出國時人生地不熟的,除了靠google map以外,其實可以只要學會簡單的對話,就可以輕鬆問人、搭乘交通工具到達目的地囉!
你可以這麼問:
[問路]
▶“Could you tell me where I am now?”
可以告訴我這是哪裡嗎?
▶“Excuse me. How do I get to the railway station, please?”
想請問如何到火車站?
▶“Excuse me. Where’s the nearest restaurant, please?”
想請問最近的餐廳在哪裡?
▶“Excuse me. I’m looking for the Number 8 bus stop.”
想請問八號車站牌在哪裡?
▶“It’s easier if I can show you on the map…”
你可以在地圖上指給我看嗎?
▶How long does it take to go to ____?
到__需要多長時間?
▶Would it be better for me to take a taxi/bus?
搭計程車/公車會比較好嗎?
你可能會聽到:
“It’s about five minutes from here.” 從這裡的話大約需要五分鐘。
“It’s about a ten-minute walk.” 大約需要走十分鐘的路。
將這幾句對話學起來,你也可以一個人背著包包去旅行喔。
