  • Food Delivery 外卖 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    中国的外卖非常发达。

    zhōng guó | de | wài mài | fēi cháng | fā dá

    Food delivery in China is extremely developed.


    你可以看到非常多的外卖员,

    nǐ | kě yǐ | kàn dào | fēi cháng duō | de | wài mài yuán

    You can see a lot of food delivery riders,


    他们骑车在路上,

    tā men | qí chē | zài | lù shàng

    riding their electric bikes on the roads


    或在小区里赶路。

    huò | zài | xiǎo qū | lǐ | gǎn lù

    or hurrying through residential areas.


    主要就是两大品牌的竞争,

    zhǔ yào | jiù shì | liǎng dà | pǐn pái | de | jìng zhēng

    The competition is mainly between two major brands,


    幕后都是大资本。

    mù hòu | dōu shì | dà | zī běn

    with large capital backing them behind the scenes.


    大多数的年轻人都会经常点外卖,

    dà duō shù | de | nián qīng rén | dōu huì | jīng cháng | diǎn | wài mài

    Most young people order takeout regularly,

    zhè yàng | jiǎn dān | de | jiě jué | yī dùn | fàn

    to simply settle a meal.


    同一个饭店,同样的菜品,

    tóng yī gè | fàn diàn | tóng yàng | de | cài pǐn

    For the same restaurant and the same dishes,


    外卖的价格要贵一点点,

    wài mài | de | jià gé | yào | guì | yī diǎn diǎn

    the takeout price is a bit more expensive—


    主要是因为平台要抽成,

    zhǔ yào | shì | yīn wèi | píng tái | yào | chōu chéng

    mainly because the platform charges a commission,


    所以商家要提价来维持自己的利润。

    suǒ yǐ | shāng jiā | yào | tí jià | lái | wéi chí | zì jǐ | de | lì rùn

    so merchants have to raise prices to maintain their profits.


    外卖员算是一个很灵活的工作,

    wài mài yuán | suàn shì | yī gè | hěn | líng huó | de | gōng zuò

    Being a food delivery rider is quite a flexible job.

    赚点小钱,或者体验生活。

    zhuàn diǎn | xiǎo qián | huò zhě | tǐ yàn | shēng huó

    to earn some extra money or experience life.


    有一些特殊的外卖员,

    yǒu | yī xiē | tè shū | de | wài mài yuán

    There are some special delivery riders,


    比如聋哑人、女性、

    bǐ rú | lóng yǎ rén | nǚ xìng

    such as deaf-mutes, women,


    甚至孕妇和带着孩子的人。

    shèn zhì | yùn fù | hé | dài zhe | hái zi | de | rén

    and even pregnant women and those with children.


    生活不易。

    shēng huó | bù yì

    Life is not easy.


    除了吃饭的外卖,

    chú le | chī fàn | de | wài mài

    In addition to food delivery,


    还有一些其它的即时配送,

    hái yǒu | yī xiē | qí tā | de | jí shí | pèi sòng

    there are also other instant delivery services,


    比如买药、买日用品、买菜

    bǐ rú | mǎi yào | mǎi | rì yòng pǐn | mǎi cài

    such as buying medicine, daily necessities, and groceries.


    还有山姆的即时配送,

    hái yǒu | shān mǔ | de | jí shí | pèi sòng

    There’s also Sam’s Club instant delivery,


    还有一种叫闪送,

    hái yǒu | yī zhǒng | jiào | shǎn sòng

    and another type called flash delivery—


    就是把一个东西从我家里,

    jiù shì | bǎ | yī gè | dōng xī | cóng | wǒ | jiā lǐ

    it means taking an item from my home


    马上送到你家里。

    mǎ shàng | sòng dào | nǐ | jiā lǐ

    and delivering it to your home immediately.


    这些都是我们经常会用到的服务,

    zhè xiē | dōu shì | wǒ men | jīng cháng | huì | yòng dào | de | fú wù

    These are all services we use frequently,


    极大地方便了我们的生活。

    jí dà | de | fāng biàn | le | wǒ men | de | shēng huó

    which greatly facilitates our lives.


