第二篇：用英语问路[1]

用英语问路

无论你怎么问，最好的开场白就是这样的短语"Excuse me" 或者说"Could you help me?"。这样你问到的那个人将会对你的礼貌非常满意并常常会为你提供更多的帮助！

"Could you tell me how to get to _____?" 是问去具体某个地方，象博物馆，酒店，或街道，的标准句型。

如果你不是问一个具体的地方，但需要找到附近的银行，地铁站，厕所，等等的地方，那么最好的方式就是用这样的短语"Where is the closest_____?"

人们解释事物所在地最常用的一种方式就是使用术语'blocks'。 block 是在两个十字路口之间的一段街区。因此'the next block'意味着下个路口之后的那段街区，而three blocks ahead意味着在同一条街道上但过接下来的三个路口。

另一种表示距离有多远的方式即是使用象这样的短语'the third right'或'the next left'。因此如果有人说"Take the third street on the left"意思是你应该走过两个路口然后在第三个路口左转。

叫别人左转或右转的不同方式有好几种。'Take a left'， 'go left'， 'turn left' 和 'make a left' 都代表同样的意思：左转。 "Go around the corner"意思是在下个街道转身但不跨越。

用建筑或标志物的指向。"It's just past the bank"意思是如果你走过银行，你要找的地方就在接下来的几幢建筑物中。'Opposite'，'across from'，和facing 都代表同一个意思－在同一条街道上，但在另一边。

Finding your way around in English

Whatever you're asking, it's always best to open with a phrase like "Excuse me" or "Could you help me?". The person you're asking will appreciate the courtesy and often be more helpful!

"Could you tell me how to get to _____?" is the standard way to ask how to get to a specific place, like a museum, hotel, or street.

If you're not looking for a specific place, but just need to find a nearby bank, subway stop, bathroom, and so on, then it's best to use a phrase like "Where is the closest_____?"

One of the most common ways people explain where things are is using the term 'blocks'. A block is the section of street between two

intersections. So 'the next block' means the section of street after the next intersection, while three blocks ahead means to stay on the same street and keep going past the next three intersections.

Another way of saying how far to go is to use phrases like 'the third right' or 'the next left'. So if someone says "Take the third street on the left" it means you should walk past two intersections and then turn left at the third one.

There are several different ways to tell someone to make a right or left turn. 'Take a left', 'go left', 'turn left' and 'make a left' all mean the same thing: turn left. "Go around the corner" means turn at the next street without crossing it.

Other directions refer to other buildings or landmarks. "It's just past the bank" means if you go past the bank, the place you're looking for will be one of the next few buildings. 'Opposite', 'across from', and facing all mean the same thing - on the same street, but on the other side.

用英语问路的技巧

有以下几个方面的技巧值得同学们注意：

一、态度方面 问路几乎是所有人都会遇到的事，那么在英美国家问路时应注意些什么呢?归纳起来，

1. 首先要有礼貌，最好停下来等候或缓步走向你想问路的人，表情不要太紧张，不要急步向他人走去，否则对方会怀疑你的动机。

2.千万不要伸手搭对方的肩或手臂，因为这是不礼貌的行为。

3. 问路时要注意同对方保持一定的距离，尤其是问一位女士时，尽量不要使用手势。西方人的空间意识较强，陌生人离他们太近会使他们觉得很不自在，甚至觉得是一种威胁。

二、用词方面

1. 问路时应首先说一声：“Excuse me.”这样可以引起对方的注意，又不失礼貌。 2. 当你没听清时，你可以说一声“Excuse me, would you please say it again?”(对不起，请您再说一遍好吗?)或“I beg your pardon?”(对不起，请再说一遍好吗?)等，礼貌地要求对方重复一遍。

3. 问完路后，千万不要忘记向对方说句“Thank you for helping me.” 或“Thank you.” 4. 问路时经常会用到“向左(右)拐”这样的表达，英语对此有两种常见的说法，即turn left (right)或 turn to the left (right)。表示 “在左(右)边”，英语用介词on或 at均可。

5. 别人为你指完路后，有时还会最后说上一些句子，一方面是表示他的引路信息介绍完毕，另一方面也是为了表明他的指路信息是可靠的。这类句子通常有：

You can’t miss it.你不会找不到的(from )。

You are sure to get there.你一定会到达那儿的。

You can’t go wrong.你不会走错的。

三、背景方面

按照我国的交通规则是“行人靠右”，而在英国你会看到这样的交通标牌：Keep to the left.靠左边走。要注意两者的区别。

四、句式方面

1. 问路的固定句式举例

Excuse me, can you tell me where the railway station is?对不起，请问火车站在哪儿? Excuse me, but can you tell me the way to the train station?劳驾，请问去火车站怎么走? Excuse me, could you tell me which is the way to the nearest hospital?请问去最近的医院怎么走?

用英语问路，为其他人指路

平时我们在陌生地方旅游时可能需要跟人家问个路，探个方向，那么这时有哪些实用的英语短语呢？又或是我们在城市里边如果碰到有其他国家的游客向我们用英语问路时我们又该如何来为他们指点迷津呢？今天我们就一起来看一下吧。

1。跟别人问路（asking for directions）、询问方向时常会用到的英语短语：

-Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to...?

请问，你能否告诉我怎么去。。。？

-Excuse me, do you know where the... is?

请问，你知道这个地方怎么去吗。。。？

-Hi, what's the best way to/how do I get to...?

你好，请问有个地方怎么去最方便/我该如何去这地方？

-I'm looking for/I need directions to... this address.

我正在找这地址/我需要有人指点方向，怎么去这地址。

-Are we on the right road for...?

我们要去。。。走这条路对吗？

-Is this the right way for...?

去这地方朝这方向对吗？

-Can you show me on the map?

你能不能在地图上帮我把这地方指出来？

2。那么反过来，我们通常用来回答别人问路（tell or advise someone about the directions they're taking）的英语短语：

-It's this way, two blocks down.

朝这个方向，下去两段马路。

-It's that way, past two traffic lights and on your left.

朝那方向，过去两个红绿灯，然后在你左手边上。

-You're going the wrong way.

你走错路了。

-You're going in the wrong direction.

你走错方向了。

-You've come the wrong way.

你走错了。

如果需要说得较具体点的，比如在哪里拐弯，大概有多远，那么一般会有以下几种表达：

-Take this road, go down there, then take the first road on the left; then take the second road on the right and you'll come to an intersection then turn right.

顺着这条路走，往那方向下去，然后遇到第一条横马路是左转；再到第二条横马路时右转，接着你会来到一个十字路口，在这里右转。

-Continue straight ahead for about a mile (one mile is approximately 1.6 kilometers). 再直行大概1英里（约1.6 公里）。

-Continue past the fire station. 在看到消防屋之后再往前行。

-You'll pass a supermarket on your left. 你会在左边看到有个大型超市。

-Keep going for another... 再往前行大概

hundred yards (about 91 meters) 100码（约91米）

two hundred meters 200米

half mile (about 800 meters) 半英里（约800米）

kilometer 公里

-It'll be... 它会在。。。

on your left 你的左手边

on your right 你的右手边

straight ahead of you. 你的直接对面。

3。如果我们步行或是已经到了目的地附近，但就是不知道还有多远距离，那么还可以问一下对方：

How far is it? 有多远？

How far is it from here? 离这儿还有多远？

Is it far? 远吗？

Is it a long way on foot? 走路过去远吗？

对方可能会这么回答你：

It's...not far 不远

quite close 挺近的

quite a long way 挺远的

a long way on foot 走路还挺远的 a long way to walk 走路还满远的

about three blocks down 大约三段路吧。
