Asking the Way

请看下面的一段对话：

A: Excuse me, how can I get to the bookstore? 打扰了，请问去书店的路怎么走？

B: Go along the Xinhua Street and turn left at the first street. Then go across the bridge and walk on for about 100 meters. It’s on your right side. 沿着新华路走，在第一个街口向左拐。（然后）过桥，继续往前走约100米，就在你的右边。

A: Thank you! 谢谢你。

解析：对话里的句子是我们问路和指路时的常用表达法。

类似的“问路”用语还有（以到医院为例）：

Excuse me, where’s the hospital / the nearest hospital?

Excuse me, which is the way to the hospital?

Excuse me, is there a hospital near here?

Excuse me, can / could you tell me the way to the hospital?

Excuse me, can / could you tell me how to get to the hospital?

Excuse me, can / could you tell me how I can get to the hospital?

如果别人向你问路，你又熟悉这条路，你将如何帮助别人呢？

Go along/ down this street. 沿着这条街走。

Go straight ahead. 一直往前走。

Turn left at the second street. 在第二条街道向左拐。

Turn right at the second crossing. 在第二个十字路口向右拐。

Go up this street to the end. 沿着这条街一直走到尽头。

No. 5 bus can take you to ... 5路汽车会带你到……

Then you can change to No. 3 bus. 然后你可以换乘3路车。

It’s about fifteen minutes’ walk. 步行大约需要15分钟。

It’s about fifteen kilometers away from here. 离这儿大约15千米远。

You can’t miss it. 你不会错过的。

如果自己不知道，可以说：

I’m sorry, I don’t know. I’m new here. You can go and ask that cleaner.对不起，我不知道。我初来乍到。你可以去问那位清洁工人。

当你请求别人帮忙，但对方因故无法帮助你而向你表示歉意时，你应该礼貌地说一声：

Thank you all the same. / Thank you anyway. 尽管如此，还是要谢谢你。

现在让我们来练习一下吧！

在下面空白处填上恰当的句子，使其成为一段符合逻辑的对话。

A: Excuse me. Do you know the way to the railway station?

B: Sorry, I don’t know.  1_____. You can ask the old woman over there.

A: 2_____.

(To the woman)

A: Excuse me. 3_____?

C: The train station? It’s about 15 kilometers away from here. First, you need to take the No. 76 bus here. 4_____. The streetcar will take you there. 5_____.

A: Thank you very much.

 

Key：1. I’m new here

2. Thank you all the same

3. Which is the way to the train  station

4. Then you can change to No. 5 streetcar

5. You can’t miss it
