The traffic light's red
红灯了
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.
我太太需要一些鼓励才能继续蹬健身自行车。我说:“你闭上眼睛,想象你是沿着纽约的百老汇大街在骑车。这样比较有趣。”在这一灵感的激发下,她继续蹬下去,但是仅仅一分钟她又停下了。我问她:“怎么啦?”她回答说:“红灯了。”
