（单词翻译）

Todd: So, hello Terry, (Hello, Todd) Now Terry you do bicycle trips in America and you take long trips. Can you talk about the last bicycle trip you did?

Terry: OK, the last trip that I did in the summer, I started in Vancouver, British Columbia and rode down the West Coast to San Diego. It took about six weeks to do that.

Todd: Wow, so you started in (Vancouver) Vancouver and you went all the way down to San Diego. (Right) How far is that? How many miles?

Terry: Ah, depending on the route¹ that you take, it's about 1800 miles, give or take.

Todd: Man, so do you train before you do this?

Terry: Actually no. For this particular trip I didn't do any training. I just started out in, once, I took the bus from Salt Lake City up to Vancouver and got to the bus station in Vancouver and put my bicycle together, put the gear² on the bicycle. On the first day I rode, I only rode 25 miles and then I slowly increased the miles. So I guess it's kind of training as you go.

Todd: Man, that's incredible³. Now, is this the first bicycle trip you've ever done?

Terry: No, I've actually done five, I don't know, I've probably done four or five long trips in the United⁴ States.

Todd: Man, that's, do you always go along the West Coast?

Terry: No, no, I've, originally⁵, my first long trip was with a non-profit organization out of the United States -- Adventure Cycling, and we cycled the Trans-America trail⁶, as it's know. It goes from Yorktown, Virginia to Astoria, Oregon. That was a three month self contained camping trip with a group of about 13 people.

Todd: Wow, and you rode all the way from Virginia on the East Coast to Oregon on the West Coast. (Right) and how many miles was that?

Terry: Um, it's about 4,300 miles.

Todd: Oh,that's a long way. Wow!

Terry: But you just, it's like eating an elephant one bite at a time. One day at a time. Wow, that's cool.

Todd: All right, thanks. We'll talk more about your bicycle trip, but thanks Terri.

Terry: Sure.
