推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.62W 次

A teenager who went out clubbing in Manchester with his mates woke up in Paris the following morning after booking a flight in the early hours.
一個英國青年在曼徹斯特和朋友逛吧,第二天早晨醒來發現自己昨晚喝醉了訂了張機票,自己現在身在巴黎。

Luke Harding was getting a cab home from the nightclub, nicknamed Tokes, in Oldham when he found his passport in his pocket and drunkenly decided to visit the Eiffel Tower.
當醉醺醺的盧克·哈爾丁從奧爾德姆的一家暱稱爲Tokes的夜總會離開,準備打車回家時,發現自己隨身攜帶了護照,便決定要去拜訪一下埃菲爾鐵塔。

Mr Harding, a sheet metal worker, asked the shocked taxi driver to head immediately for Manchester Airport then booked a last minute 6am flight for £100 through Flybe to the French capital using his mobile phone. The 19-year-old eventually woke up in a toilet cubicle at Charles De Gaulle Airport - 500 miles from where he started his night to remember.
19歲的盧克是一位鈑金工,他告訴出租車司機立刻去曼徹斯特機場——出租車司機也驚訝不已。他在手機上花100英鎊、趕在最後時間從歐洲澤西島航空公司訂到了早上6點飛往法國航班的機票。最後他醒來時,發現自己在法國戴高樂機場的一個廁所隔間裏,離他昨晚出發的地方已經有500英里了。

Pals nursing a giant hangover from a night out at the club were stunned to see a sheepish Luke had tweeted a picture of himself standing next to the Eiffel Tower and then another with the caption: 'Sat outside the Arc De Triumph (sic) eating a croissant.'
盧克的夥伴們正在設法緩解通宵泡吧帶來的宿醉不適感,他們吃驚地看到盧克發了一條帶照片的微博,在第一張照片上盧克正站在埃菲爾鐵塔旁邊,第二張照片上用大寫字母寫道:“站在凱旋門外吃着羊角麪包。”

News of his unexpected excursion spread like wildfire around the social media site with many messages poking fun at the travelling teenager.
盧克醉後意外之旅的消息如野火一般在社交網絡上瘋傳,許多網友發消息取笑這個青年。

He was eventually picked up 12 hours later at Manchester by friends when he had to pay out a further £170 to get a flight back to the UK. The entire escapade cost him a total of £300.
他不得不向朋友借了170英鎊買機票回到英國,最終12個小時之後,他回到了曼徹斯特,他的朋友在機場迎接他。這趟意外之旅全程共花了他300英鎊。

Luke was inundated with messages from Twitter uses amused by his escapade. Mark Ingham said: 'I’ve ended up in a few scary places after a night out in Tokes but never Paris. Take a bow.'
被逗樂了的網友針對此事發的推特如洪水一般將盧克淹沒。馬克·英格哈姆說:“我在Tokes酒吧通宵泡吧之後、也常會醒來發現自己身處某個可怕的地方,但從來沒有發現自己在巴黎過。給跪了。”

Manchester Airport declined to comment about the incident. Flybe said they were unable to provide a comment.
曼徹斯特機場和歐洲澤西島航空公司拒絕就此事發表評論。
