Lesson 99
Asking for Directions
Being in an unfamiliar1 city can be frighten- ing. And finding an address can be like look- ing for a needle in a haystack.
Don't get angry. Just ask someone for directions. However, city people usually give directions very quickly. You may find it diffi- cult2 to follow what they're saying. Therefore, you'd better draw the route on a map as you're listening to the directions.
问路
置身于一个不熟知的城市里可能是件让人害怕的事,而探寻一个地址也会象是大海捞针一样。
别发火。只须去找人问路就好了。不过,城市人一般在引导方向时话说得非常快。你或许会发现要知道他们的话非常困难。因此,当你在听方向指示时,最好在地图上画上路线。
