Daniel: Dad, do you know which bus we should take?

Benjamin: Of course, er, let me check the bus schedule first.

Daniel: Be quick, please!

Benjamin: Why can't I find the bus your mother told me yesterday?

Daniel: Mom has told you about the direction 3 times yesterday.

Dad: But I was watching American Idol at that time.

Daniel: We need to ask someone.

(There comes Bus 29)

Benjamin: Excuse me? Does this bus go to Xidan Book Building?

Conductor: No, it doesn't. You need to take Bus 52.

Benjamin: Do I have to change to some other bus on the way?

Conductor: No.

Benjamin: I see, thanks. Oops! The Bus 52 is coming. Daniel, come on. Let's go.

丹尼爾：你知道我們坐哪路車嗎？

本杰明：當(dāng)然啊，恩，讓我先看一下公車牌。

丹尼爾：快點(diǎn)吧！

本杰明：為什么我沒有看見你媽媽昨天跟我說的那路公車呢？

丹尼爾：媽媽昨天跟你說了三次公交路線。

爸爸：但是那個(gè)時(shí)候我在看《美國(guó)偶像》啊。

丹尼爾：我們要問問起他的人。

（來了一輛29路車）

本杰明：你好，請(qǐng)問一下這車到西單圖書大廈嗎？

售票員：不到。你應(yīng)該乘52路。

本杰明：那我還需要轉(zhuǎn)車嗎？

售票員：不需要。

本杰明：我知道了，謝謝。啊，52路來了，丹尼爾，快，我們走。

Dad: I have no sense of directions at all. So many times when I go out to some place by bus I would have to ask the conductor how to get there. Thanks to them that they are always so helpful. But I don't know how they can remember so many places?

發(fā)音小貼士：舌后部向軟腭抬起，雙唇收得圓而小，并向前突出，音一經(jīng)發(fā)出就立即向后面的元音滑動(dòng)，聲帶振動(dòng)。

發(fā)音小貼士：舌前部盡量向硬腭抬起，雙唇向兩邊伸展成扁平形。該音一經(jīng)發(fā)出立刻向后面元音滑動(dòng)，聲帶振動(dòng)。

特別提示：在美音輔音系統(tǒng)中比英音多了個(gè)清輔音/hw /，和濁輔音/w /相對(duì)，有不少美國(guó)人把wh開頭的單詞念成/hw /,如what /hwat /, why /hwai/
