Part Two: Dialogues
1. Bikes自行车
A: Hey, Jim. I didn’t know you biked to work.
B: Yeah, it helps keep me fit and helps the environment, too.
A: One less car on the road means less pollution.
B: Right. Since my work is near a park, it’s a really nice ride, too.
A: How far is it?
B: Oh, about 10 miles. It takes me about an hour.
A: That doesn’t sound too bad. I wish I could do it, but I work in the city. So I take the train.
B: You’re doing your part for the environment by using public transportation, too.
A: True. Well, see you tomorrow.
B: See you.
A: 嘿，吉姆。我可不知道你骑自行车上班。
B: 是这样。他可以帮助我保持体形，同时也有利于环境。
A: 马路上车少也意味着污染更少。
B: 是呀。我上班的地方挨着公园，骑车是件很惬意的事情。
A: 有多远。
B: 哦，大概10英里。花大概1个小时。
A: 那还不至于太糟糕。我希望我也可以这样，可是我在市区上班，所以坐火车去。
B: 使用公交车也算是为环境尽了一点你自己的力量。
A: 这倒是。好了，明天见。
B: 再见。

2. Private Cars 私人汽车
A: Hey, John. Nice car.
B: Thanks. I finally got rid of that old Nissan that got me through college.

B: No, it’s last year’s model. 
A: True. How much did you pay?
B: $14,500. It only has 10,000 miles on it, so it’s like a new car.
A: Does that mean you’re not going to take the train to work anymore?
B: Well, sometimes, I think it’ll be nice to drive to work instead. We’ll see.  Want to go for a ride?
A: Yeah, sure.
B: Come on.
A: 嘿，约翰，好漂亮的汽车。
B: 谢谢。我最终摆脱了大学时代用的旧尼桑。
A: 这是什么车？新款福特？
B: 不是，是去年的车型。
A: 是嘛。多少钱？
B:14500元。才开1万英里。就象新车一个样。
A: 这是否意味着你不再坐火车上班了？
B: 哦，有时候还是会的。我想改成开车去上班更惬意。看吧。想不想出去兜兜风？
A: 好，当然想。
B: 来吧。
