Lesson 50 Taken for a ride

Lesson50 Taken for a ride  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 are going back now,' said the conductor. 'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered. 第五十课  乘车兜风 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。
