Donny 在北京學(xué)漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是瓊燕要問的：路癡。 　　

Donny: Hey, 瓊燕! You went hiking over the weekend, right? How was it?

QY: The view was breathtaking! 我跟朋友去了一個國家公園，可氣的是，我們都是路癡，走錯了好幾回，1個小時的路足足走了3個小時! I'm such a road idiot.

Donny: Road idiot? (詭異的笑) That's not how we say it! You can say, I have no sense of direction. 　　

QY: 哦，direction 是方向，所以No sense of direction 就是沒有方向感——路癡啦！ 　　

Donny: Right! People with no sense of direction can easily get lost. 路癡經(jīng)常迷路。 　　

QY: 這說的不就是我么？下禮拜我們要開車去南京，一定又會迷路……哎，Donny，你原來是不是在南京住過？ 　　

Donny: Yep! I lived in Nanjing for 3 years. I know that city like the back of my hand. 　　

QY: Like the back of your hand? 了如指掌？ 　　

Donny: Exactly! It basically means that I know Nanjing really well. You can also say: I know every nook and cranny of Nanjing. 　　

Where is my destiny? Who am I and where should I go?
QY: Wait! Every nook and cranny? nook 一定是 n-o-o-k, 那 cranny 要怎么拼呢？ 　　

Donny: Cranny is spelled c-r-a-n-n-y. When people say "every nook and cranny," they're talking about every tiny corner and out-of-the-way place. 　　
QY: 我明白了，every nook and cranny 就是所有邊邊角角，犄角旮旯。對了，既然你對南京這么熟，你一定要跟我們?nèi)ィ∵@樣我們就不會走丟了。 　　

QY: 第一：形容路癡可以說：somebody has no sense of direction；第二，對一個地方了如直掌，是 know somewhere like the back of one's hand；也可以說 know every nook and cranny of a place。
