Ama had an old neighbor called Goran. He sat on his porch every afternoon. He looked at the street and said little.
阿玛有一位年迈的邻居,叫戈兰。他每天下午都坐在门廊上。他望着街道,很少说话。
One day, Ama walked past his garage. The door was open. In the back, she saw a bicycle. It was brown with rust.
一天,阿玛路过他的车库。车库门开着。她看见最里面有一辆自行车,褐色的,满是锈迹。
"Is that your bicycle?" she asked.
“那是您的自行车吗?”她问。
"Yes," said Goran. "It was my bicycle. It does not work now."
“是的,”戈兰说,“那曾经是我的自行车。现在它不能骑了。”
Ama looked at the wheels. "I can help," she said. "I can make it work."
阿玛看了看车轮。“我可以帮忙,”她说,“我能让它重新能骑。”
The next day, she came with some oil. She put oil on the chain. At first, it made a loud noise. Then it was quiet.
第二天,她带着一些油来了。她给链条上了油。起初,它发出很响的声音。后来就安静了。
On the third day, Ama brought a pump. She put air in both tires. They were hard and round again.
第三天,阿玛带来了打气筒。她给两个轮胎都打足了气。它们又变得又硬又圆。
On the fourth day, she bought a new bell. It was silver and shiny. She put it on the handle.
第四天,她买了一个新铃铛。它是银色的,闪闪发亮。她把它装在车把上。
Goran came out of his house. He looked at the bicycle for a long time. Then he sat on the seat. His hands shook a little.
戈兰从屋里走了出来。他看了那辆自行车很久。然后他坐上了车座。他的双手微微发抖。
He rode slowly down the street. Ama walked next to him. At the corner, Goran rang the bell. Then he rang it again.
他慢慢地沿着街骑了起来。阿玛走在他身旁。到了街角,戈兰按响了铃铛。然后他又按了一次。
