Da Qiang, what's up with that bike you lent me before? It fell apart before I'd hardly even ridden it.
你不会小心点儿骑吗

Can't you ride a little more carefully?
我怎么不小心啊你那辆车除了铃儿不响其他哪儿都响这就算了可我才骑了五分钟脚蹬子就掉了链条也断了

How was I not careful? That bike of yours – the bell doesn't make any sound, but the rest of it sure does. That wasn't a big deal, but then after riding it for 5 minutes, the pedal fell off and the chain snapped.
哎呀坏了就扔了吧反正是二手的值不了几个钱明天咱一起去二手货市场再淘一辆

Oh geez. If it's broken, just throw it out. It's second-hand anyway, it's hardly even worth anything. Let's go to the second-hand market tomorrow and look around for another good one.
