 John flew to the U.S. from his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland when he was 19 years old. He headed to California for a semester studying abroad. It was his first time traveling overseas by himself, and he was a little nervous.

约翰19岁时从家乡苏格兰格拉斯哥飞往美国。他前往加利福尼亚州留学一个学期。这是他第一次独自出国旅行，他有点紧张。

Luckily, he met a young Irish couple along the way. They were going to Venice Beach, which wasn’t far from John’s final destination of Newport Beach. They decided to make the final leg of the journey together. There was just one problem: None of them knew how to get to either city from Los Angeles.

幸运的是，一路上他遇到了一对年轻的爱尔兰夫妇。他们要去威尼斯海滩，那里离约翰的最终目的地纽波特海滩不远。他们决定一起走最后一程。只有一个问题：他们都不知道如何从洛杉矶到达这两个城市。

“I think we may take three or four, maybe even five different bus journeys, possibly going in different directions each time,” John said.

Each time they asked bus drivers for directions, they’d end up more confused.

约翰说：“我认为我们可能会乘坐三到四次，甚至五次不同的巴士，每次都可能朝不同的方向行驶。”。

每次他们向公交车司机问路时，他们都会更加困惑。

They were getting more and more upset. They hadn’t packed much food or water, just not very prepared in every respect. It’s not just that they were kind of tired and hungry. There was certainly a level of anxiety growing in their minds as well.

他们越来越沮丧。他们没有装太多的食物和水，只是在各个方面都没有做好准备。这不仅仅是因为他们有点累和饿。当然，他们的心里也有一定程度的焦虑。

Eventually they decided to find a map. They bought one at a gas station and stood outside, trying to make sense of it. “It couldn’t be more obvious that we have got lost,” John said, laughing helplessly.

最终他们决定找一张地图。他们在加油站买了一辆，站在外面，试图弄清楚。“我们迷路了，这再明显不过了，”约翰无奈地笑着说。

For about 15 minutes, the group stood outside examining the map. They were on the verge of giving up when a young woman approached them. She was wearing a T-shirt that said “Need help?”

在大约15分钟的时间里，这群人站在外面查看地图。当一位年轻女子走近他们时，他们正处于放弃的边缘。她穿着一件T恤，上面写着“需要帮助吗？”

“I’m not a person of faith,” John said to the couple. “But I admit that at present I do have a sense of, well, has this person been sent from heaven?” The young woman just looked at them and said, “Do you guys need any help?” The three tired travelers told her how they had gotten lost on the way to Venice Beach. Pointing to a blue car in which sat a middle-aged woman, the young woman replied,“ Maybe my mum and I can help you.” 

“我不是一个有信仰的人，”约翰对这对夫妇说。“但我承认，目前我确实有一种感觉，嗯，这个人是从天堂来的吗？”年轻的女人看着他们说：“你们需要帮助吗？”三个疲惫的旅行者告诉她，他们是如何在去威尼斯海滩的路上迷路的。年轻女子指着一辆蓝色的车，车上坐着一位中年妇女，回答说：“也许我和妈妈能帮你。”

One possible version:

    They expected the young woman could tell them how to get to Venice Beach but instead she offered something even better. “Why don’t you just get in the car? My mother and I will take you,” the young woman replied. Relieved and grateful, John and his new friends got into the woman’s car. On the journey, the young woman discovered that John was going to travel to Newport Beach. “Well, don’t worry, I will help you coordinate your trip to Newport Beach tomorrow,” the young woman suggested. Not only did they drop off the Irish couple in Venice Beach, they also provided accommodations for John.
