如果你想步行去某个地方,首先要确定的就是该目的地能否步行到达。
Is it far to walk?
例句:
A: I want to buy some clothes.
我想买衣服
B: You can go to the department store.
你可以去百货商店买
A: Is it far to walk?
步行路远吗?
B: Yes, it’s too far to walk. You’ll have to take a bus.
是的,非常远,你最好乘公交车去。
如果路远想走路去某地,可是那个地方很远,光走路是到不了的,此时你应该怎么跟对方说呢?
It’s not within walking distance.
例句:
A: Is the Starbucks just around the corner?
星巴克是不是就在附近?
B: No, it’s not within walking distance. It seems that you have to take a bus there.
不,那不是走路可以到的。看来你得乘公交车去了。
相反的如果我们想表达“走路可以去的”我们可以说
It’s within walking distance.
开车有多长时间的路程要怎么表达呢
例句:
How far is the shopping mall from here?
购物中心离这儿有多远?
It’s about 20 minutes drive from here.
从这儿开车大约20分钟
