I love traveling 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.

Lesson 50 Taken for a ride 乘车兜风
标题taken 前省略了I was。作为非正式用 语take someone for a ride意为 “欺骗某人 （尤指想从某人那儿骗钱）”。所以，这 个题目也可译作 “上了一当”。
【New words and expressions】
4、‘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.‟



Conductor 是在这里是 “售票员” 的意思，它也 可以用来表示 “音乐指挥”。 get on与 get off为一对反义词，分别表示“（从 汽车等上）下来”和“登上（汽车、火车等）”， on与off既可以作副词又可以作介词： where it is 注意单词的连读，音标以元音音标结 尾，字母以“re”或“er”结尾的，会与下一个元音 之间加“r”这个音。