    中国的外卖员已经有1500万,

    zhōng guó | de | wài mài yuán | yǐ jīng | yǒu | 1500 wàn

    The number of food delivery riders in China has reached 15 million,


    这个数字很庞大,

    zhè ge | shù zì | hěn | páng dà

    This figure is huge


    比有些国家的人口还多。

    bǐ | yǒu xiē | guó jiā | de | rén kǒu | hái | duō

    that is larger than the population of some countries.


    2025 年外卖日均订单量8000多万单,

    2025 nián | wài mài | rì jūn | dìng dān liàng | 8000 duō wàn | dān

    In 2025, the average daily number of takeout orders exceeds 80 million,


    真是人口基数太大了。

    zhēn shì | rén kǒu | jī shù | tài | dà | le

    truly a reflection of China’s enormous population base.

    Today I’m launching a new column.


    这里的节目只有中文

    zhè lǐ | de | jié mù | zhǐ yǒu | zhōng wén

    The content here is only in Chinese—


    不对每一句话做翻译

    bù | duì | měi yī jù | huà | zuò | fān yì

    I won’t translate every sentence.


    但是文字稿里面还是有拼音和英语

    dàn shì | wén zì gǎo | lǐ miàn | hái shì | yǒu | pīn yīn | hé | yīng yǔ

    but the script will still include Pinyin and English.


    还是第一遍慢速,第二遍快速

    hái shì | dì yī biàn | màn sù | dì èr biàn | kuài sù

    It will still be the first pass at a slow speed and the second pass at a fast speed.


    这个专栏可能更适合有基础的朋友

    zhè ge | zhuān lán | kě néng | gèng | shì hé | yǒu | jī chǔ | de | péng you

    This column may be more suitable for people with some Chinese foundation.


    我也想试一试不同的形式

    wǒ | yě | xiǎng | shì yī shì | bù tóng | de | xíng shì

    I also want to try a different format


    看看大家是否喜欢全中文的沉浸式内容

    kàn kàn | dà jiā | shì fǒu | xǐ huān | quán zhōng wén | de | chén jìn shì | nèi róng

    to see if everyone likes fully immersive Chinese-only content.


    那么我们今天就先聊聊全中文

    nà me | wǒ men | jīn tiān | jiù | xiān | liáo liáo | quán zhōng wén

    So today let’s first talk about fully Chinese content.


    我自己,以及给我孩子学英文

    wǒ | zì jǐ | yǐ jí | gěi | wǒ | hái zi | xué | yīng yǔ

    When I learn English myself, and when I teach my kids English,


    都喜欢全英文的方式

    dōu | xǐ huān | quán yīng yǔ | de | fāng shì

    I prefer the fully English approach.


    因为如果总是用母语去翻译

    yīn wèi | rú guǒ | zǒng shì | yòng | mǔ yǔ | qù | fān yì

    Because if you always use your native language to translate,


    会带来更多的阻碍

    huì | dài lái | gèng duō | de | zǔ ài

    it will create more obstacles.


    不同语言的思维方式不一样

    bù tóng | yǔ yán | de | sī wéi | fāng shì | bù yī yàng

    Different languages have different ways of thinking—


    有很多句子不能翻译出原本的意思

    yǒu | hěn duō | jù zi | bù néng | fān yì | chū | yuán běn | de | yì si

    many sentences can’t be translated to retain their original meaning.


    中文里有句话叫做

    zhōng wén | lǐ | yǒu | yī jù huà | jiào zuò

    There’s a saying in Chinese:


    只可意会,不可言传

    zhǐ kě | yì huì | bù kě | yán chuán

    "It can only be sensed, not expressed in words."


    我的其它节目都是

    wǒ | de | qí tā | jié mù | dōu shì

    All my other programs follow the format of


    一句中文接一句英文翻译

    yī jù | zhōng wén | jiē | yī jù | yīng yǔ | fān yì

    one Chinese sentence followed by an English translation.


    这是因为播客的局限性

    zhè | shì | yīn wèi | bō kè | de | jú xiàn xìng

    This is due to the limitations of podcasts.


    如果我做视频内容

    rú guǒ | wǒ | zuò | shì pín | nèi róng

    If I were to create video content,


    就不会给大家翻译

    jiù | bù huì | gěi | dà jiā | fān yì

    I wouldn’t provide translations for everyone.


