他一上车，我就用法语向他道了早安，他也用同样的语言回答我。
as soon as 表“一……就……”；had got into 说明他先上车，我后开口。reply 若接宾语常要加 to，这里 in the same language 作方式状语。

had nearly reached 表示“差一点就到达”；when 在这里带“就在这时”的突然感。
As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
我很快得知，他本人竟然就是英国人！
As I soon learnt = 正如我很快得知的那样；himself 放句尾起强调作用，增强反转效果。

读写提示
- 反转类小故事要尽量晚一点揭示真相，这课的最后一句就是包袱。

- apart from a few words 和 neither of us spoke 这两句最能体现笑点铺垫。
- 复述时最好把“作者也不会法语、年轻人其实也会英语”这两个信息对照说出来。
