执着日本人被GPS成功导入海里

Three Japanese tourists holidaying in Australia came unstuck when their satnav told them they could drive from the mainland to an island – failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.
三个在澳大利亚度假的日本人被困住，因为他们的GPS告诉他们可以从主岛一路开至小岛，不过GPS导航显然没有提及中间15千米的水域和泥土。

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay in Queensland to nearby North Stradbroke Island they started to notice the firm gravel surface they were driving on giving way to the renowned bay mangrove mud.
这三名日本游客开着租来的车，从昆士兰的莫莱顿湾开至附近的北斯特布鲁克岛。沿路开过去，他们慢慢注意到坚硬的砾石路逐渐变成了海湾地区特有的淤泥。

However, confident their satnav would direct them to a road soon, they decided to plough on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their Hyundai Getz was up to its axles in mud. To make matters worse the tide started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle.
不过因为坚信GPS能带领他们迅速找到正确的路，他们决定继续前行。行驶500米之后，他们的座驾现代车的车轮终于陷在了泥泞里。更糟糕的是海潮开始了，很快他们就被迫不得不放弃交通工具开始求救。

Just four hours later the car was stranded in two metres of water – to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.
仅仅2小时以后，车子就已经陷在了2米深的水里——岸边的观看者和船上过路人以及摆渡船家都乐得不行。