    我今天看了一个视频

    wǒ | jīn tiān | kàn le | yī gè | shì pín

    Today I watched a video


    是一个英国人在自己的农场里

    shì | yī gè | yīng guó rén | zài | zì jǐ | de | nóng chǎng | lǐ

    where a British person, on his own farm,


    给英语学习者做沉浸式全英文演示

    gěi | yīng yǔ | xué xí zhě | zuò | chén jìn shì | quán yīng yǔ | yǎn shì

    gave an immersive fully English demonstration for English learners.


    这样的形式非常好

    zhè yàng | de | xíng shì | fēi cháng | hǎo

    This format is very good,


    但是我也发现了问题

    dàn shì | wǒ | yě | fā xiàn | le | wèn tí

    but I also noticed some problems.


    第一,初学者会有很多词句听不懂

    dì yī | chū xué zhě | huì | yǒu | hěn duō | cí jù | tīng bù dǒng

    First, there are many words and sentences that beginners won’t understand.


    第二,对于我这样的非初学者

    dì èr | duì yú | wǒ | zhè yàng | de | fēi chū xué zhě

    Second, for non-beginners like me,


    我全都能听懂

    wǒ | quán dōu | néng | tīng dǒng

    I can understand them all,


    但是这就意义不大了

    dàn shì | zhè | jiù | yì yì | bù dà | le

    but it’s not very meaningful.


    第三,就算听懂了

    dì sān | jiù suàn | tīng dǒng | le

    Third, even if you understand,


    叫观众自己说,还是不会

    jiào | guān zhòng | zì jǐ | shuō | hái shì | bù huì

    when asked to speak yourself, you still can’t.


    因为听力和口语是两回事

    yīn wèi | tīng lì | hé | kǒu yǔ | shì | liǎng huí shì

    Because listening and speaking are two different things.


    那么就需要用到非常好用的

    nà me | jiù | xū yào | yòng dào | fēi cháng | hǎo yòng | de

    So we need to use the very effective method of


    影子跟读

    yǐng zi | gēn dú

    shadowing.


    而且需要反复多次跟读练习

    ér qiě | xū yào | fǎn fù | duō cì | gēn dú | liàn xí

  • [ News Clips 4 ] Woman Drops 14kg in Island Survival Contest 女生参加海岛求生赛瘦28斤 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    Recently, wilderness survival competitions have become extremely popular.

    This 25-year-old girl is a salesperson.

    She once worried about how to lose two catties in half a month,


    如今靠一场荒野求生赛,

    rú jīn | kào | yī chǎng | huāng yě | qiú shēng | sài

    but now through a wilderness survival competition,


    35天狂减28斤。

    35 tiān | kuáng jiǎn | 28 jīn

    she lost 28 catties in 35 days.


    在岛上独自生存的35天里,

    zài | dǎo shàng | dú zì | shēng cún | de | 35 tiān | lǐ

    During the 35 days of surviving alone on the island,


    她捡海胆、螃蟹、鲍鱼吃。

    tā | jiǎn | hǎi dǎn | páng xiè | bào yú | chī

    she picked and ate sea urchins, crabs, and abalones.


    更是大胆尝试吃老鼠,

    gèng shì | dà dǎn | cháng shì | chī | lǎo shǔ

    She even boldly tried eating mice,


    35天累计吃掉50只。

    35 tiān | lěi jì | chī diào | 50 zhī

    A total of 50 in 35 days.


    还第一次独自猎杀山羊,

    hái | dì yī cì | dú zì | liè shā | shān yáng

    She also hunted a goat alone for the first time,


    吃蜈蚣等野生食物。

    chī | wú gōng | děng | yě shēng | shí wù

    and ate centipedes and other wild foods.


    40℃高温让她晒脱两层皮,

    40℃ | gāo wēn | ràng | tā | shài tuō | liǎng céng | pí

    The 40℃ high temperature made her skin peel off twice,


    自嘲变身 “黑皮辣妹”;

    zì cháo | biàn shēn | “hēi pí | là mèi”

    and she joked that she had transformed into a "tan hot girl";


    蚊虫叮咬引发了脚部感染,

    wén chóng | dīng yǎo | yǐn fā | le | jiǎo bù | gǎn rǎn

    Mosquito bites caused a foot infection,

    比起硬核的张家界荒野求生赛,

    bǐ qǐ | yìng hé | de | zhāng jiā jiè | huāng yě | qiú shēng | sài

    Compared with the tough Zhangjiajie wilderness survival competition,


    这次的海岛求生赛更加温和,

    zhè cì | de | hǎi dǎo | qiú shēng | sài | gèng jiā | wēn hé

    this island survival competition is more moderate.


