第 50 课 · 乘车兜风 Lesson 50 · Taken for a ride

我喜欢在乡间旅行,但我不喜欢迷路。

I love travelling in the country, but I don't like losing my way.

我最近去郊游了一次,但这趟旅程花的时间比我预料的要长。

I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.

"我要去伍德福德格林,"我上车时对售票员说,"但我不知道在哪里。"

'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.'

"我会告诉你在哪里下车的,"售票员回答说。

'I'll tell you where to get off.' answered the conductor.

我坐在公共汽车的前部,为了能好好欣赏乡间景色。

I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.

过了一段时间,公共汽车停了。

After some time, the bus stopped.

环顾四周,我震惊地发现自己是车上唯一剩下的乘客。

Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.

"你得在这里下车了,"售票员说,"我们就走到这里了。"

'You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.'

"这里是伍德福德格林吗?"我问道。

'Is this Woodford Green?' I asked.

"哎呀,"售票员突然说道。

'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly.

"我忘了让你下车了。"

'I forgot to put you off.'

"没关系,"我说,"我就在这里下车吧。"

'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.'

"我们现在要回去了,"售票员说。

'We're going back now,' said the conductor.

"好吧,既然如此,我宁愿留在车上,"我回答说。

'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.
