[走遍美国] 美国面面观：你向别人问路时
《走遍美国》的每一个episode都包含美国生活中的一些细节，你有没有注意到呢？现在就让我们来了解和学习这些内容吧。
Most Americans are happy to give directions on the street. When Harry asked for directions, he started with, Excuse me. This is the usual way to begin a conversation with a stranger or to ask for information.
大多数美国人都乐意在大街道上为别人指路。当Harry问路时，他先说，Excuse me. 这是与陌生人谈话及问询时常用的开头语。
When asking for directions, it often helps to add a little explanation, such as I'm new here or I'm afraid I'm lost. You can also start with a question, such as Do you know this area? Or Can you tell me how to get to ...?
问路时，先做些届时会有帮助，如：我新来这里，或我可能是迷了路。你也可以先问问题，如：你熟悉这个地方吗？或你能告诉我如何去…？
Always repeat the directions after you hear them. Repeating will help you remember, and it shows the person helping you that you understand.
当人家告诉了你如何去某个地方后，你要重复人家的话，这会帮助你记住并向人家表示你明白了他说的话。
