情景对话15：问路

(15).Asking for Directions 问路

            People are usually helpful when you ask for directions. You should
            try to have the exact address and be as specific as possible.
            Telephone directories are the most common sourse of addresses.
            Remember that many cities and some towns are built in "blocks".
            People will often tell you, for example, to "go two blocks and turn
            right."

            1.A:Excuse me, Can you tell me where Main Street is?
            B:Turn left at the second light and then go straight for two blocks.
            A:Is it far?
            B:No. It's only a five-minute walk.
            A:Thanks a lot.
            B:You're welcome.

            2.A:Excuse me. Could you please tell me how to get to the station?
            B:Turn left at the first light. You can't miss it.
            A:Will it take me long to get there?
            B:No. It's not far at all.
            A:Thank you.
            B:Don't mention it.

            3.A:Can you help me out? I'm trying to find a post office.
            B:Go three block and make a right. It's right there.
            A:Should I take the bus?
            B:No. It'll only take about five minutes to walk.
            A:Thank you very much.
            B:Any time.

            4.A:Pardon me. I wonder if you could tell me how to get to Mott
            Street?
            B:Keep going straight for two blocks, then turn right o Elm Street
            and you'll run right into
            it.
            A:Is it too far to walk?
            B:Nl. It's only a little ways.
            A:Thanks.
