The Most Important Four Vehicles In My Life
我人生中最重要的四种交通工具
Currently there are various means of transport, including bike, motorcycle, car ,bus, taxi, train, plane and so forth, which differ in type，size, color, shape, and function. Of all the vehicles, four matter in my life. The reasons are as follows:
现在有很多种不同的交通方式，比如：自行车、摩托车、私家车、公交车、的士火车、飞机等等。这些车种类繁多、形态各异、颜色不一、色彩多样、功能不一。在这些交通工具中，有四种在我生活中是最重要的，原因如下：
Single Block 独轮车
It was said that my grandfather and my father pulled the single block with extremely great strength, with my mother sitting on it, so as to send my mother from the small village to the Pengpai Hospital in the county. As soon as they arrived, my mother gave birth to me immediately. To tell you the truth, it was 16 kilometers from my hometown to that hospital ! Furthermore, it took them approximately six hours to get there on foot. When I hear of that, I burst into laughter, not because of the long distance but the single block.
My mother added one evening her vomb ached. However, I didn't come out for two days. Staying inside my mom, maybe my arms patiently crossed ,waiting ,waiting and wondering when I should come to this cosmos. Under such a situation, my grandmother went to worship the God. God said I was special, for the reason that I longed to be born in the fairly big city rather than the small village. Then they did as the God had said. Unfortunately, the path was muddy and full of weeds owning to its not being built. What's worse, even the motorcycle was rarely seen at that time and the only vehicle they could reach in the midnight was the single block at home.
Therefore, it was the single block that helped my mother bring me to this world. I deeply knew how uneasy it was for my mother to bear me; how difficult my father and grandfather should be carrying my mother to the hospital 16 kilometers away by the single block on foot; how fortunate I was coming to this cosmos! Thanks, my mom and dad! Thanks, my grandfather! And of course, thanks the single block!
据说当年我爷爷和我爸爸是用力拉着独轮车，把我妈妈从村里送到县城的彭湃医院里去。他们一到达医院，我妈妈就很快生了我。实话告诉你，从我家乡到县城这个医院有16公里，而且他们徒步了大约六个小时才到达。每当我听到这儿的时候我都会笑起来，不是因为这很长的一段距离，而是那个独轮车。
我妈妈补充道，有一天晚上她的肚子疼得非常厉害。然而两天后，我还没有出来。也许我呆在我妈妈的肚子里面双臂交叉，耐心地在等待、等待，考虑着我应该什么时候来到这个世界。在这种情况下我奶奶就去拜神。神说我很特别，因为我想要出生在一个相对比较大的城市里面而不是在小农村里，然后他们按照神的旨意做。不幸的事，那时候道路都是泥泞的，而且杂草丛生，因为那时候的路还没修，更糟糕的是，即使是摩托车在那时候也是比较罕见，他们唯一能触手可及的交通工具就是家里那辆独轮车。
所以正是那辆独轮车，帮助我妈妈把我带到这个世界。我深深的知道：我妈妈怀我是多么不容易！我爷爷和爸爸，他们徒步用那辆车把我妈妈拉到十六公里远的医院里面是多么的艰难！我是多么幸运能来到这个世上！谢谢我的爸爸妈妈!谢谢我的爷爷!当然也要谢谢那辆独轮车。
Bike自行车
In the early 1990s, the bike in fashion wasn't as beautiful as today's. Instead, it was cumbersome in addition to its big size. The first time I saw a bike was 20years ago, when I was at the age of seven. During those days my father was a businessman，making a thriving business out of selling a variety of fruits and vegetables. Besides, he set out early and returned late, toiling the day, only to make us live from hand to mouth. The only vehicle they had to do business was the 28-size-bike. Everyday he would ride his bike out , and thread his way among the throngs of people entering and leaving the market. There was no doubt that my mother became his devoted fan as well as his girl Friday.
As a consequence, bike became the most important vehicle during those hard years to support the whole family. Meanwhile, I learnt to take good care of my two younger brothers and younger sister, and also do the chores, such as cooking, washing the clothes, making the bed ,etc. The poor children manage household affairs earlier.
在二十世纪九十年代初期，盛行的自行车并不像今天的那么漂亮，相反，它很笨重而且尺寸很大。我第一次见到自行车是20年前，那时候我才七岁。那时候我爸爸是一个商人，卖着各种各样的水果和蔬菜。每天他都会早出晚归，辛勤劳作，但是呢也只能勉强糊口。每次他出去做生意，唯一的工具就是他那28寸的自行车，每天他都会骑着他的自行车出去穿梭在集市熙熙攘攘的人群中，来来回回。毫无疑问我妈妈成为他的铁杆粉丝以及得力助手。
因此在我爸爸养家糊口的那段艰难的岁月里，自行车就成为了最重要的工具。与此同时，我还学会了照顾我的两个弟弟和妹妹。我还开始做起了家务，比如：炒菜做饭、洗衣服、整理床单等等。也许穷人家的孩子早当家吧！
文化链接: “Man Friday”的意思就是“得力、忠诚的助手”。这个说法源自小说《鲁滨逊漂流记》。Friday原本是个被其他部落俘虏的野人，被鲁滨逊救了出来。由于是星期五救的，于是起名叫Friday。从此，Friday就成了鲁滨逊忠实的仆人。而“man Friday”后来就演变成了得力助手的代名词。如果助手是女性，就叫“girl Friday”。
Motorcycle 摩托车
When I became a middle school student, my father had to struggle hard to make more money to pay for the school fees. My two younger brothers as well as my younger sister all went to school. The Nine Year Compulsory Education system hadn't been implemented in China. Four children's going to school further increased the economic burden. My father had to change his occupation, from businessman to driver. He worked earlier than before, and went home so late, rotating around the clock. One day ,when the hurricane arrived, he was out as usual. My mother suggested him staying at home, but my father didn't follow her advice. He said angrily ,"If I have a rest , what can we do with the children's school fees?!" That day, I saw him steering his motorcycle，farther and farther from me, with the shadow of his back left. What impressed me most was that his motorcycle was trembling with the strong winds blowing furiously. It was the first time that I had initiated to worried about him from the bottom of my heart. Never will I forget that scene!
