Sorry, I interrupted you. So, the bookshop’s on Broad Street...

The bookshop is on the corner of Broad Street and Elizabeth Avenue. It's on your right as you head east along Elizabeth Avenue.

So on the right along Elizabeth Avenue. I see. Nice. Cheers. Um, what about the students' canteen? I'm starving.

Have you registered at the Students’ Union Office yet?

I've done any of the paperwork yet. It shouldn't take long, should it?

Hmmm.Not if you've got all your documents. First, you have to go to the University Registration Office.

Is that near the bookshop?

You should be so lucky! Actually it's not far. Go up Broad Street, turn right along Main Street, and carry straight on, over Hogie Road and you will see it on the left. There's a huge sign.

OK, so it’s up Broad Street, right along Main Street, and then I carry straight on, over Hogie road and I'll see it on the left, at the sign. So, I register there, and then I go to the canteen for lunch?

Not so fast! Then you've got to take your universtity registration form to the Students’ Union Office, which in an ideal world, would be

just around (on) the corner from the University Office...

Nice -- that's handy.

...but this is the real world (word),

这里又是理想世界,又是实现世界的, 这种幽默是不是有什么套路啊? 否则,真叫人搞不懂..文化差异真是巨大阿...

so you go back (by) west along (the long) Main Street, ...oh no, actually go south down Hogie Road and turn right after Georgetown Square. That's sort of a park. Loads of people have their lunch there if it's not too cold. Anyway, after the square, turn right onto Elizabeth Avenue and you will see the Student Office on your left, opposite the square. It's halfway along Elizabeth Avenue.

Cool, so I can get lunch vouchers there?

Hold your hourses (Oh, you whole says)! You have to register with the Students’ Union, then go and get your lunch vouchers at the Students’ Union Shop.

Don't tell me. It's in another solar system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, it's not quite that bad, so you can leave (live) your spaceship at home.

这种幽默有什么典故吗? 如果不是, 外国人家讲话都喜欢这么搞怪的吗?

A bick’s a good idea -- there's second hand bike shop on the southwest corner of Main Street and Broad Street. Really cheap.

Cool. Corner of Main Street and Broad Street.

That's it. Anyway, to get to the Students’ Union Shop, just go out of the Students’ Union Office, go north right across (radical) the square - there’s a path (pass) -- and the Union Shop’s over the road on Main Street.

So, I buy my tickets there, and the canteen’s just around the corner?

Not quite. The Canteen is on Hogie Road, over the road from the southeast corner of Georgetown Square. It's on the corner of Elizabeth Avenue and Hogie Road.
