Harry Bennett is walking on a street in downtown Manhattan holding some flowers. He takes out a piece of paper from his pocket. It reads, “Susan Stewart, 83 Wooster, phone #555-9470, 8:00 P.M.” He stops and asks a street vendor for directions.

Harry: Excuse me. Can you help me? 

Vendor: Sure, what do you want? 

Harry: Where is 83 Wooster Street? 

Vendor: That’s easy. (He points down the street.) Walk to the corner. Then walk two blocks to the traffic light. Make another left to Wooster.

Harry: Thank you. To the corner and then a left?

Vendor: Yeah. A left. Hot dog? Only seventy-five cents.

Harry: No. Thank you. I have a dinner date.

Harry still can’t find his way. He dials Susan’s telephone number from a pay phone.

Harry: 555-9470...and it's busy....  Try again. 555-9470...and it's still busy. (He walks into a grocery store to ask for directions.) Excuse me, ma'am. I'm looking for 83 Wooster Street.

Woman: Yes. Wooster Street is two blocks, and 83 is to the right, about two houses.

Harry: Thank you, thank you!

Woman: You're welcome.

注释：

1．  Make a left turn. = Turn to the left.向左转。Make another left to Wooster.再向左转就到了Wooster街。

2．  To the corner and then a left?英美人在问清路线之后习惯于把听到的话简约的重复一遍以确认自己没有听错。

3．  Yeah: yes, 前者是非正式用语。

4．  Date：指异性间恋爱而进行的约会。事物性约会叫做：appointment。双方互不认识，由人介绍的第一次约会称作blind date。

5．  Pay phone：a public phone.公用电话。

6．  Ask for direction: ask the way.问路。
