Tanya: We’ve been here for three days and I’m still getting lost.
Darren: Here’s a map. These are the residential 1 neighborhoods. See? This is where we’re staying.
Tanya: I know, I know. But where were we today? The tour bus went down so many alleys 2 that I lost my bearings after 10 minutes. I thought we were going in circles.
Darren: Look, we drove through downtown first, past the financial district. Next, we drove past the housing projects to the historic district.
Tanya: I remember all that.
Darren: Okay, then. From the historic district, we drove through uptown. Got that?
Tanya: Yeah, that’s where things get a little hazy 3. How did we get to the outskirts 4 of town? One minute we were in uptown, and the next minute, we were at the city limits.
Darren: We took one of the back roads along here. See? Now do you understand the lay of the land?
Tanya: Yup, definitely. Ask me anything. I know this city like the back of my hand.
Darren: No, thanks. That’s like the blind leading the blind!
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- The mayor inspected the residential section of the city.市长视察了该市的住宅区。
- The residential blocks were integrated with the rest of the college.住宿区与学院其他部分结合在了一起。
- I followed him through a maze of narrow alleys. 我紧随他穿过一条条迂迴曲折的窄巷。
- The children lead me through the maze of alleys to the edge of the city. 孩子们领我穿过迷宫一般的街巷，来到城边。
- We couldn't see far because it was so hazy.雾气蒙蒙妨碍了我们的视线。
- I have a hazy memory of those early years.对那些早先的岁月我有着朦胧的记忆。
