地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客:Parts of a City

Tanya: We’ve been here for three days and I’m still getting lost.
Darren: Here’s a map. These are the residential neighborhoods . See? This is where we’re staying.
Tanya: I know, I know. But where were we today? The tour bus went down so many alleys that I lost my bearings after 10 minutes. I thought we were going in circles .
Darren: Look, we drove through downtown first, past the financial district . Next, we drove past the housing projects to the historic district .
Tanya: I remember all that.
Darren: Okay, then. From the historic district, we drove through uptown . Got that?
Tanya: Yeah, that’s where things get a little hazy . How did we get to the outskirts of town? One minute we were in uptown, and the next minute, we were at the city limits .
Darren: We took one of the back roads along here. See? Now do you understand the lay of the land ?
Tanya: Yup, definitely. Ask me anything. I know this city like the back of my hand .
Darren: No, thanks. That’s like the blind leading the blind !
