喂，我快到你家附近了，可是有点找不到路。
wéi, wǒ kuài dào nǐ jiā fùjìn le, kěshì yǒudiǎn zhǎo bú dào lù.
Hello, I'm almost near your place, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding the way.
W
没事，你现在在哪儿？周围能看到什么？
méishì, nǐ xiànzài zài nǎr? zhōuwéi néng kàn dào shénme?
No problem, where are you now? What can you see around you?

我站在一个地铁站出口这儿，旁边有一家银行。
wǒ zhàn zài yí ge dìtiě zhàn chūkǒu zhèr, pángbiān yǒu yì jiā yínháng.
I'm standing right at a subway station exit, and there's a bank next to it.
W
哦，那个地方我知道，你是从A出口出来的吗？
ò, nàge dìfang wǒ zhīdào, nǐ shì cóng A chūkǒu chūlái de ma?
Oh, I know that place. Did you come out of Exit A?
L
对，是A出口，我前面还有个红绿灯。
duì, shì A chūkǒu, wǒ qiánmiàn hái yǒu ge hónglǜdēng.
Yes, it's Exit A, and there's a traffic light in front of me.
W
好，那你先过红绿灯，然后一直往前走。
hǎo, nà nǐ xiān guò hónglǜdēng, ránhòu yìzhí wǎng qián zǒu.
Okay, then first cross the traffic light, and then keep walking straight ahead.
L
要走多远啊？走到哪儿再拐弯？
yào zǒu duō yuǎn a? zǒu dào nǎr zài guǎiwān?
How far do I need to walk? Where should I turn?
W
大概走两百米，看到一个超市，就在那儿往右拐。
dàgài zǒu liǎng bǎi mǐ, kàn dào yí ge chāoshì, jiù zài nàr wǎng yòu guǎi.
Walk about two hundred meters, you'll see a supermarket, and turn right right there.
L
往右拐以后呢？你住的那栋楼在哪儿？
wǎng yòu guǎi yǐhòu ne? nǐ zhù de nà dòng lóu zài nǎr?
And after I turn right? Where is the building you live in?
W
拐进去走一小段，看到一个绿色大门的小区，那就是我家。
guǎi jìnqù zǒu yì xiǎo duàn, kàn dào yí ge lǜsè dàmén de xiǎoqū, nà jiùshì wǒ jiā.
After you turn in, walk a short stretch, and when you see a residential complex with a green gate, that's my place.
L
明白了，那我进小区以后,怎么找你住的楼？
míngbái le, nà wǒ jìn xiǎoqū yǐhòu, zěnme zhǎo nǐ zhù de lóu?
Got it. So after I enter the complex, how do I find your building?
W
这样吧，你到门口给我打电话，我下去接你。
zhèyàng ba, nǐ dào ménkǒu gěi wǒ dǎ diànhuà, wǒ xiàqù jiē nǐ.
Let's do this, call me when you get to the gate, and I'll come down to meet you.
