生活英語情景口語:我們騎車去聽音樂會
A: are you.ready to go the concert?
M: yes. Shoud we go there by bus so we aren't late?
A: actually, why don't we go there by bike? We could get stuck in traffic if we travel by bus in ruch hour.
M: that's true. Cycling is good for our environment, too. Let me just get my helmet then.
A: is your helmet comfortable?
M:not really, but I liked the design, so I got it.
A: maybe you shoud think about getting a round helmet; they're better.
M: I'll think about it.
A: is that your new bicycle?
M: yes, my father gave it to me for my birthday. Do you like it?
A: it's the newest 10 speed cycling mountain bike. These are really expensive!
M: nothing but the best from my dad. I like everything about it except for the brakes. They are a bit sticky.
A: I can fix those for you. Is there anything else wrong with it?
M: well, my saddle is too low for me. Do you know how to change the height?
A: that's easy. It's important to have the saddle high enough so that your legs can extend fully when you are on your bicycle.
M: is that why my knees have felt sore after every time I've ridden my bike?
A: it's possible. Give me a minute and I can fix these for you and then we can go.
你準備去聽音樂會嗎?
是的.我們一起去坐公共汽車吧?這樣不會遲到.
坦白說,我們爲什麼不騎自行車去呢? 如果我們坐公共汽車的話,趕上高峯一定會堵在路上的.
有道理.騎自行車對環境也有好處.那我拿上頭盔吧.
你的頭盔戴着舒服嗎?
不怎麼舒服,不過我喜歡它的樣子,所以就買了.
也許你改考慮一下圓形的頭盔,那樣會好些.
我會考慮的.
這是你的新自行車嗎?
是啊,這是我爸爸送我的生日禮物.你喜歡嗎?
這是最新款的10級變速山地車.可貴了!
我爸爸要送就送最好的.這車什麼都好,就是剎車有點太緊了.
我可以幫你修. 還有什麼其它問題嗎?
嗯,車座對我來說有點低,你知道怎麼調高度嗎?
這很簡單.保證車座的高度很重要,這樣你坐在車座上的時候,腿才能全部伸展開.
這就是爲什麼我每次騎完這輛車就覺得膝蓋痠痛的原因吧?
很有可能.給我一分鐘,我就能把這些都幫你調好了,咱們就能走了.
