How do I get to the airport?

学英文首先要学会问问题,在英语里问问题的方式总离不开5个W和1个H,5个W是指Who(谁)、Where(哪里)、When(何时)、What(什么)和Which(哪个),1个H指How(怎样、如何)。如果要问苹果的英文怎样拼,可以说:How do you spell apple?(怎样拼苹果的英文字呢?),又或想问怎样去机场,可以用:How do I get to the airport?(我怎样去机场呢?)。 向别人问路,也可以说: Can you give me directions to the airport?(可指示我去机场的方向吗?),假如你在赶时间,需要最快的路程,就可以问"What's the fastest way to the airport?"(最快到机场的路线是什么?),如果你不介意路程远一点,想沿途欣赏风景,你可以问:"What's the scenic way to the airport?"(到机场最风光明媚的路是那一条?)。

对话
A: Hey, how do I get to the airport?
B: If you wait at that bus stop, you can catch the airbus.
A: How long does it take?
B: About ninety minutes, I think. If you're in a hurry, I think you should take a cab.
A: Alright, thank you!
甲:嗨,请问我怎样去机场?
乙:假如你在此车站等,就可以乘机场巴士。
甲:路程需时多久?
乙:我想大约90分钟。如果你赶时间,我建议你乘出租车。
甲:好的,谢谢!

向人问路,有时不妨先说句‘开场白’:Excuse me. Can you help me? I'm lost/I've lost my way/I can't find my way(对不起,请帮帮忙好吗?我迷路了)。然后你可以讲出自己要找的地方。

问街道、建筑物、名胜等在哪里,有多个常用说法:(1) How do I get to Water Street, please? (2) Could you direct me to Water Street? (3) Can you tell me where Water Street is? (4) Could you tell me the way to Water Street? (5) Would you be kind/good enough to tell me the way to Water Street? (6) Which way is Water Street?这都是‘请问去水街怎么走’的意思。Be kind/good enough一词,语气颇为拘谨,有‘惠然做某事’的含义。

问去某地最快或最短的路线,则可以说:What is the quickest/shortest way to....? 假如你不是完全不认得路,只是不肯定自己走的路对不对,那就可以问:(1) Am I right for the airport? (2) Am I on the right road to the airport? (3) Is this the road to the airport? (4) Am I headed toward the airport?(这是去机场的路吗?)

人家给你指点方向之后,假如还不清楚,有一句话很有用:I'm sorry, do you mind repeating that?(对不起,可以再说一遍吗?)假如你拿着地图,也可以打开来指着问:You mean we're here and the post office is there?(你是说我们在这儿,而邮局则在那儿?)
