Ann: Hey, excuse me, I'm sorry to bug you. I'm trying to go to the Royal Hotel. Do you know where that is?
安：嗨。劳驾。很抱歉打扰你了。我想去皇家酒店。你知道在哪吗？
Stranger: You walk down this street, turn left at the first intersection. Walk down that road, turn right at the corner. After that, you make a left-hand turn at the first traffic light. The Royal Hotel is on your right side.
陌生人：沿着这条街一直走，在第一个十字路口处向左拐。再沿着那条路走，在街角处右转。然后，在第一个红绿灯处往左拐。皇家酒店就在你的右侧。
Ann: Great! Are there any landmarks nearby?
安：太好了！附近有什么标志性的东西吗？
Stranger: I think the hotel is right across the street from the post office. It's as plain as the hump on a camel.
陌生人：我想这家酒店就在邮局的对面。它就像骆驼身上的驼峰一样明显。
Ann: Oh, that's good. Is that far from here?
安：哦，太好了。离这里远吗？
Stranger: Yeah, it's going to take you a while if you go by foot. I'd say it's about a 30-minute uphill walk. You have to be as strong as a lion to make it.
陌生人：是的，如果你步行的话，得走上一阵子呢。要我说差不多得走30分钟的上坡路。你得像狮子一样强壮才能走过去。
Ann: Oh, that will take too long. Can I take a bus there?
安：哦，那时间太长了。我能坐公共汽车吗？
Stranger: Well, you could take a bus there. A taxi would probably be a lot quicker.
陌生人：嗯，你可以乘公共汽车。坐出租车可能会快得多。
Ann: All right. Thanks.
安：好的。多谢了。
