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，我想和大家谈一谈我的慈善机构ReBicycle。不过在此之前，我先来介绍一个人。这位是莱拉·拉希米。她第一次搬到新西兰时非常害怕，以至于很难跨出家门，甚至要花好几天的时间才能鼓足勇气走到超市买基本生活用品。在几个月的沉默和不开心之后，她被邀请加入当地的自行车俱乐部。这时ReBicycle参与了进来，给了莱拉一辆二手自行车。几周后，她的抑郁随着自行车的骑行开始减轻。自行车彻底改变了她的生活，给了她希望和真正的自由的感觉。
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.
到目前为止ReBicycle已经向有需要的人捐赠了200多辆自行车，随着需求的激增，ReBicycle正在扩大自行车骑行课程。有了自行车你可以走得更远，但基本不用花钱。过去每天花在步行上英语课和放学上英语课上的三个小时已经减少到只有一个小时。我们的自行车课程非常成功，我们迫切需要更多的志愿者。对于成年人来说学习骑自行车一般相对困难，可能需要几天或几周的时间，而不是几个小时。所以，如果你们中的任何人在周末有空闲时间，请加入我们ReBicycle，为别人的生活做出改变。
