點樣用英文形容室內方向

點樣用英文形容室內方向

室內方向用語可以幫你解釋一座建築物入面某樣嘢喺邊度。喺辦公室、酒店、學校、公寓、醫院、商店,或者火車站,你都會用到呢啲字。如果有人問洗手間喺邊、喺邊度辦理登記,或者某個會議室喺邊,你需要嘅唔止係「over there」(嗰邊)。你需要清晰嘅字眼去講樓層、房間、走廊、轉角、入口、出口同附近嘅物件。

室內方向通常結合三個概念:移動、位置同參照點。移動話畀人知去邊:go down the hall、turn left、take the stairs。位置講某樣嘢喺邊:next to the elevator、across from reception、in the corner。參照點令方向更易跟隨:after the glass doors、by the vending machines、near the main entrance。

重點區分

Upstairsdownstairs 形容建築物入面唔同嘅樓層。Upstairs 意思係喺較高嘅樓層,downstairs 意思係喺較低嘅樓層。

Inside 意思係喺一座建築物或者一個房間之內;outside 意思係唔喺入面。Indoors 同 inside 相似,但佢通常形容一項活動或者一個整體環境。

Near 意思係接近某樣嘢;next to 意思係直接喺佢旁邊;across from 意思係由一個空間嘅另一邊面對住佢。

At the end of 形容一條走廊、一個房間或者一條隊伍嘅末端;in the middle of 形容中央嘅部分。

On the lefton the right 取決於一個人面向嘅方向。畀方向指引時,要講明對方幾時會見到佢:「It will be on your left.」

自然搭配

可以用 go upstairscome downstairswalk down the hallwayturn left at the cornertake the elevatoruse the stairspass receptionenter through the main doorexit through the side door,同 wait in the lobby

位置短語方面,可以用 next to the elevatoracross from the restroomnear the entranceby the windowin the back roomat the front deskon the second floor,同 at the end of the hall

"The meeting room is upstairs."

"Turn right at the end of the hallway."

"The restrooms are across from the elevator."

"Please check in at the front desk."

"The copy machine is in the corner by the window."

呢啲短語好有用,因為佢哋同時畀到一條路徑同一個地標。

例句

"The classroom is on the third floor."

"Take the stairs down to the lobby."

"The manager's office is at the end of the corridor."

"The water fountain is next to the restrooms."

"Please wait inside the main entrance."

"The conference room is on your right after the glass doors."

"Go past reception and turn left."

"The storage room is behind the service counter."

"The elevator is near the back of the building."

"There is a small seating area in the middle of the lobby."

畀出清晰嘅室內方向指引

好嘅室內方向指引通常由對方當前所在嘅位置開始。如果你係對住一位喺入口嘅訪客講嘢,就由嗰度開始。

"From the main entrance, walk straight through the lobby."

"Go past the front desk and turn right."

"Take the elevator to the fourth floor."

"When you get out, the office will be on your left."

按次序用簡短嘅步驟。一句包含太多指示嘅長句子好易令人唔記得。與其講「Go upstairs and left and down the hall and it is there」,不如將條路徑清晰咁分開。

"Take the stairs to the second floor. Turn left. Room 204 is the third door on your right."

當一個地方難搵嘅時候,加上一個睇得到嘅地標。

"The door is next to the blue sign."

"The clinic is across from the pharmacy counter."

"The restroom is behind the cafe seating area."

形容物件喺邊度

室內位置通常用介詞。封閉空間用 in,平面或者樓層用 on,點或者服務地點就用 at

"The files are in the cabinet."

"The printer is on the desk."

"The office is on the fifth floor."

"Meet me at the front desk."

形容接近時用 bynearBy 聽落可以比 near 略為精確啲。

"The umbrella stand is by the door."

"There is a vending machine near the elevator."

兩樣嘢之間用 between,一組嘢之中就用 among

"The restroom is between the cafe and the bookstore."

"The information desk is among the ticket counters."

學習者常見錯誤

唔好講「in the second floor」。要講「on the second floor」。樓層用 on

唔好混淆 across fromnext to。Across from 意思係由另一邊面對住某樣嘢;next to 意思係喺佢旁邊。

指方向時唔好講「turn to left」。要講「turn left」或者「turn to the left」。喺日常方向指引入面,「turn left」係最常用嘅。

唔好將 indoor 當副詞用。要講「go indoors」或者「go inside」,唔好講「go indoor」。

唔好講「at upstairs」。要講「upstairs」或者「on the upper floor」。

唔好忘記聽者嘅視角。「It is on the left」如果你加埋幾時就更清晰:「After you pass reception, it will be on your left.」

實用範文

由正門出發,呢個培訓室好易搵。穿過大堂,行過前枱。喺嗰棵大植物嗰度轉右,然後沿住走廊向住升降機嗰邊繼續行。搭升降機去三樓。門一開,轉左,行到走廊嘅盡頭。培訓室就喺洗手間對面,喺嗰個細小嘅休息區旁邊。

清晰嘅室內方向指引一步一步咁推進。由聽者嘅位置開始,用常見嘅移動動詞,加上樓層同走廊資訊,最後以一個能確認位置正確嘅地標收尾。
