地道美語聽力播客:Asking for Directions
I went to Vancouver for a meeting this week. I have always liked Vancouver, and on top of that, my cousin Dominick just moved there. I got in touch with him and he invited me over to see his new place .
On the way over, though, I got a little lost . I knew I was in the right area, but I was turned around . He lived in an apartment over an old bakery and I couldn't find it.
I stopped a man who was walking by to ask for directions.
Lucy: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the Cross Bakery building?
Man: The Cross Bakery building? Oh sure. You're actually walking in the opposite direction .
Lucy: Oh, you're kidding ! I thought I was heading east.
Man: No, east is the other direction . To get to the Bakery, you need to turn around and go three blocks to Broadway. When you get to the intersection of Broadway and Elm, you hang a left. Go straight down that street for half a block and then you'll see the building on your left.
Lucy: Okay, let me see if I've got that. I need to go down Elm until I hit Broadway, then I make a left and the building is on my left hand side . Is that right?
Man: Yeah, you've got it . Do you want me to show you the way?
Lucy: Thanks for the offer, but I think I've got it. Hopefully, I won't get lost again on my way there!
