Morley: This is a great bike ride. I'm glad you agreed to do it.
     Dan: [Looking tired] I'm beginning to think I bit off more than I can chew.
     Morley: Maybe it's because of that race. I should told you I used to be a bike messenger.
     Dan: [Gets a flat tire] Hey, I got a flat. Let's pull over and change it.
     Morley: I've got the spare tube. Did you remember to bring the pump?
     Dan: I knew I forgot something.

     莫理：這真是趟很棒的單車之旅。我很高興你同意騎車。
     阿丹：（看起來有點累）我開始覺得有點力不從心。
     莫理：也許是那場比賽的關系。我該早點告訴你我以前是個單車快遞。
     阿丹：（爆胎）嘿，我爆胎了。我們停到路邊換輪胎。
     莫理：我有備用內胎。你有記得帶打氣筒嗎？
     阿丹：我就知道我忘了帶某樣東西。
     重點解說：
     ★ coast (n.) 海岸
     ★ bike messenger 單車快遞。messenger是‘送信者’
     ★ flat (n.,a.) 平的；泄了氣的輪胎。‘爆胎’的固定用法是flat tire
     ★ pull over （車子）靠邊停
     ★ spare (a.) 備用的?！畟涮ァ莝pare tire。tube 是輪胎的‘內胎’
     ★ pump (n.) 打氣筒
