learn mandarin hong kong-Tell Me About this Campus

 

♦A: 对不起,打扰一下,我 想了解一些关于这个学 校的事。现在我觉得它太大了, 把人搞糊涂了。我连去哪和做什么都搞 不清。
Duìbùqǐ, dǎrǎo yīxià, wǒ xiǎng liǎo jiè yīxiē guānyú zhège xuéxiào de shì. Xiànzài wǒ juéde tā tài dàle, bǎ rén gǎo hútúle. Wǒ lián qù nǎ hé zuò shénme dōu gǎo bù qīng.
Excuse me, I would like to know something about this campus. Right now it seems very big and confusing! I have no idea where I am going or what I am doing.
♦B: 你有没有校区地图?
Nǐ yǒu méiyǒu xiàoqū dìtú?
Do you have a map of the campus?
♦A: 有,不过也没多大用处 。我不怎么会看地图。
Yǒu, bùguò yě méi duōdà yòngchù. Wǒ bù zě me huì kàn dìtú.
Yes, I have, but it doesn’t help me very much. I’m not very good at reading maps.
♦B: 你知不知道你的教室在哪里?
Nǐ zhī bù zhīdào nǐ de jiàoshì zài nǎlǐ?
Do you know where your classes are?
♦A: 多少知道一点。我要到 三栋不同的大楼上课,老是迟到,真是没没希 望。我也不知道为什么总是 迟到,别人怎么就不迟到。
Duōshǎo zhīdào yīdiǎn. Wǒ yào dào sān dòng bùtóng de dàlóu shàngkè, lǎo shì chídào, zhēnshi mò mò xīwàng. Wǒ yě bù zhīdào wèishéme zǒng shì chídào, biérén zěnme jiù bù chídào.
More or less. I go to three different buildings, and always get there late. I feel so hopeless. I don’t know why I am late all the time. No one else seems to be.
♦B: 那是因为你不会抄小路 。不久以后你就会知道了 。我可以告诉你这窍门 。
Nà shì yīnwèi nǐ bù huì chāo xiǎolù. Bùjiǔ yǐhòu nǐ jiù huì zhīdàole. Wǒ kěyǐ gàosu nǐ zhè qiàomén.
That’s because you don’t know the short cuts. You’ll learn them after a while. I can show you the ropes.
