在口語交際裡用到最多的可能就是指路和問路了吧,下面我們就來學一些地道的問路的英語表達。
A:Excuse me Ms,I'm afraid I'm lost. Could you tell me the way to I'm afraid I'm lost=在此語境裡是表示我迷路了 I'm afraid I'm lost 在兩人交談的時候還表示:我不明白,我沒有聽懂。同義替換句子可以是:①I'm lost by you ②I can't catch you ③I can't get you
the nearest subway station?在不同國家大家對地鐵的常用詞也有所區別,所以我們也需要知道地鐵站的一些同義詞組。①tube station ②underground station
B: Sorry, I;m just passing through. But hold on, I believe my friend
passing through表示我只是路過(我只是打醬油的)
同義詞組①passing by ② a passer-by
here might be of some help.
be of some help=be helpful
be of 這個句式比較地道,後加名詞後詞組可以代替形容詞
例如:①be of great importance=be improtant ②be of big significance=be significant
C: Well, I'm afraid you are going the wrong way. Go back the way you came from and walk about 200 yards until you come to a
tall white building. Turn right at the building, walk for two blocks,
在某處轉彎的表達:turn right (left) at …
then you'll find a big bookstore on your right. The subway station is just next to the bookstore.A: Could you draw me a map,please?記住這個表達,問路解釋不清的時候可以請求別人幫忙畫一張地圖
A: Where am I on this map? Oh here, I got it. Thank you very much. By the way, how far is it?C: About 10 minutes walk. Don't worry, you won't miss it because you'll notice/see/find all the people there.別人致謝的另一種口語回應方式,別光就知道you're welcome 了
