R:Good morning, young lady. Beautiful day, isn't it?
業(yè)者：早安，小姐。天氣很好，不是嗎?
K:I'll say. Summer here is so lovely.
凱西：是啊。這里的夏天非常宜人。
R:How would you like to rent a bicycle today and see the city the way most people here in Amsterdam do? They're very reasonable.
業(yè)者：今天要和這兒大多數(shù)的人一樣租自行車游覽阿姆斯特丹嗎?價(jià)錢很公道。
K:Yes, we've heard that most people here commute by bicycle rather than by car. I think that's great!
凱西：是的，我們聽說這里大多數(shù)的人都是騎自行車通勤而不開車的。我認(rèn)為這樣很棒了!
R:So do we! It may take longer, but it's more healthful and a much better way to take in the city views.
業(yè)者：我們也這么認(rèn)為!騎自行車可能要多花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間，但是比較有益建康，而且也是觀賞市景比較好的一種方式。

凱西：哇 。你把我給說服了。兩個(gè)人要多少錢呢?
R:You have a choice of a tandem if you want to ride together, or two separate bikes.
業(yè)者：如果你們要共騎的話可以選擇雙人協(xié)力車，或者選擇兩輛單人騎的自行車。
K:Uh, I think separate bikes might be better.
凱西：呃，我想單人自行車也許比較好。
R:A half day is four hours; a full day is anytime before 8:00 p.m. Each bike half day is 6.5 euros, for a full day 13. A lock and key come with each bicycle.
業(yè)者：半天是四個(gè)小時(shí)，一天是租到晚上八點(diǎn)前。一輛自行車半天是歐元六塊五，一天是十三塊。每輛自行車都附有一把鎖和鑰匙。
K:So, how much would that be in U.S. dollars for two bikes all day?
凱西：那么，兩輛自行車租用一天，美金要多少錢呢?
R:That would be 26 euros or roughly US$35.
業(yè)者：那要廿六歐元或美金三十五元左右。
K:That's not cheap, but it will be fun. OK, we'll take two.
凱西：雖然并不便宜，但是會(huì)很好玩。好的，我們租兩輛。
