Question

一篇初中阅读理解

Two Englishmen were in Boston for a visit. One morning they went out to look for a famous church, but they didn't know how to get there. They stopped a man and asked.

“Excuse me, can you tell us the way to the North Church?”

“Go three blocks and turn to your left.”he said, “You can't miss it.”

So the Englishmen walked three blocks and turned to their left, but they didn't see any church. They then asked a second man.

“Excuse me, but we�re trying to find the North Church.”

This one said,“Go three blocks and turn to your left.”

But again they couldn't find the church. In the end they asked a third man, “Excuse me, could you tell us how to get to the North Church, please?”

“Go three blocks and turn to your left. You can't miss it. ”

They walked three blocks and turned to their left for a third time. This time they found the church.

“Is everything in Boston three blocks and a left turn ?” they asked themselves.

Just then a man walked over to them.“Excuse me,”the man said, “Where is the East Park? Can you tell me?”

“Go three blocks and turn to your left.” one of Englishmen said, “You can't miss it.”

难句注释

“Is everything in Boston three blocks and a left turn ?”

“在波士顿到每个地方都是走三个街区，然后向左拐吗？”

请问：这是怎么回事？他们为什么要连续走三次三个街区并拐三个弯？是被捉弄了吗？
拜托高人解释清楚了
我问的不是文章的翻译
另外二楼的解释肯定吗？

Answer 1

呵呵，我以前看过这篇，其实是幽默带点小讽刺，意思是说当地人也并不清楚路到底怎么走，只是别人问路，他们习惯于说"Go three blocks and turn to your left"

Answer 2

没有什么复杂的，就是这里的人被问路的时候信口开河给的答案。

好比你问一个美国人从这里走到另外一个地方要走多久，他根本没有概念，无论多远都跟你讲走15分钟就够了。

Answer 4

不好意思我弄错了，以为是要解释。
肯定是美国人随口一说，他们自己也不知道吧。也不一定是被捉弄了。这是个小故事，没多少深意的。

两个英国佬在波士顿玩，一天早上他们出去找一个著名的教堂，但是他们不知道怎么走。他们拦住一个人，问
“您好，能告诉我怎么去NORTH 教堂吗”
“过三个街区，然后向左转，不会错过的”那人说。
两个英国佬照做了，但是没看见任何教堂。
所以他们又问一个人。“您好我们想照north教堂”
“过三个街区，然后向左转”那人说。
他们又没找到。所以他们又问第三个人“能告诉我们north教堂怎么走吗”
“过三个街区，然后向左转，不会错过的”
他们又照做了，还是什么都没发现。
“在波士顿到每个地方都是走三个街区，然后向左拐吗”他们心想。
恰巧那时有个人向他们走来，问道“能告诉我怎么去east公园吗？”
“过三个街区，然后向左转，不会错过的”他们回答道。
