1-073 The Way to King Street

Lesson 73 The way to King Street Listen to the tape then answer this question. Why did the man need a phrasebook? Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way. Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. ‘I can ask him the way, ' she said to herself.

上星期米尔斯夫人去了伦敦。她对伦敦不很熟悉，因此迷了路。 突然，她在公共汽车站附近看到一个男人。“我可以向他问路，”她想。

‘Excuse me, ’ she said. ‘Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?’ The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He was a tourist.

“对不起，您能告诉我到国王街怎么走吗?”她说。 这人友好地笑了笑。他不懂英语!他讲德语。他是个旅游者。

Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrasebook. He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. ‘I am sorry, ' he said. 'I do not speak English. '

然后他把手伸进了衣袋，掏出了一本常用语手册。 他翻开书找到了一条短语。他缓慢地读着短语。 “很抱歉,”他说，“我不会讲英语。”
