1. How to offer a ride 如何表达捎对方一程
没车的外国人,其实,特别希望有人能开车捎着他/她,所以,安全情况下,完全可以直接询问!
For most foreigners really just asking them directly it's not inappropriate.
对于大多数外国人来说,直接询问没有什么不合适的。
* asking them directly 直接询问
inappropriate /‘ɪnə’proprɪət/ 不合适的
我们可以这样问:
* Hey, do you need a ride ? 需要捎着你吗?
* Hey, Can I offer you a ride? 我能捎你回家吗?
这样表达简单,明了!!
通常情况下,如果外国朋友没有车时,他们是期待被捎一程哒 .They’re hoping for it �
2. positions in the car 坐在哪儿
a.坐副驾驶吧:
* You can sit by the driver 坐在驾驶旁边
* You can sit the front passenger / you can sit in the front 坐在乘客的前面
* Shotgun ( n.副驾驶 最地道表达,比较口语化)
I’m riding shotgun /I have shotgun/I’ve got shotgun/I’m in shotgun 我坐在副驾驶
b. 坐后排吧:
* You can sit in the back 你可以坐在后面
* I will sit in the back 我坐在后面
* I get the window / you can sit by the window 我坐在靠窗的位置
如果车内人比较多,你可以说 I’ll sit in the middle 我坐在中间
3. giving directions 在路上如何指方向
我们需知道:
cardinal directions 基本方向
north south east and west 上北下南左西右东
If I don't know the direction I'm going in the right and left are meaningless.如果搞不懂基本方向,向左、向右就显得毫无意义。
日常生活实用表达:
基本款:
* go toward north =head north 往北
* go towards south= head south 往南
* Turn left 左转
* Turn right 右转
升级款:
下一个路口左转:
* take the second turn on the left
* turn left on the second street / turn left at the second street
* Turn left at the next intersection (有红绿灯的十字路口)
下下个路口左(右)转:
* Take the third turn on the left (左转)
* Take the third turn on the right (右转)
直行:
* Go along
* Go straight
掉头:
make / take a U-turn
靠边停车:
* park on the side
* Go into the parking lot
parking lot 停车区
在这停一下:
* Can you wait here?
* Can you stop here?
小心,不要闯红灯
* Be careful , don’t passed through the red light!
* Do not run the red light!
4. Small talk 聊点啥
美国人都喜欢这么问,但只是问问而已,并不真的care 你的answer. So don’t talk too much 不要掏心掏肺地说太多哦
聊天也要看关系:
Didi (打车): don’t talk 不用聊
One time friend(泛泛之交) : weather, sports ,hobbies
close: deep topic 深一点的话题
建议:
与外国人交流时,Don’t make assumption, it’s better to ask 不要主观臆断,要多问问题.这种方式 easily to build a relationship 更容易建立关系。
