You are seeing that the post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains, so the land is very flat.In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles.Turn east, and then go another mile.”
虽然只是生活中的一个简单的ห้องสมุดไป่ตู้问路”,但是中西文化的差 异竟然如此大,即使是同属东方的日本,“指路”的文化还是与我 们的有所不同,更不用说美国等其他西方国家了。
I travel a lot, and I find out different styles(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?” Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names.For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.

【参考范文】 I went to Zhuhai with my family last year. We enjoyed ourselves there. It is a very beautiful seaside city in the south of Guangdong. There are lots of places of interest. We went to Zhuhai Fishing Girl. The scenery there is very beautiful. As a seaside city, Zhuhai is also well-known for its seafood. You can taste different kinds of seafood without spending too much money. I won’t forget the days we spent in Zhuhai. If I have another chance, I will go there again.
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure(测量) distance in time, not miles.“How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’ t know. It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite.They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A tourist can get lost in Yucatan!
