哥伦布英语 第 45 课：In a Strange City 在一个陌生的城市里

If you go out by yourself in a strange city, you might get lost. 如果你在陌生的城市里一个人出去走走，你可能会迷路。

What should you do? How can you find your way? 那你该怎么办呢？你该如何找到路呢？

Of course, if you never go out alone, you won't get lost, but you will also miss a lot of good experiences. 当然，如果你从来不独自出门，你不会迷路，但是你将会错过许多很好的经历。

One thing you can do in case you get lost is take a map along. 为了防止迷路，你能做的一件事就是随身携带一份地图。

It might also be a good idea to take a card from your hotel, so you have the hotel's address. 随身带一张酒店的卡片也是个好主意，这样你就知道酒店的地址了。

If the map doesn's help you, or if you forget to take one, you must ask how to get where you're going. 如果地图帮不了你，或者你忘记带地图了，你必须向他人问路。

You can ask, for example, "There is Nova Hotel?'or "How do I get to Nova Hotel?" or "Do you know where Nova Hotel is?例如，你可以问“Nova酒店在哪里？”或者问“我该怎么走才能到Nova酒店？”或者问“您知道Nova酒店在哪里吗？”

"Police officers and clerks in shops are often helpful when you ask directions. 当你要问路时，警察或商店的店员通常会帮助你。
