Как спросить и подсказать дорогу на английском
Сегодня разберем очень полезную с практической точки зрения тему.
О том, как спросить дорогу на английском, как подсказать дорогу и понять, что нам ответил собеседник.
Разберем наиболее распространенные фразы, которые я по традиции поместила в таблицы.
Как спросить дорогу на английском
Итак, представьте ситуацию. Вы находитесь в чужой стране, интернет не работает, сел телефон или отсутствует подробная карта местности, на которой вы находитесь.
А вам очень нужно дойти или доехать до определенного места.
В такой ситуации вы, конечно же, обратитесь к прохожим.
Разумеется, на английском языке. Для этого достаточно выучить несколько фраз и в нужный момент их вспомнить и воспроизвести.
Спросить, куда идти и как пройти, можно разными способами.
Для вежливого обращения, в начале любой фразы лучше сказать:
Список фраз приведу в таблице:
Фраза | Перевод |
How can I get to the city centre? | Как мне добраться до центра города? |
Where is the nearest pharmacy? | Где ближайшая аптека? |
Could you tell me the way to the National Museum? | Вы не могли бы подсказать мне дорогу к национальному музею? |
Where is the hotel? | Где отель? |
Is the ATM far from here? | Банкомат далеко отсюда? |
Is the market near here? | Рынок недалеко отсюда? |
Could you help me? I am looking for the hospital. | Не могли бы вы мне помочь? Я ищу больницу. |
Запомните полезные выражения:
Обратите внимание на отсутствие предлога в выражении «near here».
Как подсказать дорогу на английском
Следующий этап – понять, что нам сказал собеседник и какой путь он вам указал. А также при помощи следующих фраз вы сами сможете подсказать дорогу на английском языке.
Фразы для указания направления движения на английском:
Go straight on. | Идите прямо. |
Go along Park Street. | Идите по Парк Стрит (вдоль Парк Стрит). |
Go to the end of the road. | Дойдите до конца дороги. |
Go past the church. | Идите мимо церкви. |
Go over the bridge. | Идите через мост (по мосту). |
Go under the bridge. | Пройдите под мостом. |
Go towards the square. | Идите в сторону площади. |
Turn right. | Поверните направо. |
Turn left. | Поверните налево. |
Turn right at the traffic lights. | Поверните направо на светофоре. |
Take the first left. | Первый поворот налево. |
Cross the road. | Перейдите дорогу. |
Take the bus number 12 and get off at the «Victory Street» stop. | Сядьте на автобус номер 12 и выйдите на остановке «Victory Street». |
Take the subway line 8 and go to the terminus. | Сядьте на восьмой линии метро и езжайте до конечной станции. |
Как вы уже заметили, эти фразы начинаются в основном со слов – go (идти, ехать), turn (поворачивать), take.
Также для ориентирования на местности нужно знать некоторые предлоги места и выражения:
It’s on the corner. | Это на углу. |
It’s at the end of the street. | Это в конце улицы. |
It is next to the school. | Это рядом со школой. |
It’s opposite the cinema. | Это напротив кинотеатра. |
It’s near the theatre. | Это недалеко от театра. |
It’s between the restaurant and the museum. | Это между рестораном и музеем. |
It’s on your right. | Это справа от вас. |
It’s on your left. | Это слева от вас. |
It’s on the other side of the road. | Это на другой стороне дороги. |
It’s across the street. | Это через дорогу. |
Обратите внимание на разницу между словами near и next to. Оба предлога можно перевести как – рядом.
С точки зрения расстояния near дальше, чем next to.
Как переспросить собеседника
Если собеседник говорит быстро или непонятно, или вы не успели запомнить, что вам только что сказали, переспросите собеседника, используя следующие фразы:
Sorry, could you say that again, please? | Простите, не могли бы вы повторить (сказать это снова), пожалуйста? |
Sorry, could you repeat that, please? | Простите, не могли бы вы повторить, пожалуйста? |
Could you speak more slowly, please? | Не могли бы вы говорить помедленнее, пожалуйста? |
Можно сказать еще проще – Repeat, please. Фразы в таблице составлены в более вежливой форме.
Вместо Could некоторые используют Can, когда просят о помощи, однако Could более вежливая форма, поэтому она предпочтительнее:
На самом деле, совсем необязательно знать все вопросительные фразы, так как они могут взаимозаменять друг друга и похожи по смыслу. Выберите те, которые вам легче всего запомнить.
Но направления движения лучше знать все, так как помимо того, чтобы задать вопрос, нужно понять, что вам отвечают.
А еще важно знать, как называются основные места в городе – больница, аптека, музей, театр, парковка и так далее. Тему «город» мы разберем в отдельной статье.
Пример диалога

How to Give Directions
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Subscribe: Android | RSS
You know how to ASK for directions, but what happens when an English speaker asks YOU for directions. This is not a time for small talk. Give only basic directions with short phrases. Do the best you can.
Questions you may hear
How do I get to Main Street?
Where is the closest gas station?
Can you tell me where the community centre is?
I’m looking for Jane Street.
Are you from around here?
If you know the way…
Use basic English to offer directions. Short phrases are best. Speak slowly and use very careful pronunciation. Spell out a word if necessary.
The easiest way is to… The quickest way is to…
The best way is to…
go + direction (right, left, down, up, through) take + road name turn + right/left
stay on + road name for + distance or time
Examples:
The easiest way is to go right on Commercial Avenue.
