美语咖啡屋 Lesson 16: Biker Culture
Y: 各位听众好，我是杨陈。欢迎大家到美语咖啡屋。
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: 没错，我们曾经介绍过Bike Week就是摩托爱好者的一次大聚会。
J: Exactly. And people come from all over the world to come to Bike Week.
Y: 对，参加的人来自世界各地。他们的活动丰富多彩。哎，Jody，我觉得这些人已经形成了特殊的摩托车文化，你说对不对。
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.
实录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说他玩摩托车的历史已经有32年了，然后他和Terry开业卖摩托车也已经有20年了。
J: Yeah, we talked in the store that he and Terry owned. The store was full of motorcycle gear.
Y: 你说的motorcycle gear，是不是摩托车用品？
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: 我会骑自行车，我算不算biker？
J: Oh, no, I don't think that counts, Yang Chen.
Y: 我好伤心。
J: Try again next time. Here is Gino to tell us more about the biker culture.
实录2 Gino: They're basically just nice people. They're down-to-earth, hardworking... they'll do anything for anybody.
Y: Gino说的down-to-earth我们可解释为很实在，很朴实，对不对？
J: 对了。
