Lesson 50 Taken for a ride 时长:85s
I love traveling in the country, but I don't like losing my way.
aɪ lʌv ˈtrævlɪŋ ɪn ðə ˈkʌntri, bʌt aɪ dəʊnt laɪk ˈluːzɪŋ maɪ weɪ.
I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.
aɪ wɛnt ɒn ən ɪksˈkɜːʃən ˈriːsntli, bʌt maɪ trɪp tʊk miː ˈlɒŋgə ðæn aɪ ɪksˈpɛktɪd.
' 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.'
' aɪm ˈgəʊɪŋ tuː Woodford griːn,' aɪ sɛd tuː ðə kənˈdʌktər æz aɪ gɒt ɒn ðə bʌs,' bʌt aɪ dəʊnt nəʊ weər ɪt ɪz.'
' I'll tell you where to get off,' answered the conductor.
' aɪl tɛl juː weə tuː gɛt ɒf,' ˈɑːnsəd ðə kənˈdʌktə.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.
aɪ sæt ɪn ðə frʌnt ɒv ðə bʌs tuː gɛt ə gʊd vjuː ɒv ðə ˈkʌntrɪˌsaɪd.
After some time, the bus stopped.
ˈɑːftə sʌm taɪm, ðə bʌs stɒpt.
Looking round,I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
ˈlʊkɪŋ raʊnd,aɪ ˈrɪəlaɪzd wɪð ə ʃɒk ðæt aɪ wɒz ði ˈəʊnli ˈpæsɪnʤə lɛft ɒn ðə bʌs.
' You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.'
' juːl hæv tuː gɛt ɒf hɪə,' ðə kənˈdʌktə sɛd. ðɪs ɪz æz fɑːr æz wiː gəʊ.'
'Is this Woodford Green ?' I asked. 'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly.'
ɪz ðɪs Woodford griːn ?' aɪ ɑːskt. əʊ dɪə,' sɛd ðə kənˈdʌktə ˈsʌdnli.'
I forgot to put you off.' 'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.'
aɪ fəˈgɒt tuː pʊt juː ɒf.' ɪt dʌznt ˈmætə,' aɪ sɛd. aɪl gɛt ɒf hɪə.'
'We are going back now,' said the conductor. 'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.

练习感悟:只是后悔没有早点开始练,每次要用到口语的时候就很慌,希望一直练下去达到可以张口就来,运用自如的水准。
