the bus ride 怎么翻译?课文里出现了这个短语,怎么跟学生解释?

就是旅程的意思 也可以说成是公车旅程 例如The bus ride continued for a few more minutes. 这段旅程就几分钟.就是想知道ride为什么可以放在bus后面作名词呢？以下是ride的英英解释ride [raid] n.名词1. a journey in a vehicle (usually an automobile)2. a mechanical device that you ride for amusement or excitement看到没 作为名词第一条解释就是 a journey in a vehicle所以为何不能放在bus后面呢？放在别的交通工具car或者automobile也完全可以哟v.动词1. sit and travel on the back of animal, usually while controlling its motionse.g. Did you ever ride a camel? 2. be carried or travel on or in a vehicleI ride to work in a bus e.g. He rides the subway downtown every day
