标题:美语三级跳 Go English:022B 出行: 中级课程 听力内容: Craig刚搬来纽约,第一天到新公司上班,却迷路了,只好向别人问路。 Professor: That's right, Winnie. In this first part, Craig stops to ask a policeman for help. Craig: Excuse me, I'm looking for number 250 on East 97th Street. Can you tell me how to get there? Policeman: Ninety-seventh street? Wow, that's pretty far away. I hope you're not in a hurry. Craig: Actually, I'm late for my first day of work. What's the fastest way to get there? Policeman: Do you have a car or are you taking public transportation? Craig: I'm on foot. 第一天上班就可能迟到,Craig肯定急死了,可警察告诉他,到公司还有很远的路呢! Professor: That's why the policeman hoped Craig was not "in a hurry". If you're late for something, you can also say that you're "in a rush". It means the same thing. 哦,in a hurry和in a rush都是“来不及”、“赶着做什么事”的意思。Professor, “public transportation”是指公车、地铁这样的公交系统么? Professor: That's right. 可是Craig既没有开车、也不坐公车、地铁,而是on foot - 走着去。我真担心他会迟到! Policeman: Well if you're walking, the fastest way to get there is to go through Central Park. |
