那么今天我們就一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)在美國(guó)問(wèn)路的一些方式及常用句型。
1.
A:Excuse me.Where is the Park, please?
B:Turn left at the second light and then go straight for two blocks.
A:Thank you.
B:That's ok.
首先要注意的是“Excuse me.”這個(gè)習(xí)慣用法，在用英語(yǔ)交際時(shí)，應(yīng)注重禮貌。Excuse me.是很常見的一句禮貌用語(yǔ)，意思是“勞駕或者請(qǐng)問(wèn)”，常用于向陌生人詢問(wèn)，請(qǐng)人讓路，要求插話時(shí)為了引起別人注意的一句話。That’s OK.意為不用謝,與You are welcome.意思相似。
實(shí)際生活中，要用英語(yǔ)問(wèn)路時(shí)，首先問(wèn)路的人最好停下來(lái)或者是緩步的走近你要詢問(wèn)的人，表情不要太緊張，一定不要急急忙忙的走向別人，否則別人會(huì)懷疑你的動(dòng)機(jī)。需要注意的是，問(wèn)話的時(shí)候應(yīng)該與對(duì)方保持一定的距離，尤其是當(dāng)被詢問(wèn)的對(duì)象是一位女性時(shí)，要特別注重這一點(diǎn)，否則會(huì)使對(duì)方會(huì)覺得不自在，甚至?xí)械侥悴欢Y貌。
對(duì)話中Where is the Park, please?請(qǐng)問(wèn)，公園在哪里?這是問(wèn)路時(shí)的一種表達(dá)方式，其他方式還有：Howcan I get to the Zhongshan Park, please?請(qǐng)問(wèn)，去中山公園怎么走?其中的How can I get to…?意為“去…怎么走?”需要注意的是，指路時(shí)，可以說(shuō)“Turn right.”(向右轉(zhuǎn))，“Turn left.”(向左轉(zhuǎn))。“Turnback.”向后轉(zhuǎn))和“Go straight on.”(筆直走)。
2.
A.Can you help me out?I'm trying to find a post office.
B.You will stay on the street for a while until you hit the first traffic light.
A.Is it far?
B.No,when you see a hospital on your left,then take a left,you will see the post office is overthere.
A:Thanks a lot.
首先Stay for a while通常指五到十分鐘的時(shí)間，不會(huì)太久。遇見某樣?xùn)|西，可以用hit這個(gè)字，如hit thetraffic light, hit the stop sign等等。而traffic light也有人說(shuō)成light,或stoplight。
如果要去的地方很偏僻或者知道得不很具體，那最好先問(wèn)清楚那個(gè)地址附近的有標(biāo)志性的建筑物或者有名的街道，到達(dá)之后再細(xì)問(wèn)具體的地址。
