七年級上用英語問路

E博士給你“導航”

你會用英語問路嗎?小聰聰想利用假期去旅遊,這不正虛心向E博士(英語博士)請教“問路”的注意事項呢。一起來聽聽!

小聰聰:Hello! E博士! 如果我在國外迷路了,該如何是好?

E博士:Don’t worry!在西方國家,他們對於 “外國人”問路通常是很熱心地幫忙。不過,你得先了解問路須知:

在問路時先說聲“Excuse me.”。這樣既可以引起對方的注意,又顯得自己有禮貌;問路時,講話的速度不要過快,以便讓對方聽懂你的意思。若你沒聽懂,可以說:I beg your pardon!/ Pardon?(請再說一遍)。

問路的句式也有講究,我在這裏給你整理了一些最常見的句型:

1. “特殊疑問句”類句型

(1) Excuse me. Where is the..., please?

(2) Excuse me. Which is the way to the..., please?

(3) Excuse me. How can I get to the..., please?

2. “一般疑問句”類句型

(1) Could / Can you tell me how I can get to the...?

(2) Could / Can you tell me the way to the...?

(3) Could / Can you tell me how to get to the..., please?

(4) Could / Can you tell me which is the way to the...?

(5) Excuse me. Is this the right way to the...?

(6) Excuse me. Do you know the way to the...?

小聰聰:別人給我指明瞭路,我該如何答謝呢?

E博士:你要說:“Thanks a lot. / Thank you very much.”如果你沒有問到要去的路線,你也應有禮貌地道一聲:“Thank you all the same.”

小聰聰:I see. 說到這裏,我該謝謝您的耐心指教。

E博士:別客氣!
