Lesson 50
Taken for a ride
乘车兜风
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?
I love travelling in the country, but I don't like losing my way.
I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.
"I'm going to Woodford Green," I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, "but I don't know where it is."
"I'll tell you where to get off." answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
"You'll have to get off here," the conductor said. "This is as far as we go."
"Is this Woodford Green?" I asked.
"Oh dear," said the conductor suddenly. "I forgot to put you off."
"It doesn't matter," I said. "I'll get off here."
"We're going back now," said the conductor.
"Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus," I answered.
参考译文：
我喜欢在乡间旅行，但却不愿意迷路。最近我作了一次短途旅行，但这次旅行所花费的时间比我预计的要长。
“我要去伍德福德草地，”我一上车就对售票员说，“但我不知道它在那儿。”
“我来告诉您在哪儿下车，”售票员回答说。
我坐在汽车的前部，以便饱览农村风光。过了一些时候，车停了。我环视了一下身旁，惊奇地发现车里就只剩我一个乘客了。
“您得在这里下车，”售票员说，“我们的车就到此为止了。”
“这里是伍德福德草地吗？”我问道。
“哎呀，”售票员突然说，“我忘了让您下车了。”
“没关系，”我说，“我就在这儿下吧。”
“我们现在要返回去，”售票员说。
“好吧，既然如此，我还是留在车上吧。”我回答说。