The quickest way is to take Road Number 1.
The best way is to turn right on Main Street.
Stay on Route 1 for about ten minutes.
Use transitions
Separate each leg of the route with a transition.
after that then next when you get to…go…
Offer “Ballpark Figures” (rough estimates of time or length of travel)
Some people feel better knowing how long it will take to get from A to B.
It’s just around the corner (not far). It’s not far. It’s a bit of a way. (it takes a while) It’s about a five minute walk.
It’s about a twenty minute bus ride.
Use landmarks
Tell the person what to watch for.
You will see a large clock on the right. You will pass a gas station.
It’s across from the blue church.
More useful language It’s on + street name It’s across from It’s opposite It’s near
It’s around the corner from
Offer warnings Stay in the right lane. It’s a very busy road. It’s a big hill. (if they are walking or on a bike) There might be construction. If you pass the … you went too far.
There’s no parking.
Repeat yourself
If YOU repeat the directions again, the other person will feel more confident. Repeat important details including street names and turns. You can also ask the other person to repeat the directions back to you.
If you are in the car with the driver…
Give a lot of warning.
Turn right at the next street Get in the left lane. Go one more block. Then turn right. At the next traffic lights turn…
It’s going to be on your right.
Clarify
Make sure that the other person understood your directions. Say: “Did you get all that?”
If you don’t know the way…
Don’t guess! Don’t just shake your head and walk away. Use one of these phrases:
I’m sorry, I’m not from here. I’m afraid I can’t help you.
Sorry I don’t know my way around here.
Offer another solution You could ask the bus driver. Ask the front desk clerk. Follow me. I’ll show you the way.
Do you want me to draw you a map?
“Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.”
(Alice in Wonderland)

— Тогда вам нужно в Союзный ирландский банк, что возле местного торгового центра Даннес.
Visitor: How do I get there? I have no knowledge of this area.
— Как мне туда попасть? Я не знаю этот район.
Policeman: Cross the road and turn left at the other side. Walk along the footpath until you reach the traffic lights. You will see a shopping centre on the right hand side. Walk across the road and turn right after the shopping centre. Keep going straight for about 100m and the bank is to your left.
— Перейдите через дорогу и поверните налево. Идите по тротуару до светофора. Вы увидите торговый центр по правой стороне. Перейдите через дорогу и поверните направо за торговым центром. Пройдите прямо около 100 метров и банк будет справа от вас.
Visitor: It sounds very complicated. How far is it from here?
— Звучит очень сложно. Это далеко?
Policeman: It’s not so complicated. It’s about five minutes walk from here. I can draw a map for you if you wish.
— Это не так сложно. Путь отсюда займет около пяти минут. Я могу нарисовать карту для вас, если хотите.
Visitor: Oh, I would really appreciate the way will I be going North or South?
— О, это было бы замечательно! Кстати, мне нужно идти на север или на юг?
Policeman: You will be going northwards. You are now in the Western part of the city and the Allied Irish Bank is situated in the North East. Here’s a rough sketch of the area.
— Вам нужно на север. Вы находитесь в западной части города, а банк находиться в северо-восточной.
Clerk: All right. The bellman will take your bags up for you.
— Хорошо. Коридорный занесет ваш багаж наверх.
Bill: Oh, we’d like to do some shopping this afternoon. Could you give us some advice on where the best place to go might be?
— Мы бы хотели сделать некоторые покупки сегодня. Не дадите ли вы совет, где может находиться лучшее место для этого?
Clerk: Sure. There’s a gift shop here in the hotel, and a tobacco shop, and we’re in the business district, so you can reach the city’s best stores on foot. Did you want to shop for clothing or what?
— Конечно. В отеле есть магазин подарков и сувениров, табачный магазин, и, так как мы находимся в деловом районе, вы можете дойти до лучших магазинов пешком. Какой магазин вам нужен? Магазин одежда или что-нибудь еще?
Bill: Yes, we’d like to shop for both men’s and women’s clothes and shoes, and maybe cookware, too.
— Да, мы хотим приобрести мужскую и женскую одежду и обувь и, возможно, кухонную утварь.
Clerk: All right, when you leave the hotel, turn left. You’ll be heading south. Two blocks down the street is a very nice department store called Nordstrom’s. Three blocks farther there are two shoe stores, and one block east there is a cookware shop called Kitchen Kaboodle.
— Ладно. Когда выйдете из отеля поверните налево. Вы будете смотреть на юг. Двумя кварталами ниже по улице находиться хороший магазин называемый Нордстрем. Тремя кварталами далее находятся два обувных магазина, и одним кварталом восточнее магазин посуды Китчен Кабудл.
Bill: I’d also be interested in a bookstore, and a game or toy store.
— Я бы посетил еще книжный магазин, и магазин игрушек.
— Хм. книжный магазин находится на углу 8-ой и Сильвер стрит, западнее Нодстрема. Я не уверен, продают ли они игрушки. Есть еще импортный магазин вверх по улице, в квартале отсюда. Они должны продавать и кухонную утварь. И потом, вы всегда можете пойти в Бевертон Молл. Это торговый центр в пяти милях отсюда.
Bill: Okay, thanks a lot.
— Хорошо, большое спасибо.
— Excuse me, can you tell me where Bogdanovich Street is, please?
— Простите, подскажите пожалуйста, где находиться улица Богдановича?
— Take the second turn on the left, and then ask again.
— Поверните на втором повороте налево, и потом спросите снова.
