Excuse me, I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you heading to the train station? You look a bit thoughtful, like you might be trying to figure out which way to go.
打扰一下,希望你别介意我问,你是不是要去火车站啊?你看起来有点心事重重,好像在琢磨该往哪边走。

John (Male)
Oh, hi! Yes, actually, I am. Your observation is spot on. I'm a bit new to this area, and I'm supposed to meet someone at the station, but I'm not entirely sure which stop is the best one to get off at.
哦,你好!是的,我确实是。你观察得真准。我对这地儿有点不熟,我得去车站接人,但我不太确定在哪一站下车是最好的。

Sarah (Female)
No worries at all! Is it the main central station or one of the smaller regional ones? If it's the main one, you'll want the 'City Center' stop. It's the most convenient for the main entrance.
没事!是主要的中心车站还是小一点的区域性车站?如果是主站,你想在“市中心”这一站下车。那里离主入口最方便。

John (Male)
It is the main one! 'City Center,' got it. I was torn between that and 'Old Town Square,' as they both sounded close on the map. This is really helpful, thank you!
就是主站!“市中心”,知道了。我之前一直在“市中心”和“老城广场”之间犹豫,因为它们在地图上看起来都很近。这真的很有帮助,谢谢你!

Sarah (Female)
Yes, 'Old Town Square' is a bit of a walk from the main entrance, and you'd have to navigate through some busy streets. 'City Center' drops you off right by an escalator that leads straight to the station concourse.
是的,“老城广场”离主入口有点远,你还得穿过一些繁忙的街道。“市中心”会让你下车就在一个自动扶梯旁边,直接通往车站大厅。

John (Male)
That's perfect! I appreciate you clarifying that. It saves me a lot of potential confusion and extra walking. You've been a lifesaver.
太好了!感谢你澄清这一点。这省去了我很多潜在的困惑和不必要的步行。你真是帮了大忙。

Sarah (Female)
You're very welcome! We'll be there in about two stops, so just keep an eye out for the 'City Center' sign. Enjoy your visit!
不客气!我们大概再过两站就到了,注意看“市中心”的标志就行了。祝你旅途愉快!

John (Male)
I will, thanks again for your kindness! Have a good day.
我会的,再次感谢你的好意!祝你有个美好的一天。
