需要记住和练习的重要短语
Excuse me, I'm a bit lost and really need to find a restroom. Do you know if there's one nearby?
This is a polite way to ask for directions. 'Excuse me' gets attention, 'a bit lost' softens the request, and the question uses 'Do you know if...' for indirect politeness. Useful for starting conversations when needing help urgently.
这是一种礼貌地询问方向的方式。'Excuse me'吸引注意力，'a bit lost'柔化请求，问题使用'Do you know if...'来间接表达礼貌。在急需帮助时开始对话很有用。
Sure, no problem. The closest public restroom is in the park, just a couple of blocks down that way.
A helpful response to a direction request. 'Sure, no problem' shows willingness, and 'just a couple of blocks down that way' gives simple directions using distance and direction. Great for everyday navigation talks.

In the park? Okay. Is it easy to spot, or is it tucked away somewhere?
This confirms information and asks for more details. 'Okay' acknowledges, and the question contrasts 'easy to spot' vs. 'tucked away' using 'or' for alternatives. Useful to clarify locations and avoid confusion.
这确认了信息并询问更多细节。'Okay'表示认可，问题使用'or'对比'容易被发现'与'藏在某个地方'的备选方案。有助于澄清位置并避免混淆。
It's pretty easy. Once you get to the park entrance, you'll see a small building to your left. That's it.
Provides clear instructions. 'Once you get to...' uses a time clause for sequence, and 'to your left' specifies position. 'That's it' means that's the place. Ideal for giving step-by-step directions.

Got it. So, just straight down this street, and then look for the park entrance. Perfect. Thank you so much!
