Donny 在北京學(xué)漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是瓊燕要問的：路癡。

Donny: Hey瓊燕! You went hiking over the weekend, right? How was it?

QY: The view was breathtaking! 我跟朋友去了一個國家公園，可氣的是，我們都是路癡，走錯了好幾回，1個小時的路足足走了3個小時！I'm such a road idiot...

Donny: Road idiot? (詭異的笑) That's not how we say it! You can say, I have no sense of direction.

QY: 這說的不就是我么？下禮拜我們要開車去南京，一定又會迷路....哎，Donny, 你原來是不是在南京住過？

Donny: Yep! I lived in Nanjing for 3 years. I know that city like the back of my hand.

QY: Like the back of your hand? 了如指掌？

Donny: Exactly! It basically means that I know Nanjing really well. You can also say: I know every nook and cranny of Nanjing.

QY: Wait! Every nook and cranny? nook 一定是 n-o-o-k, 那 cranny 要怎么拼呢？

Donny: Cranny is spelled c-r-a-n-n-y. When people say "every nook and cranny," they're talking about every tiny corner and out-of-the-way place.

QY: 我明白了， every nook and cranny 就是所有邊邊角角，犄角旮旯。對了，既然你對南京這么熟，你一定要跟我們?nèi)ィ∵@樣我們就不會走丟了。

Donny: Sure! I'd love to go back! Now let's see what you've learned today!

QY: 第一：形容路癡可以說：somebody has no sense of direction;
