I love travelling in the country, but I dont like losing my way.
I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.
Im going to Woodford Green, I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, but I dont know where it is.
Ill 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.
Youll 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 doesnt matter, I said. Ill get off here.
Were 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。
