A: Hello, madam! What can I do for you?
B: Do you know of any cheap hotel to stay near the Vatican City?
A: Of course. There's Hotel Sant'Angelo. It's on the right side of the Tiber River, and only one kilometer from the Spanish Steps.
B: That's nice. How can I get there?
A: Take the Leonardo Express to Rome Terminal Train Station from here, then transfer there to San Peter Square, and the hotel is to the east of it.
B: Thank you very much.
(After a while...)
B: Excuse me, where is Hotel Sant'Angelo?
C: Well, go straight down this street and turn left at the second cross, and you'll see the Sant'Angelo Castle. Then go across the bridge in front of the castle, the hotel is on the right, next to a grand souvenir shop.
B: How long will it take?
C: About 15 minutes on foot. You can look around and enjoy the view at the same time.
B: All right. Thank you very much!
A: 您好,女士!有什么可以为您效劳的吗?
B: 您知道梵蒂冈城附近有什么便宜的宾馆吗?
A: 当然。有一家圣天使宾馆。就在台伯河的右岸,离西班牙台阶只有一千米。
B: 很好。那我要怎么去那里?
A: 从这里搭机场快轨到罗马中央火车站,然后转车去圣彼得广场站。宾馆就在广场的东边。
B: 非常感谢。
(过了一会儿……)
B: 打扰一下,请问圣天使宾馆在哪里?
C: 沿这条街一直走,在第二个十字路口左转,就能看到圣天使城堡了。然后走过城堡前的桥,宾馆就在右手边,一家大型纪念品店的隔壁。
B: 要走多久?
C: 步行大概十五分钟。路上可以到处看看,欣赏一下景色。
B: 好的。非常感谢!

搞清楚地名怎么发音:
问路的时候最重要的就是地名,就算你用中文问路,只要说清楚地名,对方就能大概猜到你的意思。想想看,假如有个外国人在北京跟你问路,可是他对中文一窍不通,只要他问路的时候非常清晰地说出天安门,你肯定就会在第一时间知道他要问你天安门广场怎么去了,不是吗?
不过,光是看着罗马字母,不见得念出来就是对的,英文的自然拼读法到了法国就一点儿都不管用了,德语的发音逻辑在西班牙不见得用得上。所以最好还是先上网查查重要的地名发音,教学的视频非常多哦!如果发音真的有困难,那就把要去的地方写下来吧,这样最省事了。
带好地图:
可以买一张当地的地图,或在手机或平板电脑上事先下载当地的地图。这样不但自己可以参考着用,路人要帮你指路的时候也比较方便。
