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(zhǔn)備去聽(tīng)音樂(lè)會(huì)嗎?
是的.我們一起去坐公共汽車吧?這樣不會(huì)遲到.
坦白說(shuō),我們?yōu)槭裁床或T自行車去呢? 如果我們坐公共汽車的話,趕上高峰一定會(huì)堵在路上的.
有道理.騎自行車對(duì)環(huán)境也有好處.那我拿上頭盔吧.
你的頭盔戴著舒服嗎?
不怎么舒服,不過(guò)我喜歡它的樣子,所以就買了.
也許你該考慮一下圓形的頭盔,那樣會(huì)好些.
我會(huì)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(jí)變速山地車.可貴了!
我爸爸要送就送最好的.這車什么都好,就是剎車有點(diǎn)太緊了.
我可以幫你修. 還有什么其它問(wèn)題嗎?
嗯,車座對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)有點(diǎn)低,你知道怎么調(diào)高度嗎?
這很簡(jiǎn)單.保證車座的高度很重要,這樣你坐在車座上的時(shí)候,腿才能全部伸展開(kāi).
這就是為什么我每次騎完這輛車就覺(jué)得膝蓋酸痛的原因吧?
很有可能.給我一分鐘,我就能把這些都幫你調(diào)好了,咱們就能走了.
