The Wrong Bus

公交车开往相反的方向，一个小时变成了一个下午。

一般过去时，有很多表示地点和方向的词。注意表示移动的介词：into、out of、past、back。中文的方向常常放在动词后面（走进、走出、回来），英语则放在动词旁边的介词里。

Malik got into the bus at the market and sat down at the back. He was tired. He did not look out of the window for ten minutes.

When he looked up, the street was wrong. The bus was going past fields, and there were no houses on either side.

He asked the driver, who said that this was the bus to the next town and that it went back at four. It was half past two.

Malik walked into the town, bought bread and cheese and sat by the water for an hour. The sun was warm and the water was very quiet.

On the way home he thought that it had been a good afternoon. He had not planned any of it, and that was the reason.
