Lesson 50 Taken for a ride

乘车兜风

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.

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。

4、I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, 'but I don't know where it is.'

as这里是“随着”的意思，不可用when或while替换。

where it is注意单词的连读，音标以元音音标结尾，以"-re"或"-er"结尾的，与下一个元音之间加"r"这个音。

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

① where to get off是“特殊疑问词+不定式短语”结构。该结构相当于名词从句，常在decide, explain, know, learn, remember, , show, teach tell, wonder等动词后作宾语。

Can you tell me what I should do? = Can you tell me what to do? 你能告诉我该做什么吗？ Can you tell me how I can get there?=Can you tell me how to get there?你能告诉我怎样到那？ I don't know which to choose.我不知道选择哪个。

② 不定式短语to get a good view of the countryside作目的状语。

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

现在分词短语looking around作状语，相当于时间状语从句when I was looking around的省略。 连词that引导宾语从句I was the only passenger left on the bus，中间插入了介词短语with a shock作状语。

过去分词left作定语修饰passenger，通常后置，相当于定语从句who was left的省略。

8、This is as far as we go.

10、Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus.

① well单独使用时通常为感叹词，有时表示同意、顺从、踌躇等情感，有时则仅起连接作用，相当于汉语的“嗯、噢、喔”等。

② in that/this case既然那样；假如那样的话；在那种情况下

In that case, how should I respond? 在这种情况下，我该如何回应？

And in that case, you have the opposite result.在那种情况下，你有相反的结果。
