one of the most common ways people explain where things are is using the term iblocks'.a block is the section of street between two intersections. so 'the next block' means the section of street after the next intersection, while three blocks ahead means to stay on the same street and keep going past the next three intersections.
人們解釋事物所在地最常用的一種方式就是使用術語，blocks'o block是在兩個十字路口之間的一段街區。因此”the next block“意味著下個路口之後的那段街區，而“three blocks ahead”意味著在同一條街道上但過接下來的三個路口。
another way of saying how far to go is to use phrases like 'the third right' or 'the next left'. so if someone says “take the third street on the left" it means you should walk past two intersections and then turn left at the third one.
另一種表示距離有多遠的方式即是使用象這樣的短語"the third right"或"the next left”。因此如果有人說："take the third street on the left"，意思是你應該走過兩介路口然後在第三個路口左轉。
there are several different ways to tell someone to make a right or left turn. 'take a left', 'go left', iturn left' and imake a left' all mean the same thing: turn left. "go around the corner" means turn at the next street without crossing it，
叫別人左轉或右轉的不同方式有好幾種。 ”take a left"、 "go left"、 "turn left”和”make a left"，都代表同樣的意思：左轉。“go around the corner”意思是在下個街道轉身但不跨越。
other directions refer to other buildings or landmarks. "lt's just past the bank" means if you go past the bank, the place you're looking for will be one of the next few buildings. 'opposite', 'across from', and facing all mean the same thing -0n the same street, but on the other side.
用建築或標誌物的指向。"it's just past the bank"，意思是如果你走過銀行，你要找的地方就在接下來的幾幢建築物中。 曝opposite廳、 卟across from”和"facing9的意思一樣，都代表同一個意思一在同一條街道上，但在另一邊。
