Using a Road Map

使用道路地图
After filling up with gas at the gas station, Kathy and Evan continue their drive from the Netherlands into Germany.
E:Did I get back on the main road? This doesn't look like a highway.
K:Uh-oh. Are we lost?
E:I don't know. Take the map of the Netherlands out of the glove compartment, and we'll take a look. I'll pull over here.
K:Sure. Here.
E:Let's see. We just passed this town here and we're heading east.
K:How do you know that?
E:By the sun.
K:Aw, come on. You can't really tell directions from the sun, can you?
E:And the time. So, if we go a little further down this road, we can hook up with the main highway going east into Germany.
K:Are you sure?
E:As sure as shootin'. Then we head for Bremen, then Hamburg, then Denmark. We'll be in Hamburg by nightfall. We can stay in a motel overnight, then continue on to Copenhagen tomorrow. How does lunch tomorrow in Copenhagen sound?
K:Fantastic!

在加油站加满汽油后，凯西和艾凡继续从荷兰开车进入德国。
艾凡：我有没有把车开回主要道路上？这条道路看起来不太像是一条高速公路。
凯西：糟了。我们迷路了吗？
艾凡：我不知道。从前面的杂物柜中拿出荷兰的地图来看看吧。我把车停到路边。
凯西：好啊。挪，地图在这儿。
艾凡：我看看。我们刚刚经过这个城镇，现在正往东行驶。
凯西：你怎么知道我们往东呢？
艾凡：根据太阳来判断。
凯西：噢，得了吧。你没办法完全靠太阳来判别方向吧，是不是？
艾凡：还有时间。所以，如果我们再继续开一小段路，就可以通到往东进入德国的主要高速公路上了。
凯西：你确定吗？
艾凡：非常确定。然后我们开往不来梅，接下去是汉堡市，然后进入丹麦。在入夜时，我们会到汉堡市。我们可以在一家汽车旅馆过夜，然后明天再继续出发到哥本哈根。明天中午在哥本哈根用餐，你觉得怎么样呢？
凯西：太棒了！
