Lesson 73 The way to King Street¶
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. '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. 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.'
上周米尔斯太太去了伦敦。她对伦敦不太熟悉，所以迷了路。突然，她在公共汽车站附近看到一个人。"我可以向他问路，"她自言自语道。"打扰一下，"她说。"请问到国王街怎么走？"那个人愉快地笑了笑。他不懂英语！他说德语。他是个游客。然后他把手伸进口袋，拿出一本常用语手册。他翻开书找到了一条短语。他缓慢地读出那条短语。"很抱歉，"他说，"我不会说英语。"
