我问一个去

[roddy]

When I was out last night someone stopped me and asked me directions ( he looked pretty suprised when he then realised I was foreign and even more so when I said 一直到北太平庄，然后左拐) .

Anyway, when he started asking his question I think he said something like 我问一个去 - I could be wrong as I was concentrating on where he actually wanted to go - but that's what it sounded like. I've never heard that phrase before, does it sound possible? Sounds strange to me, but Chinese often does. 'I ask a go' for 'can you tell me how to get to . . .?'

Is this possible, or did I mishear?

中国人问路似乎最多的一句话是：

（你好，师傅／小姐）

我问一个，去。。。怎么走？

刚才猛一看roddy的post觉得很奇怪，回想一下后，觉得实际情况确实是这样。

我问一个，去。。。怎么走？

我问一个，请问去。。怎么走？

这两句确实是使用最多的问路的话。

我想学中文的书本上可能只有“请问去。。。怎么走”等例子。而没有“我问一个”。这可能就是口语吧。

anyway，“我问一个”在中国人问路中确实很常见。

well, since I grew up in Guangzhou, I've never heard of it being used. I guess it's like the Cantonese -- 借问声，嗰度点去。

I always start with -

不好意思, 請問(一下) ...

[roddy]

ah . . .

must have been 我问一个， 去 。 。 。

That makes more sense. Thankyou

对了，我想起来了，可能这样的说法更多：

“你好，我问一下，去。。。怎么走？”

有时候是“我问一个”，呵呵，写出来是觉得有点奇怪，但是确实有这种说法。

这样可能更规范些：“你好，请问去。。。怎么走？”

never heard of "我问一个"

[cuthbert]

我问一个（问题）。

[pazu]

我也沒有聽過「我問一個」, 唔……

在北京街頭上, 人家是這樣問我的: 「怎麼去東直門?」

直接, 不加修飾……

I think he may ask "我问一个去处"

“去处” means "a place"

[BeijingSlacker]

I would guess it was actually something like"我想问一下儿去％￥◎ 怎么走“
