25. Asking Directions 問路
    A: Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get downtown?
    B: Yes, of course. Areyou familiar with the streets here?
    A: NO, I'm from out of town.
    B: Well, let me see. What would be the quickest way? I'll tell you. Go to the end of This block, turn right, and walk six blocks. Then turn left for three blocks. There's a Big intersection there. You can't miss it. The main business section is three or four blocks south of the intersection.
    A: Thanks a lot. Oh, one more thing. Are there any buses running this time of night?
    B: No. They stop at eleven p.m.
