Get around; あちこちに移動する
People in the city get around in subways and taxis. そこの市民は地下鉄やタクシーで移動している。
I arrived for my meeting at the headquarters of Woon Enterprises and I
stopped at the kiosk to ask for directions. It’s a huge organization
and the offices are located on a 30-acre compound, so it’s very hard
to find your way around without some help.
Guard: Good morning.
Edyta: Good morning. I’m here for a meeting with Mark
Johnson. Could you tell me how to get to the right building?
Guard: Sure. Take this road and follow the bend
to the right. When you see the fork in the road, take the road on your
right. Follow that to the parking structure. You can’t miss
it.
bend:
カーブ
fork in the road 分かれ道
Edyta: Okay, so when the road splits, I should
veer right.
veer :
進行方向を変える、曲がる
Guard: That’s right. Here’s a guest parking
permit. Make sure it’s visible on your dash at all times.
Drive past the lot and go into the parking structure. You can park on
any level and in any space that isn’t reserved. The
building right next to the structure is where Mark Johnson’s office
is.
Edyta: Thanks, I think I’ve got all that.
The guard raised the arm of the gate and let me
through. As I drove through the huge compound to the parking structure, I
couldn’t help thinking that this Woon must be one very successful
businessman.
