一个小小的错误
on 28 june 1914, archduke franz ferdinand, heir to the austro-hungarian throne, visited bosnia, which had been annexed by the austro-hungarian empire. a bosnian nationalist tossed a grenade at his car, but the archduke deftly batted it away. it exploded, and injured one of his aides. the archduke continued on, but soon decided to alter his schedule and visit the injured aide in the hospital. unfamiliar with the route, his driver took a wrong turn. an official shouted,"that's the wrong way," and the driver stopped the car.unfortunately, it did so right in front of another would-be assassin, who drew his pistol and fired. mortally wounded, the archduke muttered"it's nothing", and then lost consciousness. his death triggered world war i, which would claim more than 10 million lives. all because of a wrong turn.

一九一四年六月二十八日，奥匈帝国皇储弗兰茨．费迪南大公往访被其帝国吞并的波斯尼亚。波斯尼亚一位民族主义者向他的汽车扔手榴弹。
弗兰茨．费迪南身手敏捷，把手榴弹挡开，炸伤了一位随从。他继续行程，但走了不久，决定改道，往医院探望那位受伤随从。司机不熟悉往医院的道路，汽车错转了方向，一名官员喊道：「走错路了！」司机就停下车来。汽车不巧正停在另一个刺客之前。那刺客拔出手枪开火。
弗兰茨．费迪南中了致命一枪，喃喃自语说「没事的」，随即失去知觉。他的死亡，触发第一次世界大战，超过一千万人在大战之中丧命，而这一切，都是因为汽车错转了方向。
