A. Texts & Notes

1.Where's Mr Robinson's office?

在一个办公室的传达室，值班员接待各种来宾。
Businessman: Good morning. I'm looking for Mr Robinson?
Receptionist: Mr Robinson's office is on the second floor, Room 205.
Businessman: Thank you.

商人：早上好。我找罗宾逊先生。

Man: Excuse me. Is there a telephone here?
Receptionist: Yes, It's on this floor, the ground floor. Over there. Next to the lift.

接待员：布拉姆雷太太的办公室在四层。乘电梯到四层。403号房间就是。

注1. 英国习惯将楼房的地面第一层称为 ground floor。意思是底层，第二层开始计数，称 the first floor，第三层称 the second floor，…… 这样就与我国的习惯相差一层。美国的用法与我们一致。
Mr Robinson's office is on the second floor, Room 205. 这句话字面意思是，罗宾逊先生在第二层，205房间。如果在英国就得到三楼去找。
注2. 在第几层楼，说 on the （第几）floor.
— Where‘s the bar?（酒吧在哪儿？）
— Pardon, sir?（什么？先生。）
— Where's the bar? （酒吧在哪儿？）
— It's on the first floor.（在一楼。）*

2. How can I get here?

约翰在楼道里碰到了琳达 ……
John: Hello, Linda. These are for you?
Linda: Oh, how nice! They are lovely. Thank you, John.
John: Would you have dinner with me the evening?
Lindar: Of course. Where?
John: Let's go to the Italian restaurant in Green Street, Franco's.
Linda: Can you tell me the way?
John: Go along North Street. Turn left down West Street. Take the second turning on the right. That's Green Street. And Franco's Restaurant is on the corner, next to the Grand Hotel. And now I want to see Mr Jones. Can you tell me the way?
Linda: Along there. Third door on the left.

约翰：琳达，你好。这些（花）是给你的。
琳达：啊，真美！很好看。约翰，谢谢你。
约翰：今晚和我去吃饭好吗？
琳达：当然可以，在哪里？
约翰：我们到格林大街的意大利饭馆去吧，弗朗饭馆。
琳达：你能告诉我怎么走吗？
约翰：沿着北街往前走，然后向左拐到西大街，在第二个路口向左拐。寻就是格林大街。弗朗科饭馆就在拐角上，紧挨着大饭店。现在我还要去见琼斯先生，你能告诉很怎么走吗？
琳达：前面那儿，左边第三个门。

3. Can you tell me the way?

琳达来到格林大街，可是弗朗科饭店搬到大桥街去了。
Linda: Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to Bridge Street, please?
Woman: Yes. Go down this Street and take the third turning on the right.
Linda: Down this Street, then it's the third turning on the …
Woman: Right. It's on the right. The third turning on the right.
Linda: Thank you very much.
Jonhn: I'm very sorry. I'm late. Linad.
Linda: That's all right. But Franco's Restaurant isn't here now. It's in Bridge Street.
Jonhn: Where's Bridge Street?
Linda: I can tell you the way, I think.

琳达：劳驾，你能告诉我大桥街怎么走吗？
女子：可以，沿着这条街往前走，到第三个路口向右拐弯。
琳达：沿着这条街往前走，到第三个路口向……

琳达：非常感谢。
约翰：琳达，对不起，我迟到了。
琳达：没关系。但是弗朗科饭店不在这儿了，在大桥街。
约翰：大桥街在哪里？
琳达：我可以告诉你怎么走。我想可以。

注9：用 I'm sorry … 开头的句子用来表达因为某事而抱歉。That's all right. 是对别人表示歉意的回答。注意比较 Not at all. 是别人感谢自己的回答。例如：
A. I'm sorry. I couldn't come.
B. That's all right.
A. Thank you very much for your help.
B. Not at all.
Not at all. 可以用 You're welecome. 代替，意思是别客气、不用谢，美国人常用后者.
