Oh, right. And one more question in this section. What is the reason for you coming into town today?

这部分最后一个问题：你今天来镇上的目的是什么？

Actually it's not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.

今天不是来购物，而是来看牙医。

Right. Thanks.

好的，谢谢。

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.

最后请你对城市通勤设施和安排提出改进建议。

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.

我上晚班步行时，觉得照明应该更好。

Yes, good point.

这个建议很好。

And of course, I think it's a real shame they've been cutting down on the number of footpaths. They should have more of those. Then people would walk more.

减少人行道数量很可惜，应该增加人行道，让更多人步行。

Yes, right.

好的。

And, I don't think there are enough trains. That's why I don't use them - you have to wait so long.

火车班次不够，等待时间太长，所以我不乘火车。

Thanks. And finally I'd like to ask your opinion on cycling. As you may know, there's a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.

最后想问问你对骑车上班的看法。

Right.

好的。

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

市政委员会和雇主都可以采取措施，鼓励员工骑车上班。

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

我工作的地方没有安全存放自行车的位置。

OK.

好的。

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

骑车上坡会出很多汗，所以工作场所需要淋浴设施。

Right.

好的。

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

我对在繁忙道路上骑车没有足够信心。

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.

我希望提供骑行培训，这样开始骑车时会更安心。

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

这些信息很有帮助，非常感谢你。

No problem, bye!

没问题，再见！
