A：Well, can you tell me how to get to Orlando? I want to take my family to Disney World.
好的，你能告诉怎么去奥兰多吗？我想带家人去迪斯尼乐园。

B：Sure. Follow the highway south for about ten miles and get off at Exit 30. At the end of the ramp, make a left onto Highway 4.
当然可以。沿公路往南走，大约10英里，在30号出口下公路，再在坡道的尽头向左转走4号公路。

A：Left at the end of the ramp?
在坡道尽头向左转？

B：Yes, then, at the traffic light, turn right onto Ocean Road. At the next intersection, turn left and you’ll be at the entrance to Disney World.
是的，然后在红绿灯向右转向海洋大道。在下一个路口再向左转你就到了迪斯尼乐园的门口了。

（2）Parking 停车
A：You can’t park here! You’ll get a ticket!
你不能把车停在这儿。会罚款的。

B：I’ve had it! Parking in this city is a nightmare! Let’s look for a parking lot.
真够受。在这个城市里停车简直是受罪！咱们还是找个停车场吧。

A：There’s one right over there, and it’s only two dollars an hour.
那边有个停车场，而且一个小时只收2美元。

B：Hi. Here’s your ticket. Back up in that space next to the blue Honda. Just leave the keys in the car, but remember that we’re not responsible for any valuables left in your car.
这是你的停车票。请倒车停在那辆兰色本田车旁边的位置。把钥匙留在车里，但是我们对留在车里的贵重物品是不负责任的。

A：In that case, I’ll take my bag with me. By the way, could you tell us how to get to the Court House?
如果是这样的话，我最好把我的皮包带上。另外，你能告诉我们去法院怎么走吗？

B：No problem. Walk two blocks straight ahead, then make a right. You’ll see a gas station on your left. Pass the gas station and make another left down Thompson Street. The Court House will be right in front of you. It’s across the street from a Mc Donald’s.
没问题。一直走两个街区，然后往右拐，在你的左边有一个加油站，过加油站在汤姆森街往左拐，法院就在你眼前了。它就在一个麦当劳的对面。

A：So, I take a left after the gas station, onto what street?
那就是说，过了加油站往左拐，拐向什么街？

B：Thompson Street.
汤姆森街。

A：Thompson. Thanks.
汤姆森街，谢谢。
