“Sweetie, the Internet is like a giant 地图 (map | dìtú),” the grandfather explained to his young granddaughter. “It helps us find 路线 (routes | lùxiàn) to different places. Imagine using it to plan a 目的地 (destination | mùdìdì) for a trip, or to figure out how to take 公共交通 (public transportation | gōnggòng jiāotōng), like 公交车 (buses | gōngjiāochē) or 地铁 (subway | dìtiě). Just like checking the 时间表 (schedule | shíjiānbiǎo) for a 火车 (train | huǒchē), the Internet guides us on our journey, whether we’re 步行 (walking | bùxíng) or 自行车 (cycling | zìxíngchē), and even helps us find places to stay and 景点 (scenic spots | jǐngdiǎn) to visit.
