Renting a Bicycle
租自行车
Kathy and Evan decide to tour Amsterdam as many people do, by bicycle. Kathy is talking with a renter of bicycles.
凯西和艾凡决定和许多人的做法一样─骑自行车游览阿姆斯特丹。 凯西正和一名自行车出租业者谈话。
R:Good morning, young lady. Beautiful day, isn't it?
业者:早安，小姐。天气很好，不是吗？
K:I'll say. Summer here is so lovely.
凯西:是啊。这里的夏天非常宜人。
R:How would you like to rent a bicycle today and see the city the way most people here in Amsterdam do? They're very reasonable.
业者:今天要和这儿大多数的人一样租自行车游览阿姆斯特丹吗？价钱很公道。
K:Yes, we've heard that most people here commute by bicycle rather than by car. I think that's great!
凯西:是的，我们听说这里大多数的人都是骑自行车通勤而不开车的。我认为这样很棒了！
R:So do we! It may take longer, but it's more healthful and a much better way to take in the city views.
业者:我们也这么认为！骑自行车可能要多花一点时间，但是比较有益建康，而且也是观赏市景比较好的一种方式。
K:Gee, you sold me. How much for two?
凯西:哇。你把我给说服了。两个人要多少钱呢？
R:You have a choice of a tandem if you want to ride together, or two separate bikes.
业者:如果你们要共骑的话可以选择双人协力车，或者选择两辆单人骑的自行车。
K:Uh, I think separate bikes might be better.
凯西:呃，我想单人自行车也许比较好。
R:A half day is four hours; a full day is anytime before 8:00 p.m. Each bike half day is 6.5 euros, for a full day 13. A lock and key come with each bicycle.
业者:半天是四个小时，一天是租到晚上八点前。一辆自行车半天是欧元六块五，一天是十三块。每辆自行车都附有一把锁和钥匙。
K:So, how much would that be in U.S. dollars for two bikes all day?
凯西:那么，两辆自行车租用一天，美金要多少钱呢？
R:That would be 26 euros or roughly US$35.
业者:那要26欧元或美金35元左右。
K:That's not cheap, but it will be fun. OK, we'll take two.
凯西:虽然并不便宜，但是会很好玩。好的，我们租两辆。
