Abidemi: So Jeremy, you don't have a car now butyou had a car when you were younger. How do youfind that?

阿比德米：傑里米，你現在沒有車，不過你年輕時有過一輛車。你感覺怎麼樣?

Jeremy: Well, I mean, the reason I don't have a carnow is because of money. I can't afford a car at thispoint. But it's been many years since I actually owned a car. And I've gotten really used totaking public transit. And when you don't have a car for several years, you just get used to itand then I can sort of justify it to myself saying, "Well, I'm doing my part for theenvironment. I'm not emitting all those emissions onto the atmosphere, so this is small, smallpart for the world." But then when I think about how I can't take a road trip up into themountains or go to the ocean or just enjoy my freedom, or I can't have 15 minutes where Iget to listen to my own music and sing along in the car or just have that time to spend tomyself, I really, really miss it, honestly. Some of my best times from my youth were actually justdriving around with my friends. And I don't get that anymore. And even just to go out and picksomething up from the supermarket on a rainy day, I don't have that convenience anymore. Imean, it's not the worst in the world not having a car but sometimes, I really, really miss about you, Abidemi? I know you have transit—or you have transportation now. How doyou enjoy that?

傑里米：我現在沒有車是因為我沒錢。目前我買不起車。很多年以前，我有一輛車。現在我已經習慣於乘坐公共交通工具了。我已經很多年都沒有車了，所以我已經習慣沒有車的生活了，而且我可以給自己找個理由，“我是在為保護環境貢獻自己的力量。我沒有把排放物排放到空氣中，這是為世界貢獻了微薄的力量。”但是一想到我不能進行公路旅行，不能開車去山區或是海邊玩，不能享受那種自由，不能在車裏度過邊聽音樂邊跟着唱的那15分鐘，我真的很享受那種獨自度過的時間，説實話我很懷念那段時期。我青年時期一些最美好的時光就是開車和朋友們出去玩的那段時光。現在我再也不能享受這種美好了。而且，下雨天外出或是去超市買東西，也很不方便。沒有車並不是最糟糕的'事情，可是有時我很想念有車的那段時光。你呢，阿比德米?我知道你現在有交通工具。你享受這種生活嗎?

Abidemi: That's true. I think my story is the opposite of yours actually, Jeremy. For thelongest time, I didn't have a car or transportation. All I had was my bike or walkingeverywhere. And although I enjoyed that, I envied my friends who had cars and could just takeoff at any moment, go wherever they wanted to. Now I have a scooter and I absolutely love it.I would prefer a car on some days, it's true, on those days or when it's really cold and I needthe heat of a car. But the convenience of having my scooter and the fact that it's so cheap. Ican go anywhere, anytime. I don't have to look for parking. The parking is free. I can leave it onthe side the road somewhere and find it there and don't have to pay for parking. Yeah, I reallyenjoy that. And it just feels cooler. I think wherever I live, wherever I go now, I would—even if Ido buy a car someday, I would always want to have a scooter or a motorbike because it's justsomething—I don't know, exciting.

阿比德米：沒錯。我的生活和你完全相反，傑里米。很長一段時間以來，我沒有車，也不乘坐公共交通。以前我外出會騎自行車或是走路。雖然我很享受這種生活，可是我也很羨慕那些有車的朋友，他們可以隨時出發，去任何他們想去的地方。現在我有一輛小型摩托車，我非常喜歡它。不過説實話，有些日子我更希望我能有輛汽車，比如天氣很冷的時候，我很需要車裏的暖氣。不過有輛小型摩托車也很方便，而且很便宜。我可以在任何時間去任何地方。我不用找停車場。停車是免費的。我可以把我的摩托車放在路邊，不用交停車費。我很享受這點。而且感覺更酷。我認為無論我生活在哪裏，無論我去哪裏，即使有一天我會買輛車，我也希望有一輛小型摩托車或是摩托車，因為我感覺這令人感到興奮。

Jeremy: As a scooter driver though, do you ever feel intimidated by the cars on the road? Imean, is it dangerous do you think driving a scooter around?

傑里米：你在路上騎小型摩托車時，有沒有被汽車嚇倒?我是問，你有沒有覺得騎小型摩托車很危險?

Abidemi: That is a very good question. It's true. When you talk about road rage, people being—road rage is one thing when it's car versus car. But when you're on a scooter and you can'tgo as fast as the other drivers, and they are behind you. Although, they're very polite,sometimes, they don't honk but you can feel them coming behind you. So I try to drive as closeto the edge as possible. At times, I just had to pull over because I don't want you to hit me. Iknow you want to get to where you want to go and you're faster than me. So I just pull to theside, let the car pass and just go my way. So it's true. It is safety. You have to be really safeand conscientious and just have to pay attention to what you're doing.

阿比德米：這是一個非常好的問題。沒錯。在談到路怒時，汽車之間產生問題時，通常會引發路怒。不過小型摩托車的速度沒有汽車那麼快，汽車一直從後面趕上來。雖然他們很有禮貌，他們沒有按喇叭，可是能感覺到後面的汽車。所以我在騎摩托車時儘量靠近路邊。有時，我不得不把車停在路邊，因為我不想被車撞到。我知道他們有想去的地方，而且他們的速度比我快。所以我就把我的小型摩托車停在路邊，讓汽車先過去，然後我再繼續往前騎。沒錯。安全很重要。一定要保證安全，要謹慎，注意自己的行為。

Jeremy: Sounds like you have the right attitude as a scooter driver.

傑里米：聽起來作為小型摩托車駕駛者有很端正的態度。

Abidemi: I try. I try. I want to be safe.

阿比德米：我儘量，儘量。我想確保安全。

Jeremy: Yeah.

傑里米：對。
