Take for a ride


原文

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.


译文

我喜欢去乡间旅游,但是我怕迷路。我最近经历一次短暂的旅行,但是这段旅程所花费的时间远远超出我的想象。“我要去伍福德草地,”在我坐上公汽的时候向售票员说道,“但是我不知道在那下车。” “我到时候会提醒你下车的,”售票员回答到。“我坐在公汽的前部,哪里能看到美好的乡村风景。过了一段时间之后,公汽停住了。我四周看了看,我发现这个车上就只有我一个乘客没有下车。“你必须在这个地方下车了,”售票员说到。“这个是我们的终点站。” “这里是伍福德草地吗?”我问道。“噢,天呀,”售票员突然说道,“我忘记叫你下车了。” “没有事情,”我说道。“我就在这里下车吧。” “我们现在要返程了,”售票员说道。 “那样更好,我想我还是继续坐公汽吧,”我回达到。
