2  An 81-year-old man ended up in Germany by accident after trying to get from Newcastle, Great Britain, to Rome, Italy.   1  The old-age pensioner was on a mission to see the Pope, who is head of the Catholic church, and decided to make his way there by car. He was surprised when his GPS system told him he had arrived, although there were no signs of any of the famous buildings or architecture. The man parked but didn’t put on the handbrake of his car properly. His car rolled backwards, and in a striking display of irony, hit a sign saying “Rom”—the small town in North Germany he had mistakenly plugged into the GPS system. Police said that the car had come to a halt after hitting the sign, but did not appear to be seriously damaged, although an ambulance was called to check on the pensioner. The man, who lives in the UK and is originally Italian, might have been confused by the fact that Rome is written Roma in Italian and Rom in German.

 2  一位81岁的男子试图从英国纽卡斯尔前往意大利罗马，最终却意外抵达德国。 1  这位退休老人想去看望教皇（天主教的领袖） ，他决定开车去那里。当GPS系统提示已经到达时，他很惊讶，不过那里没有任何著名建筑的指示牌。老人停了车，但没有把汽车的手刹拉好。他的车向后倒退，然后出现了极其出人意料且可笑的一幕，汽车撞上了一个写着“Rom”的指示牌—他错误地把Rom这个德国北部小镇连接到了GPS系统。警方称，这辆车在撞到指示牌后停了下来，但看起来并没有受到严重损坏虽然叫了教护车来为这位退休老人做检查。这位住在英国、祖籍意大利的老人可能被一件事搞糊涂了：Rome在意大利语中写作Roma，在德语中写作Rom。
