第九課: 為客人指路
Lesson 9: Giving directions
各位聽(tīng)眾朋友好。我是澳洲廣播電臺(tái)的節(jié)目支持人馬健媛。歡迎您收聽(tīng)“旅游英語(yǔ)”。這套二十六課的英語(yǔ)教學(xué)節(jié)目將使您可以輕松地與講英語(yǔ)的客人進(jìn)行對(duì)話(huà)。這套教材的課程設(shè)置是這樣的,每一課涵蓋服務(wù)業(yè)中的一個(gè)重要話(huà)題。如果您在學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中一開(kāi)始不太理解課文內(nèi)容的話(huà),請(qǐng)您不必著急,因?yàn)槔蠋煏?huì)在授課過(guò)程中不斷地講解和復(fù)習(xí)這些對(duì)話(huà)的內(nèi)容。而在每?jī)烧n為一單元結(jié)束時(shí)您會(huì)聽(tīng)到這一段對(duì)話(huà)的完整內(nèi)容,屆時(shí)您也許會(huì)吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己可以聽(tīng)懂對(duì)話(huà)的很多內(nèi)容呢
在第九課里,您將學(xué)習(xí)如何為人指路,您也將學(xué)習(xí)如何提建議,以及當(dāng)他人要求對(duì)問(wèn)題加以澄清時(shí),如何回應(yīng)。另外您將練習(xí)估計(jì)時(shí)間?,F(xiàn)在請(qǐng)聽(tīng)對(duì)話(huà)的第一部分與中文翻譯。酒店客人蒙納與她的父親杰克打算去購(gòu)物,他們向酒店前臺(tái)接待員利奧問(wèn)路查詢(xún)方向。
現(xiàn)在讓我們開(kāi)始這一課的學(xué)習(xí)。
利奧: 早上好,懷特女士和偉博先生
Leo: Good morning, Ms White, Mr Webber.
杰克: 早上好,利奧
Jack: Good morning, Leo.
蒙納: 你好,利奧。這附記有什么大的購(gòu)物中心嗎?
Mona: Hi, Leo. Is there a major shopping centre nearby?
利奧: 星光購(gòu)物中心里面有一百多家店鋪,我相信您一定可以在那里找到您想要的東西。
Leo: The Starlight Shopping Centre has over a hundred shops. I’m sure you’ll find what you want there.
蒙納: 去那里的路怎么走?
Mona: How do we get there?
利奧: 出了酒店先向右拐,到了交通燈再向左拐,然后沿著路一直向前走,再到了一個(gè)交通燈后就過(guò)馬路,看到一個(gè)粉色的塔再向右拐。
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. …
蒙納: 天哪,這可真是難記住啊。
Mona: Oh dear, that’s too hard to remember.
利奧: 那么就叫一輛記程車(chē)吧。您可以在酒店外面找到記程車(chē)。
Leo: Well then, what about a taxi? You can get one just outside the hotel.
現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)您注意聽(tīng)下列有關(guān)指路的短語(yǔ)并跟著重復(fù)
向右轉(zhuǎn)
Leo: Turn right.
出酒店向右轉(zhuǎn)
Leo: Turn right outside the hotel.
向左轉(zhuǎn)
Leo: Turn left.
到了交通燈向左轉(zhuǎn)
Leo: Turn left at the traffic lights.
橫過(guò),穿過(guò)馬路
Leo: Cross.
到了下一個(gè)交通燈后就橫過(guò)馬路
Leo: Cross at the next set of lights.
一直向前走
Leo: Walk straight.
沿著路一直向前走
Leo: Walk straight up the street.
您注意到了嗎?利奧在為客人指路時(shí)提到了很多地標(biāo),例如交通燈和粉色的塔等等,但是他沒(méi)有使用街道的名稱(chēng),這主要是因?yàn)閷?duì)于講英語(yǔ)的游客來(lái)說(shuō),讓他們看懂以另外一種語(yǔ)言書(shū)寫(xiě)的街道名稱(chēng)是不可能的事情。好,現(xiàn)在讓我們聽(tīng)聽(tīng)利奧是如何向客人提議叫一輛記程車(chē)的。在英語(yǔ)里,記程車(chē)有兩個(gè)說(shuō)法,一個(gè)是 taxi,另外一種說(shuō)法就是 cab。
Leo: Well then, what about a taxi?
在這種情況下,您可以使用 how about…. 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)句式,也可以用更加正規(guī)的說(shuō)法,那就是 May I suggest….請(qǐng)聽(tīng)老師的示范。
What about?
What about a taxi?
How about?
How about a taxi?
May I suggest?
May I suggest a cab?
現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)聽(tīng)這段對(duì)話(huà)的前半部份,請(qǐng)?jiān)诶麏W的講話(huà)之后跟著重復(fù)他的話(huà)。
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.
