Lesson 50
Taken for a ride乘車兜風(fēng)
First listen and then answer the question.聽錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
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.

我喜歡在鄉(xiāng)間旅行，但卻不愿意迷路。最近我作了一次短途旅行，但這次旅行所花費(fèi)的時(shí)間比我預(yù)計(jì)的要長(zhǎng)。
“我要去伍德福德草地，”我一上車就對(duì)售票員說(shuō)，“但我不知道它在那兒?！?BR> “我來(lái)告訴您在哪兒下車，”售票員回答說(shuō)。
我坐在汽車的前部，以便飽覽農(nóng)村風(fēng)光。過(guò)了一些時(shí)候，車停了。我環(huán)視了一下身旁，驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)車?yán)锞椭皇Ｎ乙粋€(gè)乘客了。
“您得在這里下車，”售票員說(shuō)，“我們的車就到此為止了?！?BR> “這里是伍德福德草地嗎？”我問(wèn)道。
“哎呀，”售票員突然說(shuō)，“我忘了讓您下車了?！?BR> “沒(méi)關(guān)系，”我說(shuō)，“我就在這兒下吧?！?BR> “我們現(xiàn)在要返回去，”售票員說(shuō)。
“好吧，既然如此，我還是留在車上吧。”我回答說(shuō)。
