指路常用到的英语(2)

英语

I was about to cross the street when a car came round the corner. 我正要过马路，这时拐角处开来一辆汽车。

2).街道的名称可使用avenue, street和boulevard。avenue指的是宽阔的林荫大道，尤其指美国城市里纵向的街道，与其交叉的横道称为street。boulevard也是林荫大道。

4. Then walk two blocks straight ahead until you come to Cherry Avenue. (T) 然后一直向前走过两个街区，直到切里街。

5. There's a bus stop across the street on the corner of Cherry and Bellflower. (T) 在街对面，切里街和贝尔弗劳尔大道的转角上有一个公共汽车站。

本句中across the street意思相当于on the other side of the street。

6. Take a number 10 bus going down Cherry. (T) 乘沿切里街行驶的10路公共汽车。

1).乘公共汽车, 火车, 电梯等都可以用动词take，如本课后面的例子：

Take the elevator to the second floor.

My brother is going to take a ship for Wuhan.

2).分词短语going down Cherry是修饰bus的定语。down在这里是介词，表示“沿着”，常和along替换使用。请看本课另一句：Then turn to the right and walk one block along Second to the corner of Orange Avenue. 然后向左拐，沿着第二街走，穿过一条马路，到奥兰治街的街角。

这句中的along也可改用down。又如：

The boat went down / along the river. 小船顺河而下。

7. If you follow these directions, you won't have any trouble. (T) 如果你按照上述指引做的话，到保罗的寓所去是没有什么困难的。

示例:

(1)

A : Excuse me. Could you tell me the way to get to the post office from here?

B : Sure. Walk along Second Avenue and you can see it on the right. It's between the shoe store and the shopping mall.

A : Thank you very much.

B : It's my pleasure.
