向陌生人問路可能會使人感到緊張。你不確定他們是否會理解你。而且在大街上行走時,幾乎每個人都低頭看著手機(jī)或者是帶著耳機(jī)。不要著急,在這里我們會給大家提供一些短語,這些短語會吸引別人的注意力并且豐富你的外出旅行詞匯。正是這些禮貌地表達(dá)會幫你開始一段對話。
Polite Expressions and Useful Phrases
禮貌的表達(dá)以及有用的短語
1.Excuse me
打擾一下
這個短語使用頻繁。在大街上或者是在商店里你總是能夠聽到它。在請求別人做某事之前人們會說“打擾一下”(例如,在為你指去電影院的路時?。?/p>
Excuse me? Where is the nearest souvenir shop?
打擾一下,請問最近的紀(jì)念品商店在哪?
2.Sorry to bother you…
很抱歉,打擾你一下…
It’s another way to let a stranger know that you’re asking something from them and you appreciate their help.
這是讓陌生人知道你在問他們路的另一種方式,并且你很珍惜他們的幫助。
Sorry to bother you, but would you mind showing me the way to post office?
很抱歉打擾你一下,你介意告訴我去郵局的路嗎?
3.May I ask…?
我可以問一下…?
You can use this expression to start a question in a courteous manner. Remember that you don’t have to reverse the word order when you continue with the “where…” part. In grammar rules, it’s the issue of embedded questions or indirect questions.
你可以使用這種表達(dá)以一種禮貌的方式問問題。要記得當(dāng)你使用where…的問句繼續(xù)對話時,你不必顛倒單詞的順序。在語法中,這是嵌套疑問句和間接疑問句的問題。
May I ask where the Marriott hotel is?
我可以問一下馬里奧特旅館在哪嗎?
4.Could you please…?
你可以…?
You follow this expression with a verb such as “show,” “point,” “help” etc.
在這個表達(dá)后面你可以使用動詞“show,” “point,” “help”等等。

你能給我指一下主廣場的方向嗎?
5.I am (I’m) lost.

7.This is my first time in the city.
