[미국영어] 영어회화: 택시 타기, “힐튼 호텔 가주세요”
에 대해 리뷰하려고 합니다.
영미권에서 택시 타기는 목적지를 말하는 것에 집중하면, 다른 이슈는 별로 없을 듯 합니다.
영어로 택시 기사에게 목적지를 말하는 패턴은 주로 목적지를 정확히 말하고, 아예 적혀있는 주소를 명확히 알려주어야 하겠지요.
“To + 목적지, please”
“I need to go to + 목적지”
“Can you take me to + 목적지 ?”
“Will you drop me off + 목적지 ?”
기본표현: “Could you please take me to ~ ” / “I’d like to go to ~ ”
“Excuse me,
could you please take me to
the Hilton Hotel?”
“실례합니다, 힐튼 호텔로 가주세요.”
”
I need to go to
the Hilton Hotel. Can you take me there?”
“힐튼 호텔로 가야 해요. 거기로 데려다 주시겠어요?”
”
Please drive me to
the Hilton Hotel, thank you.”
“힐튼 호텔로 가주세요, 감사합니다.”
”
Could you drop me off
at the Hilton Hotel, please?”
“힐튼 호텔에서 내려주세요, 부탁합니다.”
”
I’d like to go to
the Hilton Hotel. How much will it cost?”
“힐튼 호텔로 가고 싶어요. 얼마나 드나요?”
회화패턴: “Can you take me to ~ ?” / “I want to head toward ~ ”

can you take me to the Hilton Hotel?
Driver: Of course. Is this your first time in the city?
Passenger: Yes, it is.
Driver: Welcome! The Hilton is a great hotel. Do you have any preferred route or should I take the usual one?
Passenger: Please take the quickest route. I’m a bit jet-lagged and want to get to the hotel as soon as possible.
Driver: I understand. We will take the highway and be there in no time. If you have any questions about the city, feel free to ask me.
Passenger: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Conversation Set 2:
Passenger: Hi there,
to the Sheraton Hotel, please?
Driver: Absolutely. Have you been to the city before?
Passenger: Yes, I have, but I’m not very familiar with the area around the hotel.
Driver: No problem. We will take the scenic route so you can see some of the landmarks on the way. Is that okay with you?
Passenger: Yes, please. I would love to see more of the city.
Driver: Great! We will pass by the Old Town and the Riverfront on our way to the hotel. If you have any questions about the sights, let me know.
Passenger: Thank you, that sounds wonderful.
Conversation Set 3:
Passenger: Good morning,
I want to head toward the Marriott Hotel.
Driver: Sure thing. Would you like me to take the usual route or do you have any specific requests?
Passenger: Please take the usual route. I’ve been to the hotel before and know the area well.
Driver: Alright. Is there anything in particular you’d like me to know about the hotel’s location?
Passenger: Yes, actually. The entrance is on the side street, not the main road. So please drop me off there instead.
Driver: Thanks for letting me know. I will take you to the side entrance as requested. If there’s anything else I can do for you, just ask. Passenger: No, that’s all. Thank you very much.