    目前比赛仍未结束,

    仍有两名男选手在坚持。

    réng | yǒu | liǎng míng | nán xuǎn shǒu | zài | jiān chí

    and two male contestants are still persisting.

  • Frustrated with Learning Chinese 学中文崩溃 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    我看到一些视频

    wǒ | kàn dào | yī xiē | shì pín

    I saw some videos.


    就是很多人学中文崩溃

    jiù shì | hěn duō | rén | xué | zhōng wén | bēng kuì

    that many people feel frustrated while learning Chinese.


    觉得中文好难

    jué de | zhōng wén | hǎo | nán

    They think Chinese is really difficult.


    有的人说自己学了好多年

    yǒu | de | rén | shuō | zì jǐ | xué le | hǎo duō | nián

    Some people say they’ve been learning it for years,


    却还是很难

    què | hái shì | hěn | nán

    but it’s still very hard.


    我想说的是

    wǒ | xiǎng | shuō | de | shì

    What I want to say is,


    不要被这些情绪影响

    bù yào | bèi | zhè xiē | qíng xù | yǐng xiǎng

    don’t be affected by these emotions.


    你只需要大量地输入

    nǐ | zhǐ | xū yào | dà liàng | de | shū rù

    You just need a lot of input,


    大量地模仿

    dà liàng | de | mó fǎng

    and a lot of imitation.


    中国人从小学开始学英语

    zhōng guó rén | cóng | xiǎo xué | kāi shǐ | xué | yīng yǔ

    Chinese people start learning English in primary school,


    到大学毕业,通常会学十几年

    dào | dà xué | bì yè | tōng cháng | huì | xué | shí jǐ | nián

    and usually study it for more than ten years until graduating from university.


    但是英语好的人少之又少

    dàn shì | yīng yǔ | hǎo | de | rén | shǎo zhī yòu shǎo

    but very few people have good English skills.


    就算考试成绩好

    jiù suàn | kǎo shì | chéng jì | hǎo

    Even if they get good exam results,


    也是哑巴英语

    yě shì | yǎ bā | yīng yǔ

    it’s still "mute English" (passive English with poor speaking ability).


    我就是其中之一

    wǒ | jiù shì | qí zhōng | zhī yī

    I’m one of them.


    这是我们教学方法的严重问题

    zhè | shì | wǒ men | jiào xué | fāng fǎ | de | yán zhòng | wèn tí

    This is a serious problem with our teaching methods.


    咱们今天不讨论这个

    zán men | jīn tiān | bù | tǎo lùn | zhè ge

    We won’t discuss this today.


    我想说的是

    wǒ | xiǎng | shuō | de | shì

    What I want to say is,


    只要是学一门外语

    zhǐ yào | shì | xué | yī mén | wài yǔ

    as long as you’re learning a foreign language,


    都会觉得很难

    dōu huì | jué de | hěn | nán

    you’ll find it difficult.


    就算中文可能难度更大

    jiù suàn | zhōng wén | kě néng | nán dù | gèng dà

    Even if Chinese may be more difficult,


    但也不必用负面情绪来消磨意志

    dàn | yě | bù bì | yòng | fù miàn | qíng xù | lái | xiāo mó | yì zhì

    there’s no need to let negative emotions weaken your will.


    通过养育我的孩子

    tōng guò | yǎng yù | wǒ | de | hái zi

    Through raising my children,


    我发现了学语言的秘密

    wǒ | fā xiàn | le | xué | yǔ yán | de | mì mì

    I discovered the secret to learning a language.


    真的就是重复

    zhēn de | jiù shì | chóng fù

    It’s really just repetition.


    孩子每天听着大人说话

    hái zi | měi tiān | tīng zhe | dà rén | shuō huà

    Children listen to adults speak every day,


    就模仿着说

    jiù | mó fǎng | zhe | shuō

    and imitate them.


    说错了,大人也不会批评他

    shuō cuò | le | dà rén | yě | bù huì | pī píng | tā

    If they say something wrong, adults won’t criticize them;


    反而会夸他

    fǎn ér | huì | kuā | tā

    instead, they’ll praise them.


