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?'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, "但我不知道它在哪儿. "

"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.
