师傅，您好，我要去市第一人民医院。
shīfu, nín hǎo, wǒ yào qù shì dì yī rénmín yīyuàn.
Driver, hello, I'd like to go to the First People's Hospital.
Z
好的，那走高速比较快，行吗？
hǎo de, nà zǒu gāosù bǐjiào kuài, xíng ma?
Okay, taking the highway would be faster then—is that alright?
L
别走高速，这个点儿高速肯定堵，咱们走市区吧。
bié zǒu gāosù, zhège diǎnr gāosù kěndìng dǔ, zánmen zǒu shìqū ba.
Don't take the highway—at this hour it's definitely jammed. Let's go through the city instead.
Z
行，那您给我指指路，市区这边我不太熟。
xíng, nà nín gěi wǒ zhǐzhi lù, shìqū zhèbiān wǒ bú tài shú.
Sure, then please guide me a bit—I'm not too familiar with this part of downtown.
L
没问题，您先一直往前开，到前面那个路口往左拐。
méi wèntí, nín xiān yìzhí wǎng qián kāi, dào qiánmiàn nàge lùkǒu wǎng zuǒ guǎi.
No problem. Keep driving straight first, and turn left at that intersection up ahead.
Z
您说的是有红绿灯的那个路口吗？
nín shuō de shì yǒu hónglǜdēng de nàge lùkǒu ma?
Do you mean the intersection with the traffic light?
L
对，就是那个，左拐以后沿着那条大路一直往前走。
duì, jiùshì nàge, zuǒ guǎi yǐhòu yánzhe nà tiáo dà lù yìzhí wǎng qián zǒu.
Yes, that's the one. After turning left, keep going straight along that main road.
Z
明白了，那大概还得走多远？
míngbai le, nà dàgài hái děi zǒu duō yuǎn?
Got it. So roughly how much farther do we need to go?
L
不远了，再过两个路口，医院就在右手边。
bù yuǎn le, zài guò liǎng gè lùkǒu, yīyuàn jiù zài yòushǒubiān.
Not far now—after two more intersections, the hospital is right there on the right.
Z
好，前面有个学校，我开慢点儿。
hǎo, qiánmiàn yǒu gè xuéxiào, wǒ kāi màn diǎnr.
Alright, there's a school up ahead, so I'll drive a bit slower.
L
对，麻烦您停在门诊楼门口就行，谢谢啦。
duì, máfan nín tíng zài ménzhěnlóu ménkǒu jiù xíng, xièxie la.
Right, please just stop at the entrance of the outpatient building—thanks so much.
Z
好嘞，到了，一共二十八块，祝您一切顺利。
hǎo lei, dào le, yígòng èrshíbā kuài, zhù nín yíqiè shùnlì.
Alright, here we are. That's twenty-eight yuan in total. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