    孩子就在无数的错误中,慢慢找到了正确的路

    hái zi | jiù zài | wú shù | de | cuò wù | zhōng màn màn | zhǎo dào | le | zhèng què | de | lù

    Children gradually find the right way through countless mistakes.


    而我们在学英语的时候

    ér | wǒ men | zài | xué | yīng yǔ | de | shí hou

    But when we learn English,


    会有无数人来批评你、纠正你

    huì | yǒu | wú shù | rén | lái | pī píng | nǐ | jiū zhèng | nǐ

    countless people will criticize you and correct you,


    甚至嘲笑你的发音

    shèn zhì | cháo xiào | nǐ | de | fā yīn

    and even laugh at your pronunciation.


    这样学英语就有了更大的阻碍

    zhè yàng | xué | yīng yǔ | jiù | yǒu le | gèng dà | de | zǔ ài

    This creates even bigger obstacles to learning English.


    朋友们

    péng you men

    My friends,


    语言只是一个交流工具

    yǔ yán | zhǐ shì | yī gè | jiāo liú | gōng jù

    language is just a communication tool.


    大胆地去说吧

    dà dǎn | de | qù | shuō | ba

    Speak boldly,


    不要过多地在意语法这些东西

    bù yào | guò duō | de | zài yì | yǔ fǎ | zhè xiē | dōng xī

    and don’t care too much about things like grammar.


    如果你到过中国

    rú guǒ | nǐ | dào guo | zhōng guó

    If you’ve been to China,


    你会发现

    nǐ | huì | fā xiàn

    you’ll find that


    中国人对外国人的中文非常包容

    zhōng guó rén | duì | wài guó rén | de | zhōng wén | fēi cháng | bāo róng

    Chinese people are very tolerant of foreigners’ Chinese.


    你能说个“你好”

    nǐ | néng | shuō | ge | “nǐ hǎo”

    If you can say "hello",


    大家都觉得你好棒

    dà jiā | dōu | jué de | nǐ | hǎo bàng

    everyone will think you’re amazing.

  • Buffet 自助餐 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    那天我们去商场

    nà tiān | wǒ men | qù | shāng chǎng

    That day we went to the mall,


    又看到了那家很大的自助餐厅

    yòu | kàn dào | le | nà jiā | hěn dà | de | zì zhù cān tīng

    and saw that big buffet restaurant again.


    这个餐厅很多年前我们吃过

    zhè ge | cān tīng | hěn duō nián qián | wǒ men | chī guo

    We ate at this restaurant many years ago—


    那时候一百多一个人

    nà shí hou | yī bǎi duō | yī gè rén

    it was over a hundred yuan per person back then,


    算是高档一点的自助餐厅了

    suàn shì | gāo dàng | yī diǎn | de | zì zhù cān tīng | le

    which was considered a relatively high-end buffet.


    菜品很丰富

    cài pǐn | hěn | fēng fù

    The dishes were very abundant,


    有很多海鲜

    yǒu | hěn duō | hǎi xiān

    with plenty of seafood.


    我们有很多年没吃过自助餐了

    wǒ men | yǒu | hěn duō nián | méi chī guo | zì zhù cān | le

    We haven’t eaten at a buffet for many years,


    有几方面的原因

    yǒu | jǐ fāng miàn | de | yuán yīn

    for several reasons.


    第一,没有新鲜感了

    dì yī | méi yǒu | xīn xiān gǎn | le

    First, there’s no sense of novelty anymore.


    刚开始觉得很新鲜

    gāng kāi shǐ | jué de | hěn | xīn xiān

    At first, we thought it was very fresh;


    贵的便宜的自助餐都吃过

    guì de | pián yi | de | zì zhù cān | dōu | chī guo

    we’ve tried both expensive and cheap buffets,


    多吃几次也就那样了

    duō chī | jǐ cì | yě jiù | nà yàng | le

    and after eating them a few times, there’s nothing special.


    第二,低质的平价自助餐厅

    dì èr | dī zhì | de | píng jià | zì zhù cān tīng

    Second, low-quality affordable buffets.


