用英语问路的技巧

用英语问路的技巧 话题:路口 句式 教育学习 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，有以下几个方面的技巧值得同学们注意:一、态度方面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 www.nmet168.com)。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?Excuse me, would you please show me the way to the post office? 请告诉我去邮局怎么走好吗?Excuse me, would you mind telling me the way to the police station?对不起，请告诉我 去警察局怎么走好吗?Excuse me, could you give me some directions? 请你给我指指路好吗?Excuse me, can you direct me to the post office? 请问到邮局怎么走?Excuse me, where’s the men’s (ladies’), please? 请问男(女)厕所在哪?Excuse me, where’s the bus station, please? 请问公共汽车站在什么地 方?Excuse me, how can I get to No. 1 Middle School? 请问去 一中怎么走?Excuse me, is this the right way to the People’s Park? 请问去人民公园走这条路对吗?Is this the only way to get there? 去那儿只有这一条路吗?Which is the best way to get there? 去那儿走哪条路最好呢?2. 问路的固定句式举例 Go down this street, and turn to the left at the first crossing. 沿 着这条街走，在第一个十字路口向左拐。Go straight on, then turn right at the second crossing. 一直走，在第二个十字路口 向右拐。Go down the road and you’ll come to a bus stop. 沿 着这条路走，你会走到一个公共汽车站。Go straight ahead about 300 meters. 往前一直走 300米。Go straight ahead until you come to a tall building, then turn left. 一直往前走，一直走 到一座高楼，然后向左拐。Go this way about 5 minutes.
