你需要知道的最重要的事情之一是怎么用英语询问。想象一下需要上洗手间时但无法找到方向的时候吧!
在英国(因此使用英式英语),人们直接了当的提问
‘Could you tell me where the bathroom is please?
‘Where are the toilets please?’
‘Where are the ladies’/gents’ please?’
‘Are there are any public toilets nearby please?’
有时你可能会听到人们使用俚语,就像是
‘Excuse me but where is the loo?’
‘I’m just going for a patter on the porcelain.’
‘I’m just off to point Percy at the porcelain.’
在美国人们相对比较腼腆的提问
‘Could you tell me where the restroom is please?’
‘Whereis the ladies’/men’s room please?’
你也可能会听到他们使用俚语,就像是
‘Where is the john?’
‘I’m going to the head.’
‘I need to take a leak.’
