第十课: 为人指路
Lesson 10: Giving Directions (continued)
Leo: Good morning, Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Good morning, Leo.
Mona: Hi Leo. Is there a major shopping centre nearby?
Leo: The Starlight Shopping Centre has over a hundred shops. I’m
sure you’ll find what you want there.
Mona: And how do we get there?
Leo: Well, turn right outside the hotel, and left at the traffic lights. Go
straight up the street, cross at the next set of lights and turn right
at the pink tower…
Mona: Oh dear, that’s too hard to remember.
Leo: Well then, what about a taxi? You can get one just outside the
hotel.
Jack: I don’t mind walking, Mona… We turn right outside the hotel,
Leo?
Leo: Yes, that’s right. Then left at the traffic lights.
Jack: Turn left?
Leo: That’s right. Then walk straight up the street (and …)
Mona: How long does it take to walk there?
Leo: It takes about 10 minutes.
Mona: Then let’s get a cab, Dad. Thanks anyway, Leo.
Leo: My pleasure.

好，我们继续学习第十课“为人指路”，请听录音及中文翻译
乔: 请问去哪里？
Joe: Where to?
蒙纳: 你讲英语吗？
Mona: Do you speak English?
乔: 我只讲一点点。
Joe: Just a little.
蒙纳: 请去星光购物中心，它在交通灯的左边。
Mona: Starlight Shopping Centre please. It’s left at the traffic lights.
乔: 不用担心，我认识路的。你们是哪个国家来的？
Joe: Don’t worry, I know the way. Where do you come from?
杰克: 澳大利亚。
Jack: Australia.
乔: 噢。。。你们在本地停留多久呢？
Joe: Aaah! How long are you here for?
杰克: 三个星期。
Jack: Three weeks.
乔: 三个星期都留在城里吗？
Joe: Three weeks in the city?
杰克: 不，我们星期六就去北方。
Jack: No, we’re going north on Saturday.
请注意听约瑟夫是如何询问他的乘客要去什么地方的
Joe: Where to?
Where to? 请问去哪里？这是一种在英语里已经被广泛接受了的短
句形式，完整的句型应该是Where are you going to? Where to?
Page 3 of 8
Where to?
当我们想要问对方来自什么地方或者国家时，我们可以使用乔说的
下面这个句型。他是这样说的:
你们是哪个国家来的？
Joe: Where do you come from?
这个句型的简略说法是: Where are you from?
Where do you come from?
Where do you come from?
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
对话过程中，记程车司机乔希望了解他的乘客要在本地停留多久？
乔: 你们在本地停留多久呢？
Joe: How long are you here for?
杰克: 三个星期。
Jack: Three weeks.
同样的问题，乔还可以这样提问: How long are you staying?
你们在本地停留多久呢？
How long are you here for?
How long are you here for?
How long are you staying?
How long are you staying?
Joe: Where to?
Mona: Do you speak English?
Joe: Just a little.
Mona: Starlight Shopping Centre, please. It’s left at the traffic lights.
Joe: Don’t worry,…

您注意到了吗？杰克在即将下车时询问了记程车司机的姓名，也许
您会感到有些奇怪，他们之间也许以后再也不会见面了，杰克为什
么要打听司机的名字呢？在西方的文化中，有些人喜欢称呼他人的
名字，而不是只简单地用“you”“你”这个字，或者他人的职务
名称来称呼他人。杰克: 很高兴认识您，乔。
Jack: Nice to meet you, Joe.
乔: 我也很高兴认识您。
Joe: Nice to meet you, too.
请注意听并跟着重复下列句子。
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
另外，请注意记程车司机乔是如何向乘客收取车资的。
乔: 一共是六块五。
Joe: That’ll be $6.50.