Certainly, we also had joyful moments with the motorcycle. It was rather convenient for the family outing .On Mid-autumn Festival or the New Year my father would drive us to visit the friends and relatives , and on occasion he would take us to the school or the supermarket or the bookstore.
As a result, motorcycle played an important role in my family. It made my father earn money to pay for the school fees and further attributed to the close relationship between each other.
当我上初中的时候我爸爸就不得不更加努力的挣钱来给我们交学费。我的两个弟弟和我的妹妹，还有我全部都上学了，那时候还没有实行九年义务教育，四个孩子一起上学加重了家庭的经济负担。我爸爸不得不改变他的职业，从商人变成了司机。他比以前更早出去更晚回来。有一天台风来的时候他都像往常一样开车出去，我妈妈建议他呆在家里面，但是我爸爸没有听从他的建议。他很生气的说：“如果我休息，那么孩子的学费怎么办呢？”那天我看着他开着他的摩托车离我越来越远，留下他的背影。使我印象最深刻的是那辆摩托车在狂风的吹拂下不断地颤抖着。这是第一次我打从心里担心我的爸爸。我永远都不会忘记那一幕！
当然，有了摩托车,我们也度过了一些快乐的时光。有了它，就更方便我们的家庭外出了。中秋节或者新年到来，我爸爸都会开车载我们去亲戚朋友那里去拜年，有时候呢，他也会带我们去学校或者超市或者是书店。
所以，在那个时候摩托车在我家中扮演了重要的角色。它使我的爸爸可以挣钱付我们的学费，而且使得我们家里人联系更加紧密。
Car私家车
The rapid development of economy and technology enables the car companies to manufacture cars on a large scale at a cheap price. For the first time, cars were affordable for most of the Chinese family.As for me, I didn't know much about cars until someday I paid attention to a popular saying ,“I would rather sit in the BMW car crying than sit in the back of bicycle smiling.” It was funny , said by Ma Nuo from If You Are The One. As a result, the first type of car I knew was BMW.Luckily the first car I sat on was also BMW. Last year, my husband steer the car taking me to do the pregnancy examination, with the purpose of checking the guy in my vomb was female or male. And it turned out to be a girl.
On the evening of sep.17th,2016,my vomb ached badly. As my husband was out on business in Shenzhen, my grandparents-in-law asked my seventh antie and her husband to send me to the Pengpai Hospital, where I was born 27 years ago.The next day I gave birth to my dear daughter. It was his car that drove me there.
However, things were different this time. 27 years ago, it took my mom nearly six hours to reach the hospital by the single block, but just fifteen minutes by car. How fast and convenient it was!
经济和科技的高速发展使得大多数的汽车公司能够实现大规模低成本的汽车制造，汽车也首度成为，中国大多数家庭都买得起的物件。然而,对于我来说,我对车的了解几乎很少很少。直到有一天我看到一句话:“宁愿坐在宝马上哭也不愿坐在自行车上笑。”这是非诚勿扰女嘉宾马诺说的一句话。所以，我所知道的第一种车就是宝马，幸运的是我坐的第一辆车也是宝马。去年我老公带着我去孕检，检查我肚子里的孩子是男的还是女的，结果是女的。
2016年9月17日晚上，我的肚子疼的非常厉害，因为我老公不在家，所以我家公家婆叫我小姑子和她的老公开车送我去澎湃医院（我27年前出生的那个医院）。第2天我就顺利地生下了我亲爱的女儿。这一次也是因为私家车，我才到达医院。
然而，这一次跟以往很不同。27年前我妈坐独轮车花费六个小时才到达医院，而我做私家车只花了十五分钟就到达了医院。这是多么方便快捷呀!
From past till now, the appearance of various kinds of vehicles have witnessed the rapid development of economy and technology. From the single block to the car, I benefit a lot. I wish there will be more and more new vehicles in the years to come. Only in this way can our civilians' life more and more convenient.
从过去到现在，不同交通工具的出现见证了我国经济和科技的发展。从独轮车到私家车，我受益良多。我希望在未来将会有更多新的交通方式。这样，我们老百姓的生活才会更加方便。
