What is the reason for you coming into town today?

INTERVIEWER: Right. Thanks.

采访者：好的。谢谢。

INTERVIEWER: Now in this last section I'd like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work, er, any suggestions you have for improvements.

采访者：现在在最后这个部分，我想让你对于城市中上下班的设施和安排给出些想法，呃，对于改善这些有没有什么建议。

LUISA: Well, something I've thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I'm doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better.

路易莎：那么，有个事我已经考虑了一阵子了，是当我上晚班，走路的时候，我觉得灯光可以再好些。

INTERVIEWER: Yes, good point.

采访者，好的，问得好。

LUISA: And of course, I think it's a real shame they've been cutting down on the number of footpaths.

路易莎：当然，我想他们减少人行小路的数量真的很遗憾。

They should have more of those.

他们应该多设些。

Then people would walk more.

这样走路的人就更多了。

INTERVIEWER: Yes, right.

采访者：好的。

LUISA: And, I don't think there are enough trains.

路易莎：而且，我认为火车也不够。

That's why I don't use them – you have to wait so long.

这就是我不坐它们的原因，你必须要等很久。

INTERVIEWER: Thanks. And finally I'd like to ask your opinion on cycling.

采访者：谢谢。最后我想问问你关于骑自行车的想法。

As you may know, there's a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.

你可能知道，现在城里有种趋势，有越来越多的人骑车上班。

LUISA: Right.

路易莎：是的。

INTERVIEWER: But we realise that there are things which the council, but also employers, might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work.

采访者：但是我们意识到市委会还有雇主可能可以做些事鼓励员工骑车上班。

LUISA: Yep. Well, I have thought about it and where I work there are no safe places to leave your bikes.

路易莎：是的。我想过这件事，在我工作的地方没有一个安全的存放自行车的地方。

INTERVIEWER: OK.

采访者：好的。

LUISA: And also, I'd have to cycle uphill and on a hot day I'd arrive at work pretty sweaty so I think I'd need a shower somewhere at work.

路易莎：并且，我要骑上山，而且在一个炎热的天气里，我会满身汗水地到达工作地点，所以如果那样的话我在单位需要一个地方冲凉。

INTERVIEWER: Right.

采访者：好的。

LUISA: And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn't be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads.

路易莎：还有我猜最后一点是我对在如此繁忙的路上骑车不是很自信。

I think I'd like to see you offering training for that, you know, I'd feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.

我希望你们可以提供相关的培训，你知道的，如果有培训，我对开始骑车这件事会更有信心。

INTERVIEWER: Well, that's very helpful. Thank you very much for your time.

采访者：好的，这真的很有帮助。非常感谢你的时间。

LUISA: No problem. Bye.

路易莎：不客气。再见。
