Family looking for missing grandma after police drop her off at Monash freeway exit
A family is searching for their grandmother after she failed to return from her morning walk on Wednesday.But police had already found the 80-year-old Chinese woman hours earlier - only to drop her off at a freeway exit.
周三早上，一位中国80岁的老人祝世芬在澳洲走丢。现在她的家人正在焦急地寻找。但他们没想到的是，今天傍晚的时候澳洲警察已经找到老人，用警车把她放在了高速公路的出口处。
A police media spokeswoman said a Highway Patrol Unit came across the elderly woman, who doesn't speak any English, walking along the Monash Freeway about 7.30am on Wednesday. Police took Shifen Zhu from the area for "her safety".
警方发言人称，高速巡逻人员在Monash Freeway上看到了这位老人，她不会讲英语，她从周三上午7:30便开始沿着这条高速公路行走。警方出于“安全考虑‘将她带离高速路。
"When they reached Foster Road [exit], she indicated she wanted to get out, so the officers have let her out," the spokeswoman said. "She appeared fit and alert, so there were no concerns for her welfare except for ensuring she was no longer walking on the freeway."
"当我们到达Foster Road出口的时候，老人表示想要下车。她看上去很精神，所以当把她带离高速公路后，就没必要担心她的安全了。"
Her family reported her missing at 1.15pm. The woman was last seen walking along Hardner Road in Mount Waverley about 8am on Wednesday. Her granddaughter Sophie Du told Channel Seven news that she'd been told Shifen didn't look like she was lost. "They thought she could find her home," Ms Du said. "But the fact is she doesn't know anything in Australia." Victoria Police senior media officer Leonie Johnson said Shifen was visiting family from China and had no phone or money with her.
她的家人于周三1:15pm报警，并表示最后见她是在早上8点。她的孙女告诉媒体：家人一开始并不认为她是走丢了。他们觉得老人可以走回来，而事实上，老人对澳洲一无所知。她来澳洲探亲，身上既没有电话也没有钱。
"Police and Shifen's family hold serious concerns for her safety due to her age and a medical condition which requires daily medication that was not taken today," Ms Johnson said. "Shifen is Chinese, has short grey hair and dark brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a beige or cream shirt and pants."
警方慰问了老人的家人。发言人称：考虑到老人的80高龄和她的身体状况，警方和家人都十分担心老人的安全。她每天都要吃药，但是今天已经一天没吃过了。老人是灰色短发，深棕色眼球。最后见到她时，她身穿米黄色的衬衫和长裤。
The police Air Wing is currently searching the area, along with local police and SES members. Anyone with information in relation to Shifen's whereabouts or anyone who sees her is urged to contact Triple Zero (000) or Glen Waverley Police Station on 9566 1555.
警方正在尽力寻找，如果有人看到这位老人，请拨打电话000，或者Glen Waverley分局电话：9566 1555
