大学四级英语听力：艾达第一次骑自行车For most people, riding a bike is not much of an adventure. Most of us learn to ride by the time we are five years old and after that it”s as easy as walking. But Ada had never learned to ride a bike. Ada was blind. So, when her friend, Brenda offered to teach her to ride when she was 27 years old, Ada jumped at the chance.对大局部人来说，骑自行车并不算是什么冒险活动。大多数人都是在五岁左右学骑自行车的，一旦学会就和走路同样简单了。不过艾达由于失明，因此历来没有学过骑自行车。当艾达二十七岁时，她朋友布兰达提议要教她骑自行车，艾达便充足把握了这次时机。 Brenda wheeled her bike to the long driveway. Brenda learned to ride on this driveway when she was six and thought it would be the perfect place for Ada to learn. 布兰达把她的自行车推到她六岁时学会骑车的那条长长的车道上，她觉得这里是艾达学骑自行车最理想的地方。 When Ada arrived she was smiling but seemed nervous. “Don”t worry, Ada, it will be fun.” “But what if fall?” said Ada. “Then you fall. No big deal. Now come and sit on my bike.” 艾达来了后来，虽然一脸微笑但仿佛有点紧急。“不要担忧，艾达，会很好玩的。”“可是万一摔倒怎么办？”艾达说。“摔倒就摔倒，没什么大不了的。目前就坐上自行车吧。 On Ada”s first try, she did fall. The second time she was able to stay up for about three seconds, and on the last time she was riding. She was actually riding a bike. Ada was so happy, she almost cried. The cool air on her face felt refreshing. She was finally riding a bike. 艾达第一次试骑果真摔倒了，另一方面次则撑了三秒钟，最终一次就开头骑了，她真的会骑自行车了。艾达几乎喜极而泣，吹在脸上的凉风也令人精神为之一振。她最终会骑自行车了。”
