导航和问路

xiàn zài现在shǒu jī手机dǎo háng导航hěn很fāng biàn方便，hěn很duō多rén人yǐ jīng已经hěn很shǎo少xiàng向bié ren别人wèn lù问路le了。

Phone navigation is so convenient now that many people rarely ask anyone for directions.

dàn shì但是wèn lù问路bù不zhǐ shì只是zhǎo找fāng xiàng方向，yě也shì是yī一cì次xiǎo小xiǎo小de的jiāo liú交流。

But asking the way is not only about finding a direction; it is also a small exchange.

tè bié特别shì是zài在xiǎo小chéng shì城市huò zhě或者nóng cūn农村，dì tú地图shàng上de的xìn xī信息cháng cháng常常bù gòu不够zhǔn què准确。

Especially in small towns or the countryside, the information on a map is often not accurate enough.

dāng dì当地rén人zhī dào知道jìn近lù路hé和hǎo好zǒu走de的lù路，zhè xiē这些dǎo háng导航bù不huì会gào sù告诉nǐ你。

Locals know the shortcuts and the easy routes, and navigation will not tell you those.

wèn lù问路de的shí hou时候，xiān先jiào叫yī一shēng声「nǐ你hǎo好」，zài shuō再说「qǐng wèn请问」。

When you ask, start with hello, and then excuse me.

tīng听dǒng懂le了yào要dào道xiè谢，méi没tīng听dǒng懂jiù就zài再wèn问yī一biàn遍，bù yào不要bù hǎo yì si不好意思。

If you understood, thank them; if not, ask again — do not feel awkward.

rú guǒ如果duì fāng对方yuàn yì愿意，hái还kě yǐ可以shùn biàn顺便liáo聊liǎng两jù句dāng dì当地de的shēng huó生活。

If they are willing, you can even chat a little about life there.
