*第九篇 The First Bicycle 第一辆自行车 The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count(伯爵) de Sivrac delighted(使...喜悦) onlookers(观众) in a park in Paris as he showed off(炫耀) his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celeriferé. It was basically an enlarged (扩大) version of a children’s toy which had been in use(在使用中) for many years.
