曾经在旅行时迷过路吗?如果你连要去的酒店都找不到,那假日一开始就会变得糟透了!但是如果你学习这些有用的短语,你将能够问路并在任何说英语的城市找到你要去的地方了。
无论你怎么问,最好的开场白就是这样的短语"Excuse me" 或者说"Could you help me?"。这样你问到的那个人将会对你的礼貌非常满意并常常会为你提供更多的帮助!
"Could you tell me how to get to _____?" 是问去具体某个地方,象博物馆,酒店,或街道,的标准句型。
如果你不是问一个具体的地方,但需要找到附近的银行,地铁站,厕所,等等的地方,那么最好的方式就是用这样的短语"Where is the closest_____?"
人们解释事物所在地最常用的一种方式就是使用术语'blocks'。 block 是在两个十字路口之间的一段街区。因此'the next block'意味着下个路口之后的那段街区,而three blocks ahead意味着在同一条街道上但过接下来的三个路口。
另一种表示距离有多远的方式即是使用象这样的短语'the third right'或'the next left'。因此如果有人说"Take the third street on the left"意思是你应该走过两个路口然后在第三个路口左转。
叫别人左转或右转的不同方式有好几种。'Take a left', 'go left', 'turn left' 和 'make a left' 都代表同样的意思:左转。 "Go around the corner"意思是在下个街道转身但不跨越。
用建筑或标志物的指向。"It's just past the bank"意思是如果你走过银行,你要找的地方就在接下来的几幢建筑物中。'Opposite','across from',和facing 都代表同一个意思-在同一条街道上,但在另一边。

初学英语的朋友请注意: 这24 个常用日常用语语气和礼貌问题。 如果你不是去打架,其中有些并不在日常对话中常用(因为不太礼貌) 譬如 15. 那又怎样?So what? 是很有挑衅味道的; 25.你以为你是谁? Who do you think you are? 言外之意,我瞧不起你,我不会听你的; 24. 你到底要说什么? Get to the point! 言外之意,你不知道你在说什么,或你在说蠢话; 22. 我早就知道了 I'm fully(well) aware of that. You don't have to tell me. 言外之意,你把我当傻瓜啊。平时只说,Yes, I know. 就可以了; 18.别装傻了 Don't act stupid! Stupid 这个词在任何场合都要避免使用,否则你会被人侧目的; 2. 请你客气点 Who do you think you're talking to? 如果你是个黑帮老大,你可以这么说。 但如果你真是抗议对方的用词不当,譬如对方说了脏话,你可以说,Please watch your word; 1.小事一桩 That's a piece of cake. 有傲慢之意,除非关系很熟,一般不要在别人感谢你时说。 别人感激你时,你只说,You are very welcome. 或 My pleasure. 就可以了。 |
