I love travelling in the country, but I don't like losing my way.

我喜欢在乡间旅行，但却不愿意迷路。

I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.

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。

"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."

“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。”

"I'll tell you where to get off." answered the conductor.

“我来告诉您在哪儿下车，”售票员回答说。

I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.

我坐在汽车的前部，以便饱览农村风光。

After some time, the bus stopped.

过了一些时候，车停了。

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

我环视了一下身旁，惊奇地发现车里就只剩我一个乘客了。

"You'll have to get off here," the conductor said. "This is as far as we go."

“您得在这里下车，”售票员说，“我们的车就到此为止了。”

"Is this Woodford Green?" I asked.

“这里是伍德福德草地吗？”我问道。

"Oh dear," said the conductor suddenly. "I forgot to put you off."

“哎呀，”售票员突然说，“我忘了让您下车了。”

"It doesn't matter," I said. "I'll get off here."

“没关系，”我说，“我就在这儿下吧。”

"We're going back now," said the conductor.

“我们现在要返回去，”售票员说。

"Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus," I answered.

“好吧，既然如此，我还是留在车上吧。”我回答说。
