你好，不好意思打扰一下，请问去外滩坐几号线啊？
nǐ hǎo, bù hǎo yìsi dǎrǎo yíxià, qǐngwèn qù Wàitān zuò jǐ hào xiàn a?
Hello, sorry to bother you, may I ask which subway line goes to the Bund?
L
去外滩的话，你坐二号线或者十号线都可以。
qù Wàitān de huà, nǐ zuò èr hào xiàn huòzhě shí hào xiàn dōu kěyǐ.
If you're going to the Bund, you can take either Line 2 or Line 10.
M
那这两条线，哪条更方便一点？
nà zhè liǎng tiáo xiàn, nǎ tiáo gèng fāngbiàn yìdiǎn?
Then between these two lines, which one is a bit more convenient?
L
那要看你现在在哪儿了，你附近是哪个站？
nà yào kàn nǐ xiànzài zài nǎr le, nǐ fùjìn shì nǎge zhàn?
That depends on where you are now—which station is near you?
M
我现在就在人民广场站这儿。
wǒ xiànzài jiù zài Rénmín Guǎngchǎng zhàn zhèr.
I'm right here near People's Square Station now.
L
那太好了，你直接坐二号线就行，坐往浦东那个方向。
nà tài hǎo le, nǐ zhíjiē zuò èr hào xiàn jiù xíng, zuò wǎng Pǔdōng nàge fāngxiàng.
Great, then you can just take Line 2, heading toward Pudong.
M
那从人民广场到外滩，一共要坐几站啊？
nà cóng Rénmín Guǎngchǎng dào Wàitān, yígòng yào zuò jǐ zhàn a?
So from People's Square to the Bund, how many stops in total?
L
很近，就一站，到南京东路站下车就到了。
hěn jìn, jiù yí zhàn, dào Nánjīng Dōnglù zhàn xià chē jiù dào le.
It's very close, just one stop—get off at Nanjing East Road Station and you're there.
M
才一站啊，那出了站还要走很远吗？
cái yí zhàn a, nà chū le zhàn hái yào zǒu hěn yuǎn ma?
Only one stop! Then do I still have to walk far after exiting the station?
L
不远，从二号口出来往东走，五分钟左右就到江边了。
bù yuǎn, cóng èr hào kǒu chūlái wǎng dōng zǒu, wǔ fēnzhōng zuǒyòu jiù dào jiāngbiān le.
Not far—come out of Exit 2 and walk east, and in about five minutes you'll reach the riverside.
M
太谢谢你了，你说得很清楚，我这就去坐地铁。
tài xièxie nǐ le, nǐ shuō de hěn qīngchu, wǒ zhè jiù qù zuò dìtiě.
Thank you so much, you explained it very clearly—I'll go take the subway right now.
L
不客气，祝你在外滩玩得开心！
bú kèqi, zhù nǐ zài Wàitān wán de kāixīn!
You're welcome—have a great time at the Bund!
