Voice 1: In Kampala, Uganda speed is everything. One of the fastest taxis in the world is the boda-boda in Kampala. This kind of taxi provides a fun ride around the town. Passengers do not have to wait in traffic. Some boda-boda drivers even drive on the sides of the roads and between cars. Boda-bodas became popular in the nineteen-sixties. At that time it was difficult to find transport across the border between Uganda and Kenya. People paid men to take them across the border on two-wheeled bicycles. This is how they got the name boda-boda — from border. Now, boda-bodas have engines. So these new boda-bodas are motorcycles.
声音1：在乌干达坎帕拉，速度就是一切。世界上最快的出租车之一是坎帕拉的“博达博达”。乘坐这种出租车在城里游玩很有趣。乘客不必在车流中等待。一些“博达博达”司机甚至会在路边和车与车之间穿行。“博达博达”从上世纪60年代开始流行。当时很难找到穿越乌干达和肯尼亚边界的运输工具。人们花钱雇人骑两轮自行车带他们过边境。“博达博达”这个名字正是源于边境。现在，“博达博达”安装了引擎。因此，这些新的“博达博达”是摩托车。
However, criminals have been attacking boda boda drivers and their passengers. The criminals want to steal the motorcycles. Sometimes boda boda drivers died in these attacks. For these reasons the Ugandan government banned boda-bodas from travelling after eleven o'clock at night. But some drivers still drive them illegally. They turn off their lights and continue to make trips. The government in Uganda is talking about banning boda-bodas completely. The drivers hope this does not happen. Boda-bodas are part of their way of life.
然而，犯罪分子一直在袭击“博达博达”司机和他们的乘客。罪犯想偷摩托车。有时“博达博达”司机会死于这些袭击。基于这些原因，乌干达政府禁止“博达博达”在晚上11点以后出行。但仍有一些司机违规驾驶。他们会关上车灯，继续载客。乌干达政府正在讨论完全禁止“博达博达”。司机们希望这不会发生。“博达博达”已成为他们生活方式的一部分。
Voice 2: Jeepneys! Tuk-tuks! Vaporetti! Boda-Bodas! These forms of transport have been shaped by where they are. Maybe you have an example where you live?
声音2：吉普尼！三轮摩托车！水上出租车！“博达博达”！这些运输方式由它们所在的地点决定。也许你生活的地方有另一种出租车？
