　donny 在北京學(xué)漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是瓊燕要問的：路癡。

　　donny: hey瓊燕！ you went hiking over the weekend, right? how was it?

　　qy: the view was breathtaking! 我跟朋友去了一個國家公園，可氣的是，我們都是路癡，走錯了好幾回，1個小時的路足足走了3個小時！i'm such a road idiot.。。

　　donny: road idiot? (詭異的笑) that's not how we say it! you can say, i have no sense of direction.

　　qy: 哦，direction 是方向，所以no sense of direction 就是沒有方向感 - 路癡啦！

　　donny: right! people with no sense of direction can easily get lost. 路癡經(jīng)常迷路。

　　qy: 這說的不就是我么？下禮拜我們要開車去南京，一定又會迷路……哎，donny, 你原來是不是在南京住過？

　　donny: yep! i lived in nanjing for 3 years. i know that city like the back of my hand.

　　qy: like the back of your hand? 了如指掌？

　　donny: exactly! it basically means that i know nanjing really well. you can also say: i know every nook and cranny of nanjing.

　　qy: wait! every nook and cranny? nook 一定是 n-o-o-k, 那 cranny 要怎么拼呢？

　　donny: cranny is spelled c-r-a-n-n-y. when people say "every nook and cranny," they're talking about every tiny corner and out-of-the-way place.

　　qy: 我明白了， every nook and cranny 就是所有邊邊角角，犄角旮旯。對了，既然你對南京這么熟，你一定要跟我們?nèi)�！這樣我們就不會走丟了。

　　donny: sure! i'd love to go back! now let's see what you've learned today!
