您好，请问五号站台在哪儿？
nín hǎo, qǐng wèn wǔ hào zhàntái zài nǎr?
Hello, excuse me, where is platform five?
Z
五号站台在二楼，您得先上去。
wǔ hào zhàntái zài èr lóu, nín děi xiān shàngqù.
Platform five is on the second floor; you need to go up first.

那我是走楼梯还是坐扶梯呢？
nà wǒ shì zǒu lóutī háishì zuò fútī ne?
So should I take the stairs or the escalator?
Z
两种都行，不过您行李比较多，坐扶梯会方便一些。
liǎng zhǒng dōu xíng, búguò nín xíngli bǐjiào duō, zuò fútī huì fāngbiàn yìxiē.
Both are fine, but since you have quite a lot of luggage, the escalator would be a bit more convenient.
L
好的，那扶梯往哪个方向走呢？
hǎo de, nà fútī wǎng nǎge fāngxiàng zǒu ne?
Okay, so which way do I go for the escalator?
Z
您一直往前走，看到便利店就左转。
nín yìzhí wǎng qián zǒu, kàndào biànlìdiàn jiù zuǒ zhuǎn.
Go straight ahead, and turn left when you see the convenience store.
L
左转以后就能看到扶梯了吗？
zuǒ zhuǎn yǐhòu jiù néng kàndào fútī le ma?
Will I be able to see the escalator after I turn left?
Z
对，扶梯就在您右手边，特别好找。
duì, fútī jiù zài nín yòushǒubiān, tèbié hǎo zhǎo.
Right, the escalator is on your right-hand side; it's really easy to find.
L
上了二楼以后，我怎么找五号站台呢？
shàng le èr lóu yǐhòu, wǒ zěnme zhǎo wǔ hào zhàntái ne?
After I get up to the second floor, how do I find platform five?
Z
到了二楼跟着指示牌走就行，每个站台号都标得很清楚。
dào le èr lóu gēnzhe zhǐshìpái zǒu jiù xíng, měi ge zhàntái hào dōu biāo de hěn qīngchu.
Once you're on the second floor, just follow the signs; every platform number is marked very clearly.
L
太好了，那大概几分钟能走到？
tài hǎo le, nà dàgài jǐ fēnzhōng néng zǒu dào?
Great, so roughly how many minutes will it take me to get there?
Z
五分钟左右就到了，时间来得及，您别着急。
wǔ fēnzhōng zuǒyòu jiù dào le, shíjiān láidejí, nín bié zháojí.
You'll get there in about five minutes; there's enough time, so don't worry.
