共享单车放在哪里

你看看，楼下的人行道上停了十几辆共享单车，人都走不过去了。

Look at this. There are a dozen shared bikes parked on the pavement downstairs. People can't even get past.

阿姨，对不起，有一辆是我早上停的。我每天骑共享单车去地铁站，真的很方便。

Auntie, I'm sorry, one of them is mine from this morning. I ride a shared bike to the subway station every day. It really is convenient.

方便是方便，但是车停在人行道中间，走路的人怎么办？昨天有位邻居只能走到下面的马路上去，旁边都是车，多让人担心。

Convenient, sure. But when bikes are parked in the middle of the pavement, what are people on foot supposed to do? Yesterday a neighbor had to walk down on the road, with cars right beside her. That's worrying.

这个问题我也知道。但是我觉得这不只是我们的责任。附近没有地方停车，我们能把车停到哪里去呢？

I know about this problem. But I don't think it's only our responsibility. There's nowhere nearby to park. Where are we supposed to put the bikes?

没有地方就可以停在人行道中间吗？人行道是给人走的，不是给车停的。

So no space means you can park in the middle of the pavement? The pavement is for people to walk on, not for bikes to park on.

您说得对。但是公司把几千辆车放到街上，车最后停在哪里，他们不问。公司是不是也有责任？

You're right. But the company put thousands of bikes on the street, and where the bikes end up parked, they don't ask. Doesn't the company have responsibility too?

公司当然有责任。但是把车停好用不了一分钟，骑车的人自己也应该做好这件小事。

Of course the company has responsibility. But parking a bike properly takes less than a minute. The riders themselves should also do that one small thing.

那您觉得这个问题应该怎么解决？

Then how do you think this problem should be solved?

我觉得可以在路边画出停车的地方，大家把车停在里面，公司每天来把停错的车搬走。

I think they could paint out parking spots along the road. Everyone parks inside them, and the company comes every day to move the badly parked bikes.

这是个好办法。如果我停得不好，下次就要多花钱，我一定会把车停好。

That's a good idea. If parking badly meant paying more next time, I'd definitely park properly.

对，问题不大，就看大家做不做。共享单车是个好东西，别让它变成新的问题。

Right. The problem isn't big, it just depends on whether people do it. Shared bikes are a good thing. Don't let them turn into a new problem.

阿姨，我现在就下去，把我的车停好。

Auntie, I'll go down right now and park my bike properly.

好孩子。你去地铁站的时候，看到人行道上停错的车，也可以帮忙放好一辆。

Good kid. And on your way to the subway station, if you see a badly parked bike on the pavement, you can set one straight too.

好，每人每天放好一辆，这个问题很快就能解决了。

Deal. If everyone fixes one bike a day, this problem will be solved in no time.
