Left or West, Miles or Minutes
When you ask for directions, answers may vary (变化) in different places. In northern China, people usually give directions with “go east” or “go west”, because most northern cities were built on plains (平原), which makes it easy to tell the directions. But Tianjin is one exception (例外). People there normally (通常) use “turn left” or “turn right”, just like the southerners do. It is because many main roads in Tianjin run along the Haihe River, which makes directions hard to tell. When it comes to (当谈到) distance, people from the Midwest of the US always use miles, while in the southwest of the States you would probably (很可能) hear “it’s just about 10 minutes’ walk”.
Nowadays, more and more people are getting used to using map apps for directions. It is much more convenient with timely updates and en-route directions (在途导航). However, sometimes you still need to ask a real person for directions.
向左或向西,几英里或几分钟
你问路时,答案可能在不同的地方有所不同。在中国北方,人们通常用“向东”或“向西”来指示方向,因为大多数北方城市都建在平原上,所以很容易辨别方向。但天津是一个例外。那里的人们通常(通常)使用“左转”或“右转”,就像南方人那样。这是因为天津的许多主要道路都沿着 海河,因此很难辨别方向。当谈到距离时,来自美国中西部的人们总是使用英里,而在美国西南部,你可能会听到“只需步行10分钟”。
如今,越来越多的人习惯于使用地图应用程序来指路。它更方便与及时更新和途中指示。然而,有时候你仍然需要向一个真正的人问路。
