　　When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

　　“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

　　I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

　　We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

　　English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘Mo, thank you.’

　　原文翻译：

　　当我住在西班牙的时候，我的一些西班牙朋友决定开车去英国。在他们离开之前，他们问我如何找到住处的建议。我建议他们呆在“床和早餐”的房子里，因为这种住宿方式给了外国游客一个和家人讲英语的好机会。我的朋友听了我的建议，但他们回来时讲了一些有趣的故事。

　　他们说：“我们没有呆在床上和早餐房里，因为我们发现大多数家庭都外出度假。”

　　我觉得这很奇怪。我终于明白发生了什么事。我的朋友不会说英语，他们认为“空缺”是“假日”，因为西班牙语中的“假日”是“空缺”。所以他们没有去房子，外面的牌子上写着“空房”，英文意思是有免费的房间。然后我的朋友们去了房子，那里的牌子上写着“禁止空置”，因为他们认为这意味着房子的主人不在度假。但他们发现这些房子都满了。结果，他们住在

　　我们嘲笑这件事以及我的朋友在阅读其他标志时犯的错误。在西班牙语中，“消遣”一词意味着乐趣。在英语中，这意味着工人正在修路，你必须走另一条路。当我的朋友们在路标上看到“转移注意力”这个词时，他们以为他们会玩得很开心。相反，这条路在一个大坑里结束了。

　　英国人学习外语也有问题。一次在巴黎。当有人给我更多的时候。咖啡，我用法语说“谢谢”。我的意思是我想要更多的，然而，令我惊讶的是，咖啡壶被拿走了!后来我发现法语里的“谢谢”是“莫，谢谢”。
