When visiting a brothel, it’s normal to try to sneak in without being noticed. But the driver of an AU$175,000 Mercedes-Benz was far from unobtrusive when accidentally dropping into a notorious Melbourne brothel on Sunday.
當逛妓院時，通常都是要偷偷摸摸地進去，不要引人注意。但一輛17.5萬澳幣賓士車的駕駛人，週日突然闖入墨爾本一間惡名昭彰的妓院時，卻是一點也不低調。
The driver lost control of his car while trying to turn a corner, with the result that the Mercedes ploughed over a steel fence and planted itself in the front of the Ladies For Gentlemen brothel.
這名駕駛人試圖轉彎時，失去對車子的控制，結果賓士車衝過鐵欄杆，停在「紳士專用淑女」妓院前面。
The driver legged it following the crash.

Ladies For Gentlemen is one of Melbourne’s oldest and most expensive brothels, according to The Age, with escorts starting at AU$300 per hour.
「紳士專用淑女」是墨爾本最古老與最昂貴的妓院之一，根據「時代報」指出，每小時應召價從澳幣300元起跳。

這名徒步逃離現場的駕駛人，未在車禍事件中受傷。警方相信他們知道這名駕駛人的身分，正呼籲目擊者指認。
