When our daughter was big enough to ride on the back of my bicycle, I bought a special carrier with a seat belt and got her a little helmet. The day of the first ride I put her in the seat, double-checked all the equipment, wheeled the bike to the end of the driveway, carefully looked both ways and, swinging my leg up over the crossbar, accidentally kicked her in the chin.
當我的女兒大到可以坐在我的自行車后面的時候,我買了一個專用的、有安全帶的車座,并且給她買了一頂小頭盔。第一次騎的那一天,我把她放在車座上,認真檢查了所有的裝備,推著自行車到私人車道的盡頭,小心地看了看兩邊的車輛,然后把腿甩過橫梁,卻一不小心踢到了我女兒的下巴。
