一全文逐句语法解读

本课是作者乘公交车兜风的小幽默。语言点集中在「公共汽车」相关的固定说法(get on / get off / put sb. off / stay on)、where to get off 这类「疑问词 + 不定式」结构、as far as … 与 in that case,以及 go on an excursion、lose one's way 等短语。

'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.'时间状语从句 as 引导 · get on the bus 上公共汽车 · 宾语从句 where it is
'I'll tell you where to get off,' answered the conductor.疑问词 + 不定式 where to get off 作 tell 的直接宾语,相当于 tell you where you should get off · get off 下车

'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly. 'I forgot to put you off.'Oh dear 哎呀(表示惊讶或抱歉)· forget to do sth. 忘记去做某事(还没做);与 forget doing sth.(忘记做过)区别开 · put sb. off(在此)让某人下车
'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.'It doesn't matter. 没关系(回应对方的道歉)· get off 下车

¶ 4 · 干脆不下(句 11-12)
