问题: 请教第二句话该如何翻译如何分析?
The buses are usually pretty good in Manchester although they can often be infuriating. I was once told that I could not use my bus pass because it had expired a full and shocking total of three minutes ago and try as I might to point out that this would not have been the case if the bus had been on time.
我的翻译是：
尽管这些公交车时常让人倍感苦恼，但通常来说在Manchester它们还是相当不错的。我曾被告知我不可能指望我所乘坐的公交车通过，因为路上总有长达三分钟的拥堵，而且试图希望公交车准时到达那是不可能事。
解答:
你的翻译有个根本的错, 是因为没理解 bus pass 是车票. 如果这个词你理解了,你就能翻译对了.expired 过期.
