Unit 8 Ada's First Bike Ride

第8單元艾達(dá)第一次騎自行車(chē)

For most people, riding a bike is not much of an adventure. Most of us learn to ride by the time we are five years old and after that it's as easy as walking. But Ada had never learned to ride a bike. Ada was blind. So, when her friend, Brenda offered to teach her to ride when she was 27 years old, Ada jumped at the chance.

對(duì)大部分人來(lái)說(shuō)，騎自行車(chē)并不算是什么冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)。大多數(shù)人都是在五歲左右學(xué)騎自行車(chē)的，一旦學(xué)會(huì)就和走路一樣容易了。不過(guò)艾達(dá)因?yàn)槭鳎詮膩?lái)沒(méi)有學(xué)過(guò)騎自行車(chē)。當(dāng)艾達(dá)二十七歲時(shí)，她朋友布蘭達(dá)提議要教她騎自行車(chē)，艾達(dá)便充分把握了這次機(jī)會(huì)。

Brenda wheeled her bike to the long driveway. Brenda learned to ride on this driveway when she was six and thought it would be the perfect place for Ada to learn.

布蘭達(dá)把她的自行車(chē)推到她六歲時(shí)學(xué)會(huì)騎車(chē)的那條長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的車(chē)道上，她覺(jué)得這里是艾達(dá)學(xué)騎自行車(chē)最理想的地方。

When Ada arrived she was smiling but seemed nervous. “Don't worry, Ada, it will be fun.” “But what if fall?” said Ada. “Then you fall. No big deal. Now come and sit on my bike.”

艾達(dá)來(lái)了以后，雖然一臉微笑但似乎有點(diǎn)緊張。“不要擔(dān)心，艾達(dá)，會(huì)很好玩的。”“可是萬(wàn)一摔倒怎么辦？”艾達(dá)說(shuō)。“摔倒就摔倒，沒(méi)什么大不了的。現(xiàn)在就坐上自行車(chē)吧。

On Ada's first try, she did fall. The second time she was able to stay up for about three seconds, and on the last time she was riding. She was actually riding a bike. Ada was so happy, she almost cried. The cool air on her face felt refreshing. She was finally riding a bike.

艾達(dá)第一次試騎果然摔倒了，第二次則撐了三秒鐘，最后一次就開(kāi)始騎了，她真的會(huì)騎自行車(chē)了。艾達(dá)幾乎喜極而泣，吹在臉上的涼風(fēng)也令人精神為之一振。她終于會(huì)騎自行車(chē)了。”