    有很多平价的自助餐厅

    yǒu | hěn duō | píng jià | de | zì zhù cān tīng

    There are many affordable buffets,


    一个人只需要几十元

    yī gè rén | zhǐ | xū yào | jǐ shí yuán

    costing only tens of yuan per person.


    虽然种类也算丰富

    suī rán | zhǒng lèi | yě suàn | fēng fù

    Although the variety is also abundant,


    但是品质堪忧

    dàn shì | pǐn zhì | kān yōu

    the quality is worrying—


    吃过一次就不想再吃第二次

    chī guo | yī cì | jiù | bù xiǎng | zài chī | dì èr cì

    you won’t want to eat there a second time after trying it once.


    第三,健康饮食理念

    dì sān | jiàn kāng | yǐn shí | lǐ niàn

    Third, the concept of healthy eating.


    越来越多的人讲究健康生活

    yuè lái yuè duō | de | rén | jiǎng jiū | jiàn kāng | shēng huó

    More and more people pursue a healthy lifestyle,


    或者是我们年龄大了

    huò zhě | shì | wǒ men | nián líng | dà le

    or maybe we’re getting older,


    不想胡吃海塞

    bù xiǎng | hú chī hǎi sāi

    and don’t want to overeat.


    为了“把钱吃回来”

    wèi le | “bǎ qián | chī huí lái”

    In order to "get your money’s worth",


    要吃好多进肚子里

    yào | chī | hǎo duō | jìn | dù zi | lǐ

    you have to eat a lot,


    对健康有害

    duì | jiàn kāng | yǒu hài

    which is harmful to health,


    反而得不偿失

    fǎn ér | dé bù cháng shī

    and ultimately not worth it.


    我们每次住酒店

    wǒ men | měi cì | zhù | jiǔ diàn

    Every time we stay at a hotel,


    还是会吃自助早餐的

    hái shì | huì | chī | zì zhù zǎo cān | de

    we still eat the breakfast buffet,


    偶尔也会吃自助晚餐

    ǒu ěr | yě | huì | chī | zì zhù wǎn cān

    and occasionally the dinner buffet.


    五星级的自助餐还是有品质保障的

    wǔ xīng jí | de | zì zhù cān | hái shì | yǒu | pǐn zhì | bǎo zhàng | de

    Five-star hotel buffets still have quality assurance,


    但是常常都是想大吃一顿

    dàn shì | cháng cháng | dōu shì | xiǎng | dà chī | yī dùn

    but we often intend to eat a big meal,


    结果吃不了多少

    jié guǒ | chī bù liǎo | duō shao

    only to end up not being able to eat much.

  • Electric Bikes 电瓶车 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    上次我们讲了常见的交通工具

    shàng cì | wǒ men | jiǎng le | cháng jiàn | de | jiāo tōng | gōng jù

    Last time we talked about common means of transportation.


    今天就来讲讲电瓶车

    jīn tiān | jiù lái | jiǎng jiǎng | diàn dòng chē

    Today we'll talk about electric bikes.


    电瓶车太好用了

    diàn dòng chē | tài | hǎo yòng | le

    Electric bikes are so useful.


    自从我买了电瓶车

    zì cóng | wǒ | mǎi le | diàn dòng chē

    Since I bought an electric bike,


    就常常骑它

    jiù | cháng cháng | qí | tā

    I ride it very often.


    电瓶车和摩托车有点像

    diàn dòng chē | hé | mó tuō chē | yǒu diǎn | xiàng

    Electric bikes are a bit like motorcycles,


    不过摩托车是加油的

    bù guò | mó tuō chē | shì | jiā yóu | de

    but motorcycles run on gasoline,


    而且开起来突突突地响

    ér qiě | kāi qǐ lái | tū tū tū | de | xiǎng

    and they make a "putt-putt" sound when driving.


    电瓶车是充电的

    diàn dòng chē | shì | chōng diàn | de

    Electric bikes are charged with electricity,


    而且现在的电瓶车做的很小巧

    ér qiě | xiàn zài | de | diàn dòng chē | zuò de | hěn | xiǎo qiǎo

    and now electric bikes are made very compact.


    不需要考证就可以骑

    bù xū yào | kǎo zhèng | jiù | kě yǐ | qí

    You can ride them without needing a license.


