25. Asking Directions 问路

A: Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get downtown?

B: Yes, of course. Areyou familiar with the streets here?

A: NO, I'm from out of town.

B: Well, let me see. What would be the quickest way? I'll tell you. Go to the end of This block, turn right, and walk six blocks. Then turn left for three blocks. There's a Big intersection there. You can't miss it. The main business section is three or four blocks south of the intersection.

A: Thanks a lot. Oh, one more thing. Are there any buses running this time of night?

B: No. They stop at eleven p.m.

Notes

From out of town 从外地来

Block 两条横马路之间的街区，walk six blocks意即走过六条马路

Intersection 几条街道的交叉点

A：对不起。您可以告诉我到市中心商业区如何走吗？

B：当然可以。您熟悉这里的街道吗？

A：不，我是从外地来的。

B：哦，让我想一想，哪一条是最近的路？我告诉您。顺这条街走到下一条横马路时向右转，再过六条马路，然后向左转再过三条马路，那儿有一个很大的交叉路口，你不会错过的，从交叉路口向南过三条或四条马路就是主要的商业区。

A：多谢。哦，还有一件事。在晚上这个时候这儿还有没有公共汽车行驶？

B：没有，晚上十一点就停止了。
