a police officer and asked for help, but the officer didn’t speak their native language.
After an hour they found a person who could help them. She was an interpreter（翻译）who spoke both their native language and English. They explained that they didn’t know the name of their hotel, but they knew which corner it was on. They showed the interpreter what they had copied into their notebook, and the interpreter began to laugh.
The words which they had so carefully copied were “one way street”.
