课文译文

麦克斯轻而易举就到了利物浦车站。火车穿过乡间长达300英里的旅途让他心旷神怡，

但现在麻烦来了：怎么才能找到青年旅馆呢？旅游指南上说青年旅馆就位于港区边的一座

旧仓库里。地址是塔布莱街，L18EEo

他到火车站对面的旅游咨询处去打听了一下。站在柜台后的那位女士给了他一张城市

地图，告诉他到那里走路只要10分钟。他看到了地图上车站的方位，也看到了默西河和港

区。看起来很容易就能找到。说走就走，谁知天却开始下起雨来。

走了半个小时，他决定还是找人问下路。他当街拦住一位男士。

“不好意思，请问去青年旅馆怎么走啊？〃

但男士答复说，“对不起，我对这儿也不熟悉。"

于是他又去问警察，“不好意思，请问您知道青年旅馆在哪儿吗？〃

“呃，如果你是去火车站的话，很容易就能找到。从车站到那儿步行只要10分钟。啊,

你有地图，我们来看一下。我们现在在这儿。火车站是在车站路和主街的路口。沿着车站

路直行，走过电影院，你会看到一个有红绿灯的十字路口。在红绿灯那儿左拐，到街心转

盘后直行。青年旅馆就近在眼前了。你绝对不会找不到的。〃

“非常感谢。〃

“不客气，〃警察答道。

麦克斯这才意识到他刚刚把地图看反了。红绿灯那儿本来该向左拐的，他却朝右拐了！

街心转盘那里本来应该直行的，他却左拐了。

淋成落汤鸡的麦克斯折身返回车站，这次他小心翼翼生怕再次走错。五分钟后，他站

到了青年旅馆的门前。
