2013年ESL之旅行交通购物 02 Poor Road Conditions

（单词翻译）

Poor Road Conditions 

Alice: I’m really glad I let you talk me into going for a bike ride. It’s been years since I’ve been on a bicycle. 

Sam: This is the only way to travel. You get to really see the scenery and enjoy the fresh air. 

Alice: Hey, watch out! You almost dropped into that huge pothole¹. This asphalt is cracked and the road is all bumpy². 

Sam: Thanks for the warning. Yeah, this asphalt really needs to be repaired. I’d ride on the gravel³ path instead, but it’s full of ruts. Oh, slow down! There’s a big dip ahead. 

Alice: Whoa! I didn’t see that coming. I almost lost control on that slippery section of road. Sorry, I nearly swerved⁴ into you. Are you okay? 

Sam: Yeah, I’m fine. When I suggested this route, I was sure it would be an easy ride since it’s paved all the way. I didn’t bargain for these lousy road conditions. 

Alice: We’ll just have to keep our eyes open and be thankful for these crash helmets! 

Sam: You won’t blame me if you go flying, will you? 

Alice: Not if you break my fall.
