英語時差：談談自行車

Amanda: Check out this new folding bicycle that my boyfriend bought for me! We've decided to keep fit together by riding around town whenever we get the chance.

Mike: Oh, that's nice, but it kinda looks dorky with those small wheels. And what's even dorkier is that you and your boyfriend have matching bikes! Hahaha... he must be whipped to have agreed to purchase matching bikes.

Amanda: He is NOT whipped. He's a really nice boyfriend who cares about what I think, and anyway, he didn't want a tandem bicycle like I originally suggested. With a tandem bicycle, we would always be right beside each other when riding and I could also make sure his eyes don't rove.

Mike: Oh man. You've got him on a leash. I'm so glad that I don't have a girlfriend. Anyway, this is my bicycle-a BMX. I can ride the half-pipes with it and do all sorts of stunts and tricks. I can't really do any tricks yet, but my friend promised me this weekend that he'd show me the ropes.

Amanda: That's so dangerous! I would never let my boyfriend do such a dangerous sport. You had better wear a helmet.

Mike: Of course I wear a helmet-I'm not stupid!
