Foreigner: Excuse me, I'm lost. Can you show me where I am in this map?

(He holds a map in his hand.)

May: Er, let me see. Oh, look, you're right here. Pretty close to the Olympic Park.

Foreigner: That's great! It's not my day. I just have very bad sense of direction.

May: Is this your first time here? Where are you going?

Foreigner: I am supposed to go to Liu lichang.

May: Oh, there are many Chinese antique stores. They get paintings, too. Do you get interested in them?

Foreigner: Yes. Yes. Can you tell me how to get there?

May: Wow, it is quite far away from here. I'm afraid you're gonna have to take Bus No.713.

Foreigner: Where is the nearest bus-s?

May: Go straight ahead and turn right on the second intersection. You can't miss it.

Foreigner: Thanks a lot.

May: You are welcome.

外国人：你好，我迷路了。你能告诉我我现在处于地图上的哪个位置吗？

（他手里拿着一张地图。）

阿美：呃，让我看看。哦，看，你就在这里。离奥运公园很近。

外国人：真是糟糕！今天真不顺。我的方向感的确很差。

阿美：这是你第一次到这里吧？你想去哪里？

外国人：我想去琉璃厂。

阿美：哦，那里有很多中国古董店，也有中国画。你对那些感兴趣吗？

外国人：是的，是的。你能告诉我怎么去那里吗？

阿美：哇，那离这里很远呢。恐怕你得乘公交713路才能到。

外国人：最近的公共汽车站在哪？

阿美：直走，在第二个路口处右转。你不会错过的。

外国人：非常感谢。

阿美：不客气。

Foreigner: Hi, I am a foreigner. I've always had a bad sense of direction especially when I travel in a foreign country. One time I planned to go to Liu Lichang where there are many Chinese antique stores. But I got lost and just went to some other place in the middle of nowhere instead. Luckily, with a girl's help I got to the right place later. What a wonderful girl!

lost adj. 迷失的

close to 离……很近

sense n. 感觉

suppose to 想做

antique n. 古董

get interested in 对......感兴趣

far away from 离……很远

straight adj. 直的 adv. 一直，笔直地

intersection n. 十字路口

That's great! 这是句反语。表面上看是说“太好了”，实际则是在表达对今天坏运气的一种抱怨和不满。

It's not my day. 这句话直译为“这不是我的日子”，言下之意今天诸事不顺，一连串的坏事情发生在自己身上，喝口凉水都塞牙，真是郁闷的一天。

gonna 等同于going to
