美語(yǔ)咖啡屋 Lesson 16: Biker Culture

Y: 各位聽(tīng)眾好，我是楊陳。歡迎大家到美語(yǔ)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(méi)錯(cuò)，我們?cè)?jīng)介紹過(guò)Bike Week就是摩托愛(ài)好者的一次大聚會(huì)。

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

Y: 對(duì)，參加的人來(lái)自世界各地。他們的活動(dòng)豐富多彩。哎，Jody，我覺(jué)得這些人已經(jīng)形成了特殊的摩托車(chē)文化，你說(shuō)對(duì)不對(duì)。

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(shí)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(shuō)他玩摩托車(chē)的歷史已經(jīng)有32年了，然后他和Terry開(kāi)業(yè)賣(mài)摩托車(chē)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(shuō)的motorcycle gear，是不是摩托車(chē)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(huì)騎自行車(chē)，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(shí)錄2 Gino: They're basically just nice people. They're down-to-earth, hardworking... they'll do anything for anybody.

Y: Gino說(shuō)的down-to-earth我們可解釋為很實(shí)在，很樸實(shí)，對(duì)不對(duì)？

J: 對(duì)了。
