When foreigners ask for directions, police officers must be especially patient and considerate and do their utmost to give correct and clear instructions. It is better to use traffic lights or signs and outstanding buildings as references when they show the way to consulters. If the place asked about is too far away it will be very helpful to tell them how to take a bus, taxi, or subway and when to make a change if needed.

If you ask the way in a foreign country, please don't forget to say "Hello" or "Hi" or "Excuse me" before and "Thanks" after it.

The words, expressions and sentence patterns below are often used to show and ask for directions. It is important and necessary for Chinese officers to get familiar with them.

遇到外国人问路时，我国民警应该耐心、体贴，尽力给出准确、清晰的解答。给外国人指路时，民警最好借助一些交通标志、典型建筑物等参照物指明方位。如果问路者要去的地方比较远，需要乘坐公共汽车、出租车、地铁等交通工具时，需要告诉他们如何乘车、如何换乘等。

如果我国警方工作人员在境外问路，要先说“Hello”“Hi”或“Excuse me”，礼貌地打招呼，问路后要说“Thanks”来道谢。

我国警察在指路、问路时经常需要使用本单元的词语和句型，应熟记于心。 jUKV2W8kQVKVn/OzxsWVaWIiVopN0mveYNIg4V0iKjYrcHN5Cs69suOazkOjh6rH
