Good morning, I'd like to talk to you about my charity ReBicycle. But before that, let me introduce someone. This is Leila Rahimi. She was so scared when she first moved to New Zealand that she struggled to leave the house and would spend days working up the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies. After a few months of being quite down and unhappy, she was invited to join a local bike club. At this time, ReBicycle got involved and gave Leila a second-hand bicycle. In weeks, her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life, giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom.
早上好，我想和大家談一談我的慈善機構ReBicycle。不過在此之前，我先來介紹一個人。這位是萊拉·拉希米。她第一次搬到新西蘭時非常害怕，以至于很難跨出家門，甚至要花好幾天的時間才能鼓足勇氣走到超市買基本生活用品。在幾個月的沉默和不開心之后，她被邀請加入當地的自行車俱樂部。這時ReBicycle參與了進來，給了萊拉一輛二手自行車。幾周后，她的抑郁隨著自行車的騎行開始減輕。自行車徹底改變了她的生活，給了她希望和真正的自由的感覺。
To date, ReBicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need, and is now expanding bike-riding lessons as demand soars. With a bike, you can travel farther but for almost no cost. The three hours a day that used to spend on walking to and from English language lessons has been reduced to just one hour. Our bike-riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers. Learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult as an adult, and this can take days and weeks, rather than hours. So, if any of you have some free time during the weekend, please come join us at ReBicycle and make a difference in someone's life.
到目前為止ReBicycle已經向有需要的人捐贈了200多輛自行車，隨著需求的激增，ReBicycle正在擴大自行車騎行課程。有了自行車你可以走得更遠，但基本不用花錢。過去每天花在步行上英語課和放學上英語課上的三個小時已經減少到只有一個小時。我們的自行車課程非常成功，我們迫切需要更多的志愿者。對于成年人來說學習騎自行車一般相對困難，可能需要幾天或幾周的時間，而不是幾個小時。所以，如果你們中的任何人在周末有空閑時間，請加入我們ReBicycle，為別人的生活做出改變。
