经典背诵 Recitation
Foreigner: Hi, I am a foreigner. I've always had a bad sense of direction especially when I travel in a foreign country. One time I planned to go to Liu Lichang where there are many Chinese antique stores. But I got lost and just went to some other place in the middle of nowhere instead. Luckily, with a girl's help I got to the right place later. What a wonderful girl!

生词小结
lost adj. 迷失的

close to 离……很近

sense n. 感觉

suppose to 想做

antique n. 古董

get interested in 对......感兴趣

far away from 离……很远

straight adj. 直的 adv. 一直，笔直地

intersection n. 十字路口

注释
That's great! 这是句反语。表面上看是说“太好了”，实际则是在表达对今天坏运气的一种抱怨和不满。

It's not my day. 这句话直译为“这不是我的日子”，言下之意今天诸事不顺，一连串的坏事情发生在自己身上，喝口凉水都塞牙，真是郁闷的一天。

gonna 等同于going to
