I'm a lost tourist in London, and I don't know where to go.

我走去問問倫敦地鐵的站務員

I'm going to talk to the ticket man in the London Underground and see if he can help me.

"嗨 我想要一張到Piccadilly的票" 他告訴我 "......"

"Hello, Mr. ticket man. I would like a ticket to Piccadilly."

他問了我一個問題 但我不知道該怎麼回答 所以我發出了 "額"

The man starts talking to me: "Blah, blah, blah."

"額" 這個語助詞是為了讓你有時間去思考回應 "額 請給我一張到 Piccadilly Circus的票"

He asks me a question.

我也可以說 "呃！我想要一張票，謝謝" 或

I don't know what to say, so I need to make a noise. "Ah."

"嗯，我想要去..." 或是 "嗯，我想要一張票"

These are noises that give you time to think about your answer.

站務員說了 " 沒有問題，這樣總共4,50英鎊 "

"Ah, I would like a ticket, please, to Piccadilly Circus."

接著我說了 "我覺得這有點貴啊"

Or, I could say, "Urgh, I want a ticket please."

這些短句都可以用來表達意見 如果我覺得它太貴了

Or "Urm, I, I want to go to --."

我可以說 我覺得那真的太貴了 或是 我是指 我只需要搭一站 約半公里

Or the other one would be, "Mmm, I want a ticket." Okay, good.

你看 我只有四英鎊 我快沒飯吃啦 或

So then, my ticket man says, "No problem. That will be four pounds fifty, please."

嗯 或許你可以算我便宜點 或 問題是 站務先生

I then say, "You know, I think that's a little bit expensive, a bit expensive."

我還是得去那裏啊 這些都是能向他表達意見的短句

So these are all phrases for expressing an opinion - if I think that's too big a price.

最後一個表達想法的方法是 我可以說 嗯是這樣的 你看

So I could say, "you know, I think that's too expensive."

我想去Piccadilly 但我有二英鎊能給你

Or, "I mean, I only really want to go one stop, half a mile. You see, I've only got four pounds. Then, I can't eat."

這些都能表達意見，意思接近於我想要 我需要

Or, "Well, maybe you could give it to me for a little less."

那個站務人員想了一下 接著他說 嗯 我可以算你三英鎊

Or, "the thing is, Mr. ticket man, I need to go there as well."

這是你像要的嗎？ "A single?" 什麼是"A single?"

These are all expressing an opinion to the ticket man, okay?

這些短句是用於當我需要思考回應時 因此我可以說 嗯 我看看 A single?

So, one last way of expressing an opinion.

接著我重複一次他給我的難題 或者我可以說 讓我想想

I could say, "Well, it's like this: You see, I want to go to Piccadilly, but I can only give you two pounds."

這或許是個好主意 或 給我一分鐘 我問問我的朋友 或是 先生請您等等

Okay? All ways of saying, of giving an opinion, of starting "I want, I need," okay?

我需要看看我的旅遊手冊 或是 這是個很有趣的問題

The ticket man thinks, and then he says, "Well, for three pounds, I can give you a single. Is that what you want?"

不過 "這是個有趣的問題" 比較適合用在學校裡

"A single? What is a single?"

或許不太適合用於倫敦地下鐵

These are all phrases for when I need to think about my answer.

但 總之 這是個很好用的短句 或是 我可以說 我不確定耶

So I could say, "Mmm, let me see. A single?".

或許 你可以告訴我更多？ 接著 站務人員說 我當然能告訴你更多

And then I repeat the question he has given to me. Okay?

但你要看下一集 EngVid 下次見摟！我是班傑明

Or I can say, "Um, now, let me think. That might be a good idea."

謝謝！

Or, "Just a minute. I'm going to ask my friend."

Or, "Hang on, sir. I need to look in my guidebook to find out."

Or, "That's a really interesting question."

Now, the thing about this phrase here, "It's a really interesting question," it's better maybe in school or university, probably not very appropriate for the London Underground.

But it's a good phrase to remember, anyway.

Or I could say, "I'm not sure about that. Um, maybe. Could you tell me more?".

And then, the ticket man says, "Of course I can tell you more, but you must watch the next video in EngVid."

See you soon. My name is Benjamin.

Thank you.