    我回想起来

    wǒ | huí xiǎng qǐ lái

    I look back,


    为什么没有早点买电瓶车呢

    wèi shén me | méi yǒu | zǎo diǎn | mǎi | diàn dòng chē | ne

    why didn't I buy an electric bike earlier?


    电瓶车用来接送孩子也很好用

    diàn dòng chē | yòng lái | jiē sòng | hái zi | yě | hěn | hǎo yòng

    Electric bikes are also great for picking up and dropping off kids.


    我在电瓶车后座上装了两个扶手

    wǒ | zài | diàn dòng chē | hòu zuò | shàng zhuāng le | liǎng gè | fú shǒu

    I installed two armrests on the back seat of the electric bike,


    在我的前面加了一个专用的小凳

    zài | wǒ de | qián miàn | jiā le | yī gè | zhuān yòng | de | xiǎo dèng

    and added a special small stool in front of me,


    这样就可以带着两个孩子了

    zhè yàng | jiù | kě yǐ | dài zhe | liǎng gè | hái zi | le

    so I can take both kids with me.


    电瓶车的缺点是

    diàn dòng chē | de | quē diǎn | shì

    The disadvantages of electric bikes are


    风吹、日晒、雨淋

    fēng chuī | rì shài | yǔ lín

    wind, sun, and rain exposure.


    所以在春天和秋天不下雨的时候

    suǒ yǐ | zài | chūn tiān | hé | qiū tiān | bù xià yǔ | de | shí hou

    So when it doesn't rain in spring and autumn,


    骑起来最舒适

    qí qǐ lái | zuì | shū shì

    riding them is the most comfortable.


    它的优点是

    tā de | yōu diǎn | shì

    Its advantages are


    想停哪里就停哪里

    xiǎng | tíng | nǎ lǐ | jiù | tíng | nǎ lǐ

    you can park wherever you want,


    骑在路上也非常灵活

    qí zài | lù shàng | yě | fēi cháng | líng huó

    and it's very flexible when riding on the road.


    在城市路上的电瓶车

    zài | chéng shì | lù shàng | de | diàn dòng chē

    Most electric bikes on urban roads


    大多数都是外卖员

    dà duō shù | dōu shì | wài mài yuán

    are ridden by food delivery riders.


    因为现在的外卖太发达了

    yīn wèi | xiàn zài | de | wài mài | tài | fā dá | le

    Because the food delivery industry is so developed now,


    有非常多的外卖员在路上跑

    yǒu | fēi cháng duō | de | wài mài yuán | zài | lù shàng | pǎo

    there are a lot of delivery riders rushing on the roads.


    他们的速度很快

    tā men | de | sù dù | hěn kuài

    They ride very fast,


    一定要小心

    yī dìng | yào | xiǎo xīn

    so you must be careful.


    很多家长接送孩子就是骑的电瓶车

    hěn duō | jiā zhǎng | jiē sòng | hái zi | jiù shì | qí de | diàn dòng chē

    Many parents ride electric bikes to pick up and drop off their kids,


    还有一些骑三轮电瓶车

    hái yǒu | yī xiē | qí | sān lún | diàn dòng chē

    and some ride three-wheeled electric bikes.


    有罩子,就不怕日晒雨淋

    yǒu | zhào zi | jiù | bù pà | rì shài | yǔ lín

    These have canopies, so they don't have to worry about sun and rain.


    还有些三轮车全身都是金属材料

    hái yǒu | xiē | sān lún chē | quán shēn | dōu shì | jīn shǔ | cái liào

    Some three-wheeled bikes are made entirely of metal,


    像一个迷你的小汽车

    xiàng | yī gè | mí nǐ | de | xiǎo qì chē

    like a mini car,


    而且做得越来越漂亮

    ér qiě | zuò de | yuè lái yuè | piào liang

    and they are made more and more beautiful.


    最后,给大家分享一首歌

    zuì hòu | gěi | dà jiā | fēn xiǎng | yī shǒu | gē

    Finally, I'd like to share a song with everyone.


    它唱的是

    tā | chàng de | shì

    The lyrics go:


    骑上我心爱的小摩托

    qí shàng | wǒ | xīn ài | de | xiǎo mó tuō

    Ride on my beloved little motorcycle,


    它永远不会堵车

    tā | yǒng yuǎn | bù huì | dǔ chē

    it will never get stuck in traffic.
