200 years of Bicycles
Hi everyone!
騎腳踏車好好玩喔! 你會騎嗎?
I learned how to ride a bicycle when I was in the fifth grade … and I still
ride a bicycle whenever I can!
Using a bicycle is a smart idea. 不用汽油或馬達 … you just need your legs!
Sit on the seat, put your feet on the pedals … push the pedals and go! --
It's pedal power! Amazing! Such a great idea!
So, who had this smart idea? 是誰先發明腳踏車?
Well, the answer is: a lot of people.
The first idea for a bicycle is more than 200 years old! It was made in
Germany. But the first bicycle didn't have pedals … you put your feet on the
ground and pushed the bicycle forward with your legs.
Now, bicycles use pedals, a chain, and gears …. now, you can ride a bicycle
really far and really fast!
腳踏車改變了全世界。 Today, lots of people use "public bicycles."
"Public" means "for people" and … well … you know what "bicycle" means,
right?
A public bicycle is a bicycle anyone can borrow - or rent - for only a little
money. It's an easy and convenient idea!
In Taipei, public bicycles are called "U-Bikes" and in Kaohsiung, they are
called "C-Bikes."台灣到處都找得到腳踏車!
Hey … maybe we don't need so many cars or motorcycles…we can ride bicycles!
Bicycles are clean and quiet … and you can get some exercise when you ride
them, too!
And did you know? Taiwan makes really good bicycles! All over the world,
people love bicycles made in Taiwan. Cool, right?
I'm really glad so many people had great ideas that gave us bicycles! Pedal
power is amazing!
_____________________________________________________
Vocabulary
Riding a bicycle is a smart idea.
1) Smart聰明的。Mike is such a smart kid麥克真是個聰明小孩! Everybody is
using smartphones now現在大家都用智慧型手機了。
2) Feet腳。Riding a bike is easy; just put your feet on the pedals and
go騎腳踏車很簡單,把腳踩在踏板上就出發了!
3) Leg腿。Of course dogs run faster--they have 4 legs and we only have
two狗狗當然跑得比較快啦,牠們有四條腿,我們只有兩條!
4) Public公共的。Public school公立學校,public place公共場所。Public
Television Service公共電視台,簡稱為P-T-S
