第九课: 为客人指路
Lesson 9: Giving directions
请再听一遍这段对话
Leo: Good morning, Ms White, Mr Webber.
Jack: Good morning, Leo.
Mona: Hi, Leo. Is there a shopping centre nearby?
Leo: The Starlight Shopping Centre has over a hundred shops.
Leo: I’m sure you’ll find what you want there.
Mona: And how do we get there?
Leo: Well, turn right outside the hotel,
Leo: …and left at the traffic lights.
Leo: Go straight up the street,
Leo: …cross at the next set of lights
Leo: …and turn right at the pink tower…
Mona: Oh dear, that’s too hard to remember.
Leo: Well then, what about a taxi?
Leo: You can get one just outside the hotel.
请注意听这段对话的后半部份及其中文翻译
杰克: 我倒是不在意走路过去，蒙纳。。。出了酒店向右拐对
吗，利奥？
Jack: I don’t mind walking, Mona… We turn right outside the hotel,
Leo?
利奥: 没错，到了交通灯再向左拐
Leo: Yes, that’s right. Then left at the traffic lights.
杰克: 向左拐吗？
Jack: Turn left?
利奥: 对了，然后沿着路一直向前走
Leo: That’s right. Then walk straight up the street (and …)
蒙纳: 走到那里要多少时间
Mona: How long does it take to walk there?
利奥: 大约需要十分钟
Leo: It takes about 10 minutes.

蒙纳: 爸爸，我看我们还是叫一辆记程车吧。谢谢你了，利
奥。
Mona: Then let’s get a cab, Dad. Thanks anyway, Leo.
利奥: 不客气。
Leo: My pleasure.
现在让我们一起来听听当杰克要求对一些问题加以澄清时，我们那
位一贯对客人彬彬有礼、异常耐心的利奥是如何回应的吧。
We turn right outside the hotel, Leo?
Leo: Yes, that’s right.
Jack: Turn left?
Leo: That’s right.
请注意听并跟着重复
That’s right.
That’s right.
Yes, that’s right.
Yes, that’s right.
你注意到了吗？right 这个英文字实际上在中文里有两个不同的意
思。它可以是左右的“右”，比如说向右转，turn right, 也可以
表示对错的“对”, 比如说that’s right.
接下来请注意听利奥是如何表达走路到购物中心需要多少时间的
大约需要十分钟
Leo: It takes about 10 minutes.
请注意听并跟着重复下列句子
大约需要十分钟
It takes about 10 minutes.
需要一个小时
It takes an hour.
需要四十分钟
