A. Texts & Notes

 Girl: Where's the park?
 Policeman: The park? It's over there. On the left.

 警察：当然可以。
 姑娘：公园在哪里？
 警察：公园？就在那儿，在左边。
 姑娘：多谢。
 女子：劳驾，邮局在哪里？
 警察：邮局在那边，夫人，在右边。
 女子：谢谢你。
 男子：快来人呀！你能帮我忙吗？警察局在哪里？
 警察：在那里。瞧，一直往前。这儿走，这儿走，请吧。警察局在正前方。

 注1. where是地点疑问副词，Where's 是where is 的缩略形式，回答用 It's…的句式，it 在此代表所问的地点。
 注2. of course 当然。常作为句中的独立成份，放在句首、句中或句尾使用。
 注3. over there 中的 over 有跨越一个距离的意思，指稍远处。
 注4. on the left, on the right 用来表明有关地点所在方向：在左边、在右边。注意这里用介词 on。
 注5. Help! 是呼救用语，意思是“救命啊！”“请帮忙啊！”“快来人啊！”
 注6. This way. 带路时说“请走这边！”就可以用手一指说：This way, please.

2. Where is the nearest one?

 一青年向警察问路。
 Young man: Good morning.
 Policeman: Good morning, sir. Can I help you?
 Young man: Yes, please. Where's the nearest post offices?
 Policeman: Er - look this map. There's a post office in North Street, and there's one in West Street and one in Market Street.
 Young man: Where's the nearest one?
 policeman: Ah, yes. The nearest post office is in Market Street. It's opposite the bank and next to the Grand Hotel.

 青年：早上好。
 警察：早上好，先生，在什么事吗？
 青年：是的，请问最近的邮局在哪儿？
 警察：呃，看这张地图，北街有一个邮局，西街有一个集市街有一个。
 青年：最近的一个在哪里？
 警察：喔，对了，最近的邮局在集市街，在银行对面，紧挨着大饭店。

 注7. 形容词（如near 近）加上后缀 -er 为比较级（如 nearer 最近），加后缀-est 为最高级（如nearest 最近）。这是形容词比较级变化的一般形式。
 注8. 英语动词有及物动词（vt.）和不及物动词（vi.）之分，及物动词须有宾语，意思才完整，如：Can I take your luggage? 不及物动词本身意思完整，可以单独用，如：Come. Look.
 注9. look at 是短语动词，可以视为一个整体，作及物动词用，后跟宾语。如：Look at the map.
 注10. There's (=There is) … 是一种常用的句子结构，表示有什么（东西或人），这里的 there 没有“那里”的意思。如东西或人是复数，则说 There are …。
 注11. a 和 the 是英语的冠词，用在名词前。a 是不定冠词，泛指任何一个。the 是定冠词，特指某个。冠词一般均弱读：a /ə/; the /ðə/。
 注12. 英语中再次提到的同一事物时，如果这个事物是可数的，常用 one 作为代词，避免重复。如课文中的 one 变是代替 post office。
 注13. North Street; West Street; Market Street等街名前均不用冠词。

3. It's this way.

 夫妇两人在街上查地图找路……
 Husband: It's this way.
 Wife: No, it isn't. It's this way. It's on the left. Look at the map! Look!
 Husband: It's this way. It's straight ahead.
 Wife: Excuse me. Can you help me? Where's the Grand Hotel, please?
 Man: The Grand Hotel? I'm sorry, I don't know.
 Husband: Excuse me. Where's the Grand Hotel, please?
 Woman: Oh, it's near here. It's in North Street. No, it isn't in North Street. I think it's in Market Street.
 Wife: Thank you very much.
 policeman: Can I help you?
 Husband: Yes. Where's the Grand Hotel?
 Policeman: Oh, it's near here. It's in Market Street.

 丈夫：打这儿走。
 妻子：不，不走这儿。打这儿坪。（它）在左边，看地图么！瞧！
 丈夫：打这儿走，一直走。
 妻子：劳驾，帮我个忙。请问大饭店在哪儿？
 男子：大饭店？对不起，我不知道。
 丈夫：劳驾，大饭店在哪里？
 妇女：喔，就在附近。在北街。不对，不在北街。我想是在集市街。
 妻子：很感谢你。
 警察：要我帮忙吗？
 丈夫：是的。大饭店在哪里？
 警察：哦，它就在附近，在集市街。

 注14. It's near here. （它）就在附近。near 在句中是介词。
 注15. I don't know. 我不知道。don't=do not
 注16. I think it's in Market Street. 我想它在集市街。 I think … 表示谈话人对此事不太肯定。
