如何回答where,how far等问题

摘要

<正> 回答 Where is the railway station?How far is it to the hospital?这类问题时,英汉语有所不同。中国人会直接告诉对方所问地点的方向和距离,而英美民族通常以时间或街区来回答。例如:(1)—Where is the zoo,please?—It’s two blocks away.离这儿有两个街区。(2)—How far is it to the hotel?—About a forty minute ride.乘车大约要40分钟。(3)—How far away is the post office?
