Taken for a ride
　　乘车兜风
　　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。
