Voice 1: In Kampala, Uganda speed is everything. One of the fastest taxis in the world is the boda-boda in Kampala. This kind of taxi provides a fun ride around the town. Passengers do not have to wait in traffic. Some boda-boda drivers even drive on the sides of the roads and between cars. Boda-bodas became popular in the nineteen-sixties. At that time it was difficult to find transport across the border between Uganda and Kenya. People paid men to take them across the border on two-wheeled bicycles. This is how they got the name boda-boda — from border. Now, boda-bodas have engines. So these new boda-bodas are motorcycles.
聲音1：在烏干達坎帕拉，速度就是一切。世界上最快的出租車之一是坎帕拉的“博達博達”。乘坐這種出租車在城里游玩很有趣。乘客不必在車流中等待。一些“博達博達”司機甚至會在路邊和車與車之間穿行。“博達博達”從上世紀60年代開始流行。當時很難找到穿越烏干達和肯尼亞邊界的運輸工具。人們花錢雇人騎兩輪自行車帶他們過邊境。“博達博達”這個名字正是源于邊境。現在，“博達博達”安裝了引擎。因此，這些新的“博達博達”是摩托車。
However, criminals have been attacking boda boda drivers and their passengers. The criminals want to steal the motorcycles. Sometimes boda boda drivers died in these attacks. For these reasons the Ugandan government banned boda-bodas from travelling after eleven o'clock at night. But some drivers still drive them illegally. They turn off their lights and continue to make trips. The government in Uganda is talking about banning boda-bodas completely. The drivers hope this does not happen. Boda-bodas are part of their way of life.
然而，犯罪分子一直在襲擊“博達博達”司機和他們的乘客。罪犯想偷摩托車。有時“博達博達”司機會死于這些襲擊。基于這些原因，烏干達政府禁止“博達博達”在晚上11點以后出行。但仍有一些司機違規駕駛。他們會關上車燈，繼續載客。烏干達政府正在討論完全禁止“博達博達”。司機們希望這不會發生。“博達博達”已成為他們生活方式的一部分。
Voice 2: Jeepneys! Tuk-tuks! Vaporetti! Boda-Bodas! These forms of transport have been shaped by where they are. Maybe you have an example where you live?
聲音2：吉普尼！三輪摩托車！水上出租車！“博達博達”！這些運輸方式由它們所在的地點決定。也許你生活的地方有另一種出租車？
