第九課: 為客人指路
Lesson 9: Giving directions
各位聽眾朋友好。我是澳洲廣播電臺(tái)的節(jié)目支持人馬健媛。歡迎您收聽“旅游英語”。這套二十六課的英語教學(xué)節(jié)目將使您可以輕松地與講英語的客人進(jìn)行對(duì)話。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)重要話題。如果您在學(xué)習(xí)過程中一開始不太理解課文內(nèi)容的話，請(qǐng)您不必著急，因?yàn)槔蠋煏?huì)在授課過程中不斷地講解和復(fù)習(xí)這些對(duì)話的內(nèi)容。而在每?jī)烧n為一單元結(jié)束時(shí)您會(huì)聽到這一段對(duì)話的完整內(nèi)容，屆時(shí)您也許會(huì)吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己可以聽懂對(duì)話的很多內(nèi)容呢
第九課: 為客人指路
Lesson 9: Giving directions
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。現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)聽對(duì)話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)接待員利奧問路查詢方向?，F(xiàn)在讓我們開始這一課的學(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。
Page 2 of 8
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 turnright 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吧。您可以在酒店外面找到記程車。
Leo: Well then, what about a taxi? You can get one just outside thehotel.
現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)您注意聽下列有關(guān)指路的短語并跟著重復(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，穿過馬路
Leo: Cross.
到了下一個(gè)交通燈后就橫過馬路
Leo: Cross at the next set of lights.
一直向前走
Page 3 of 8
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，但是他沒有使用街道的名稱，這主要是因?yàn)閷?duì)于講英語的游客來說，讓他們看懂以另外一種語言書寫的街道名稱是不可能的事情。好，現(xiàn)在讓我們聽聽利奧是如何向客人提議叫一輛記程車的。在英語里，記程車有兩個(gè)說法，一個(gè)是taxi，另外一種說法就是cab。
Leo: Well then, what about a taxi?
在這種情況下，您可以使用how about…. 這個(gè)短語句式，也可以用更加正規(guī)的說法，那就是May I suggest….請(qǐng)聽老師的示范。
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)聽這段對(duì)話的前半部份，請(qǐng)?jiān)诶麏W的講話之后跟著重復(fù)他的話。
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.

現(xiàn)在讓我們一起來聽聽當(dāng)杰克要求對(duì)一些問題加以澄清時(shí)，我們那位一貫對(duì)客人彬彬有禮、異常耐心的利奧是如何回應(yīng)的吧。
