Lesson 50 Taken for a ride乘车兜风 定语 状语

First listen and then answer the question: Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?

I love traveling 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,“但我不知道它在哪儿。”

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

“我会告诉您在哪儿下车,”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 around, 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。

Looking round 使用doing的词组修饰整个句子做状语,主动(请看上一课的推演)。

to do 目的doing 主动done 被动
修饰名词 =定语、修饰句子 =状语可以采用:就近修饰(知道修饰了什么才能看懂内容)、意思搭配的排除法、标点辅助等。
to do 不定式:主语、宾语、宾语补足语等,起到名词、形容词或副词的作用。如果-ing / -ed 做宾补, 与宾语有关: I find the door locked. (locked 被动,门被锁)
非谓语动词(to do不定式、动名词doing或过去分词done)做状语, 这个动作必然与主句主语有关:动名词 doing 与主句主语构成主动关系而现在分词done与主句主语构成被动关系及 动词不定式 to do 与主句主语构成目的关系如果非谓语动词做定语, 只与被修饰词相关, 与主语无关。

Q:Where did the writer want to go? Did he know the way or not? What did the conductor promise to do?

A: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.
(but as) “but as” 并不是并列短语, 两者连在一起仅仅是巧合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”。
