開車問路:

A: Excuse me, I am looking for the post office but I am lost. Would you please show me how to get there?
A: 耽誤你一會,我在找郵局,可是我迷路了。請問可否告訴我怎麼走?
B: Sure, it isn’t very far. Stay on this street until you hit the first traffic light…
B:沒問題,不是很遠。沿著這條街走,直到第一個紅綠燈……
A: OK…
A: 是……
B: Turn right and keep going for about 5 blocks.
B: 向右轉,再一直走過五個街口。
A:Which street is that?
A: 那是哪條街呢?
B: Finch Street. Then you will see a gas station on your right. Make a right there, and that is Park Avenue.
B: Finch Street。然後你會在右邊見到一個加油站,在那兒向右轉就是Park Avenue了。
A: OK…
A: 是……
B: Pass two stop signs and you will see a park. The post office is just across the street from it.
B: 過了兩個停的標誌後,你會見到一個公園,郵局就在馬路的對面。
A: OK, thank you very much indeed.
A: 好,十分多謝您。
B: You’re welcome. I hope you find it.
B: 不要客氣。希望你找到。


行人問路:

A: Excuse me, is the hospital far from here?
A: 耽誤你一會,醫院離這兒遠嗎?
B: Yes, quite far. It will take you twenty-five minutes. I guess there is a short-cut…
B: 很遠的,要走二十五分鐘左右,但有一條捷徑……
A: Yes, please show me.
A: 很好,請告訴我。
B: From here, walk straight on and follow this road for 5 minutes. Turn left on Havard Road.
B: 從這裏一直往前走五分鐘,到了Havard Road的時候向左轉。
A: OK…
A: 是……
B: When you are on Harvard Road, take the sidewalk next to Alpine Hotel and you will see a parking lot beside the hotel.
B: 在 Havard Road上,從Alpine Hotel旁邊的行人道走,你會看到旅館旁邊有一個停車場。
A: I see…
A: 我明白……
B: Walk through the parking lot, and at the other side is Crystal Road. Head north on Crystal Road and walk for another 10 minutes.
B: 穿過停車場的另一邊是Crystal Road。往北再走十分鐘。
A: Yes.
A: 是。
B: You will see that there is a tall gray building down a few blocks on the right hand side of the road. The hospital is just behind that building on Forest Street.
B: 過幾個街口,你會見到一幢灰色大廈在右手邊,而醫院就在Forest Street上這幢大廈的後面。
A: I see.
A: 明白。
B: So keep walking and you will see. You can’t miss it.
B: 所以一直走,你就會看見,不會錯過的。
A: OK, really appreciate your help.
A: 好,十分感激你的幫助。
