98 The traffic light's red 紅燈了
My wife needed encouragement to keep pedaling the exercise bike in gym. I said, “Close your eyes and imagine you're riding along Broadway in New York City. It will be more interesting.” Inspired, she cycled on, but after a minute she stopped. “What's wrong?” I asked. “The traffic light's red,” she replied.
我太太需要一些鼓勵才能繼續(xù)蹬健身自行車。我說:“你閉上眼睛,想象你是沿著紐約的百老匯大街在騎車。這樣比較有趣。”得到這個靈感,她繼續(xù)蹬下去。但是僅僅一分鐘她又停下了。我問她:“怎么啦?”她回答說:“紅燈了。”
