【Text】
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.
forget'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.
参考译⽂
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, “但我不知道它在哪⼉. “
“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.

弗雷德表兄”。

【Summry writing】
1 Where did the writer want to go? Did he know the way or not? What did the conductor promise to do? (but as)
“but as” 并不是并列短语, 两者连在⼀起仅仅是巧合
The writer wanted to go to Woodfast Green but as he did not know the way, the conductor promised to tell him where to get off.
第⼀句和第⼆句之间是 “but” 关系, 第⼆句和第三句之间为 “as” 关系, 所以产⽣ “but as”
