你要買自行車做什么用？山地車和平地車的設(shè)計(jì)有什么不同
 
來(lái)聽今天的講解:
 
A: I'm planning to buy a bicycle. As you are quite a cycling enthusiast, I wish you might give me some advice.
 
我在琢磨買輛自行車.你是位自行車愛好者,能給我點(diǎn)建議嗎?
 
B: with pleasure, chap. But before I start, I need to know what you want a bike for?
 
沒問題!我先問問,你要自行車做什么用?
 
A: my purpose are two-fold. On the one hand, I've grown bored of commuting on suffocating buses every day and decided to ride to work. On the other hand, bicycling is a sport, and I intend to build up my body through constantly taking a ride over the weekends.
 
有兩方面原因.第一,每天上下班擠公交車實(shí)在煩人,所以想改騎車.第二,騎車是運(yùn)動(dòng),周末騎車逛逛總可以鍛煉鍛煉身體嘛.
 
B: cycling during weekends? Do you mean riding to the mountainous countryside or just the neighboring towns?
 
周末騎車?騎車去哪兒?是鄉(xiāng)下去還是只是在附近的小鎮(zhèn)上轉(zhuǎn)悠?
 
A: does that make any difference?
 
這有關(guān)系嗎?
 
B: can't be greater. If you ride on bumpy, hilly roads, a mountain bike is what you need. But if you just ride comfortably along the city lanes, you might choose a road bike.
 
關(guān)系很大呢.如果你在凹凸不平的山路上騎,就要選用山地車.如果只是在城市公路上騎,最好還是選用平地車.
 
A: are you designed differently?
 
這兩種車的設(shè)計(jì)不同?
 
B: a road bike features skinny tires and a lightweight frame. Its riding position puts you bent over the handlebars. It's not particularly beefy in construction, and generally, it won't stand up well under heavy loads or on really rough surfaces. In contrast, mountain bikes have wide tires and a stout frame. You sit higher on them and don't have to be hunched over.
 
平地車的輪胎比較細(xì),架子也比較輕.騎上去,你必須蜷曲俯臥在車把上.平地車也不夠結(jié)實(shí),載重量不可以太大,也難以勝任不平發(fā)熱路面.相比之下,山地車輪胎較粗,架子結(jié)實(shí)厚重,騎在上面,就不必彎著背.
