Dan and Morley hitch a ride in a blue truck
　　Morley: I'm glad this guy picked us up.
　　Dan: I called Kathy and told her we'd be in Chiaoshi in about twenty minutes.
　　Morley: What a shame we couldn't ride this section.
　　Dan: It's all my fault. I'll buy a pump tonight.
　　Morley: So what should we do tonight to celebrate our first day of riding?
　　Dan: Chiaoshi is a big hot spring town. We could go to one and then sing and drink at a karaoke bar.
　　Morley: Sounds like a plan, Stan.

　　阿丹跟莫理坐上一台蓝色货车搭便车
　　莫理：真庆幸这家伙愿意载我们。
　　阿丹：我打电话跟卡西说了我们大约二十分钟会到礁溪。
　　莫理：真可惜我们不能骑这一段。
　　阿丹：都是我的错。我今晚会买一个打气筒。
　　莫理：所以我们今晚要做什么来庆祝第一天的单车之行？
　　阿丹：礁溪是个温泉重镇。我们可以去洗个温泉，然后去卡拉OK店唱歌喝酒。
　　莫理：这计划听起来不错。

　　Morley: Maybe it's because of that race. I should told you I used to be a bike messenger.
　　Dan: [Gets a flat tire] Hey, I got a flat. Let's pull over and change it.
　　Morley: I've got the spare tube. Did you remember to bring the pump?
　　Dan: I knew I forgot something.
