Laura is at the airport(机场). She waits for her plane. Her plane is to Berlin, and it is 4 hours away. Laura walks around the shops.
After an hour she wants to go to the bathroom. But she doesn't find it. “Where is the bathroom?” she says. She starts asking other people. Laura says to a man,“Excuse me, sir, could you please tell me where the bathroom is?” The man says, “You mean the restroom,right?” Laura says, “No, I mean the bathroom.” “Well, the restroom is over there.” He says and walks away.
Laura doesn't understand(明白). She asks a woman, “Excuse me, madam, could you please tell me where the bathroom is?” “The restroom is over there,” the lady answers and walks away.
Laura is confused. “What's wrong? I need to use the bathroom and they tell me to rest!”
Then Laura gives up(放弃). She feels tired and thinks she needs to rest.
She walks to the restroom. Now she is surprised. She realizes(意识到) the restroom is the name for a public(公共的) bathroom!
