問題詳情:
The bicycle is the common sight in our daily life, as a great many Chinese use one every day. But you may not know its role in strengthening international relations, as it did in the case of US President George W. Bush's visit to China last November.
President Bush arrived in Beijing on November 19, 2005 after he finished the ApeC meeting in South KoreA.He met with Chinese top leaders and achieved agreements on trade, Taiwan issue and more.
Although Bush' s trip was short as 40 hours, he managed to spare a moment to do some cycling. On November 20, he rode up and down a steep path at Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing's suburbs.
Six young Chinese cyclists accompanied the president, who was dressed in a Chinese training uniform with the "Beijing 2008" logo (標誌). He did not go along the arranged route and chose a more zigzag(曲折的) hiking path.
"How do you say, 'take it easy on the old man' ?" Bush joked to his partners before setting out.
"Compared with my bike path on the Crawford ranch (農場) , this one is greater and really difficult," said Bush when his 45-minute ride endeD.He said he will come to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.
This is not Bush's first cycle ride in Beijing. In 1975 at the age of 29, he visited the Chinese capital for the first time, when his father was head of the US liaison office (聯絡處) in Beijing, which Bush described as "fantastic".
However, observers said Bush's ride is much more than just his favorite pastime. It expressed friendliness with people in China, where the bicycle is an important part of life and culture.
According to the Washington Post, one of the major newspapers in the US, this was a specially arranged activity by the US Government, for they want to send the Chinese a sign of friendship. "The president is by no means hostile (有敵意的) to China," it said.
