简介第一句 英文慢速生活英语系列１：Asking for DirectionsI went to Vancouver for a meeting this week. I have always liked Vancouver, and on top of that, my cousin Dominick just moved there. I got in touch with him and he invited me over to see his new place.On the way over, though, I got a little lost. I knew I was in the right area, but I was turned around. He lived in an apartment over an old bakery and I couldn't find it. I stopped a man who was walking by to ask for directions.Lucy: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the Cross Bakery building?Man: The Cross Bakery building? Oh sure. You're actually walking in the opposite direction.Lucy: Oh, you're kidding! I thought I was heading east.Man: No, east is the other direction. To get to the Bakery, you need to turn around and go three blocks to Broadway. When you get to the intersection of Broadway and Elm, you hang a left. Go straight down that street for half a block and then you'll see the building on your left.Lucy: Okay, let me see if I've got that. I need to go down Elm until I hit Broadway, then I make a left and the building is on my left hand side. Is that right?Man: Yeah, you've got it. Do you want me to show you the way?Lucy: Thanks for the offer, but I think I've got it. Hopefully, I won't get lost again on my way there!中文慢速生活英语系列１：问路 这击我去温哥华开会。

What do you want to do?W: I have no idea. Do you think we're in a rut?M: What do you mean?W: Well, we do the same things every weekend. We go to the same restaurants. We see the same friends. You know what I mean?M: Yeah, I guess you're right. It's easy to get bogged down in the day to day, and forget to change things up once in a while. Let's break out and do some thing completely different tonight. W: Okay, I'll look in the events section of the paper to see what's going on tonight. Hmm, we could go to a concert. There is a good one tonight. I bet it's not sold out. But, we'll have to drive an hour to the venue. M: An hour? That's a bit of a bummer. Let me take a peek and see what else there is. How about going dancing? We haven't done that in a while. There's a club in Silver Lake that's supposed to be hopping on Friday nights. Eddie from work told me that they have a really good DJ and a big dance floor, and the cover charge isn't bad. W: I'm not really in the mood for dancing, actually. You know what? I just feel like staying home tonight and vegging, after all. How about you? M: Yeah, I was hoping you'd say that. It's nice to have the option to go out but I'd rather stay in. Maybe we can go out tomorrow night.W: Yeah, definitely, tomorrow night.中文慢速生活英语系列２：墨守成规 女：今晚你想干点什么 男：不知道，你呢 女：我也没想好，你是否觉得我们活得有点墨守成规 男：你什么意思 女：我们每个周末总是做同样的事，去同样的饭馆，会同样的朋友，你明白我的意思吗 男：噢，有有点。

After asking the people in the department and finding out their availability, I called the restaurant to make a reservation.Manager: Bruno's.Jeff: Hi, I'm calling from Nika Corporation. We would like to hold a business lunch at the restaurant.Manager: Oh, certainly. I'm Linda, the manager. I can help you with that. How many will there be in your party?Jeff: There will be about 18 people.Manager: Okay. For a party that size, we have a separate banquet room in the back.Jeff: Is there an extra charge to reserve the room?Manager: No, as long as you can guarantee at least 15 guests, there is no extra charge.Jeff: That's great. I'd like to go ahead and reserve the room, then, for Friday, December 2, at around noon. This is a retirement party and we'd like to bring a cake for the guest of honor and some bottles of champagne. Will that be acceptable?Manager: The cake is no problem at all, but we do charge a corkage fee of $15 a bottle for any alcohol not purchased from the restaurant. Jeff: Oh, that's fine.Manager: Great.
