不好意思，打扰一下，请问最近的地铁站在哪儿？
bù hǎo yìsi, dǎrǎo yíxià, qǐngwèn zuìjìn de dìtiě zhàn zài nǎr?
Excuse me, sorry to bother you, may I ask where the nearest subway station is?

最近的地铁站不远，你顺着这条路一直往前走就到了。
zuìjìn de dìtiě zhàn bù yuǎn, nǐ shùnzhe zhè tiáo lù yìzhí wǎng qián zǒu jiù dào le.
The nearest subway station isn't far. Just follow this road and keep walking straight ahead and you'll be there.

大概要走多久啊？我拉着行李箱，走得比较慢。
dàgài yào zǒu duōjiǔ a? wǒ lāzhe xínglǐxiāng, zǒu de bǐjiào màn.
About how long do I have to walk? I'm pulling a suitcase, so I walk pretty slowly.
L
你慢慢走的话，大概五六分钟就够了，真的很近。
nǐ mànman zǒu de huà, dàgài wǔ liù fēnzhōng jiù gòu le, zhēn de hěn jìn.
If you walk slowly, about five or six minutes will be enough. It's really close.

那太好了。到了前面那个路口以后，我应该往哪个方向走呢？
nà tài hǎo le. dào le qiánmiàn nàge lùkǒu yǐhòu, wǒ yīnggāi wǎng nǎge fāngxiàng zǒu ne?
That's great. After I reach that intersection up ahead, which direction should I go?
L
到路口以后往右拐，走几步就能看到地铁站的标志了。
dào lùkǒu yǐhòu wǎng yòu guǎi, zǒu jǐ bù jiù néng kàndào dìtiě zhàn de biāozhì le.
After the intersection, turn right, and in just a few steps you'll be able to see the subway station sign.

明白了，谢谢您。我想去火车站，坐地铁大概要几站？
míngbái le, xièxie nín. wǒ xiǎng qù huǒchē zhàn, zuò dìtiě dàgài yào jǐ zhàn?
Got it, thank you. I want to go to the train station—about how many stops is it by subway?
L
去火车站的话，你得坐三号线，一共四站，中间不用换车。
qù huǒchē zhàn de huà, nǐ děi zuò sān hào xiàn, yígòng sì zhàn, zhōngjiān búyòng huàn chē.
To get to the train station, you need to take Line 3—four stops in total, with no transfers in between.

那太方便了！那我买票的时候，直接买到火车站的票就可以了吧？
nà tài fāngbiàn le! nà wǒ mǎi piào de shíhou, zhíjiē mǎi dào huǒchē zhàn de piào jiù kěyǐ le ba?
That's so convenient! So when I buy a ticket, I can just buy one straight to the train station, right?
L
对，或者你直接用手机扫码进站也行，那样更方便。
duì, huòzhě nǐ zhíjiē yòng shǒujī sǎo mǎ jìn zhàn yě xíng, nàyàng gèng fāngbiàn.
Right, or you can just use your phone to scan a code to enter—that way is even more convenient.

好的，我都记住了。真的非常感谢您，帮了我大忙！
hǎo de, wǒ dōu jìzhù le. zhēn de fēicháng gǎnxiè nín, bāng le wǒ dà máng!
Okay, I've got it all memorized. Thank you so much—you've been a huge help!

不客气，祝你一路顺风！拉着行李，路上小心点儿。
bú kèqi, zhù nǐ yílù shùnfēng! lāzhe xínglǐ, lùshang xiǎoxīn diǎnr.
You're welcome, have a safe trip! With your luggage, be a little careful on the way.
