6. Tell Me About this Campus
告訴我一些這個學(xué)校的事
A: Excuse me, I would like to know something about this campus. Right now it seems very big and confusing! I have no idea where I am going or what I am doing.
對不起,打擾一下,我想了解一些關(guān)于這個學(xué)校的事。現(xiàn)在我覺得它太大了,把人搞糊涂了。我連去哪和做什么都搞不清。
B: Do you have a map of the campus?
你有沒有校區(qū)地圖?
A: Yes, I have, but it doesn’t help me very much. I’m not very good at reading maps.
有,不過也沒多大用處。我不怎么會看地圖。
B: Do you know where your classes are?
你知不知道你的教室在哪里?
A: More or less. I go to three different buildings, and always get there late. I feel so hopeless. I don’t know why I am late all the time. No one else seems to be.
多少知道一點。我要到三棟不同的大樓上課,老是遲到,真是沒沒希望。我也不知道為什么總是遲到,別人怎么就不遲到。
B: That’s because you don’t know the short cuts. You’ll learn them after a while. I can show you the ropes.
那是因為你不會抄小路。不久以后你就會知道了。我可以告訴你這竅門。
