今天的這段對話,在討論問路,
去霍爾頓火車站怎么走?從這里到機場的路線是什么
來聽今天的講解:
Beginner
A: excuse me, can you tell me the way to Holton railway station?
對不起,你能告訴我去霍爾頓火車站的路嗎?
B: sure. It’s quite far from here. Don’t worry, though. It’s not difficult to get there.
當然。離這里很遠。不過別擔心。去那里并不難。
A: I think I’m going in the wrong direction, aren’t?
我想我走錯了方向,不是嗎?
B: yes. First, you need to turn around. Do you remember passing some traffic lights further up this road?
是的。首先,你需要轉彎。你還記得在這條路上再往前經過一些紅綠燈嗎?
A: yes, I do. They are about two miles away, right?
是的,我知道。他們大約在兩英里外,對吧?
B: that’s right. Drive back to the traffic rights and turn right. Follow the road for about a mile, until you see the plaza hotel. It’s a really big hotel. You can’t miss it. Turn left at the hotel.
是的。開車回到交通路口,然后右轉。沿著這條路走大約一英里,直到你看到廣場酒店。這是一家非常大的酒店。你不會錯過的。在酒店左轉。
A: so, right at the traffic lights two miles up the road, then left at the plaza hotel, a mile along that road. Got it.
所以,在兩英里外的紅綠燈處右轉,然后在廣場酒店左轉,沿著那條路走一英里。明白了。
B: then you just go straight on until you see the station ahead of you.
然后你一直往前走,直到你看到前方的車站。
A: ok. Got it. Thanks for you help.
好的。明白了。謝謝你的幫助。
B: no problem.
沒問題。
Intermediate
A: ok, I’ve got an up-to-day map. Let’s check the route from here to the airport.
好的,我有一張最新的地圖。讓我們查一下從這里到機場的路線。
B: where are we? Oh, here we are. So we drive to the A120 and turn left.
我們在哪里?哦,我們到了。所以我們開車到A120然后左轉。
A: no, we turn right. Remember that we are coming from this direction.
不,我們向右轉。記住我們是從這個方向來的。
B: oh yes! Sorry! Then we drive to the M11 motorway.
哦,是的!對不起!然后我們驅車前往M11高速公路。
A: how far is that?
那有多遠?
B: it’s only seven miles. We turn left to join the motorway and drive south.
只有七英里。我們左轉進入高速公路向南行駛。
A: according to the map, we get off the M11 at the second junction and join the M25. that’s the motorway that goes around the edge of London.
根據地圖,我們在第二個路口下M11,然后加入M25。那是環(huán)繞倫敦邊緣的高速公路。
B: that’s another 15 miles, so that’s 22 miles total so far.
這又是15英里,所以到目前為止總共是22英里。
A: then we drive west on the M25. we must be careful to turn in the right direction!
然后我們沿著M25向西行駛。我們必須小心向右轉彎!
B: then we drive on the M25. it turns south. When we reach exit 15, we turn left and go west along the M4.
然后我們開M25。它向南轉彎。當我們到達15號出口時,我們左轉,沿著M4向西走。
A: then we take the first Heathrow Airport. What’s the total distance?
然后我們走第一個希思羅機場??偩嚯x是多少?
B: the journey around the M25 is 33 miles and then 3 extra miles to get to the airport. So how many miles is that together?
繞M25的路程是33英里,然后再多走3英里才能到達機場。那么總共有多少英里呢?
A: 22 miles to the M25, 33 miles on the M25, and 3 after that. That’s a total of 58 miles, isn’t it?
到M25有22英里,M25有33英里,之后還有3英里。總共58英里,不是嗎?
B: it shouldn’t take us very long to cover that distance. Remember that we can go quite fast on the motor way.
我們走那么遠應該不會花很長時間。記住,我們在機動車道上可以走得很快。
A: we can only go fast on the motor ways if there isn’t much traffic. I think we should allow ourselves plenty of time to get there. Being early is much better than being late.
只有在交通不多的情況下,我們才能在機動車道上快速行駛。我認為我們應該給自己充足的時間去那里。早一點總比晚一點好。
