美語咖啡屋 Lesson 16: Biker Culture

Y: 各位聽眾好，我是楊陳。歡迎大家到美語咖啡屋。

J: Hello and welcome to American Cafe! My name's Jody. On a previous show we talked about Bike Week, a long vacation in Florida for people who love motorcycles.

Y: 沒錯，我們曾經(jīng)介紹過Bike Week就是摩托愛好者的一次大聚會。

J: Exactly. And people come from all over the world to come to Bike Week.

Y: 對，參加的人來自世界各地。他們的活動豐富多彩。哎，Jody，我覺得這些人已經(jīng)形成了特殊的摩托車文化，你說對不對。

J: Oh, exactly. There was way too much to cover in only five minutes. So, we're back with our friends Gino and Terry, bikers and motorcycle salesman, to learn more about the traditions of the biker culture.

實錄1 Gino: I've been riding for 32 years. Uh I've been in the bike business for about 20 years ... me and my and partner Terry. It's been something I've always enjoyed.

Y: Gino說他玩摩托車的歷史已經(jīng)有32年了，然后他和Terry開業(yè)賣摩托車也已經(jīng)有20年了。

J: Yeah, we talked in the store that he and Terry owned. The store was full of motorcycle gear.

Y: 你說的motorcycle gear，是不是摩托車用品？

J: Right, clothing and helmets, and of course the motorcycles. And Gino described a typical biker. Yang Chen, we should tell everyone that in English "biker," B-I-KE-R", only refers to someone who rides a motorcycle.

Y: 我會騎自行車，我算不算biker？

J: Oh, no, I don't think that counts, Yang Chen.

Y: 我好傷心。

J: Try again next time. Here is Gino to tell us more about the biker culture.

實錄2 Gino: They're basically just nice people. They're down-to-earth, hardworking... they'll do anything for anybody.

Y: Gino說的down-to-earth我們可解釋為很實在，很樸實，對不對？

J: 對了。
