今天是周五，一个比周一好N倍的日子。下班路上，天气都显得特别好。

Today is Friday, which is a lot better than Monday. The weather turned to perfect when I was on the way from my office to home.

回到家里，领导 @hongli 正在电脑前忙着。显然，她没有准备晚餐的意思。

When I arrived home, my wife @hongli was busy with her computer. She apparently had no plan for preparing dinner.

我实在太饿了，先随便找点东西吃。她告诉我今天不做晚饭，我们吃Uber。

I was so hungry, so I grabbed something to eat. Then my wife told me she would not make supper today, we would eat Uber instead.

原来Uber发广告到家，说可以点外卖，首次使用优惠10英镑。用过Uber出租车无数次，那就尝尝鲜让Uber送个餐吧。

This is because of the ads leaflet sent from Uber, who offers the take-away food delivery service. We have been using Uber for many times. So we would like to try the new service, Uber Eats.

下载安装Uber Eats APP，由于手机上已经有Uber, 所以新应用自动登录，像以前用Uber叫车一样轻车熟路，点好了由麦当劳提供的外卖，由Uber送餐——需要2英镑多运费，输入10英镑优惠码，首次倒是便宜。

Downloading and installing the APP are pretty easy. The app can automatically login as I have Uber app in my mobile phone. I ordered our take-away food offered by nearby Mcdonalds. The food would be delivered by Uber, which would cost me about 2 pounds. But I could use the ads coupon, which is worth 10 pounds. Nice deal.

之后我只要看着APP上的进度，等待送餐上门即可，大概就像国内的美团外卖？

What I needed to do is watching the APP, as it shows the progress of my take-away delivery, and waiting for the food to be delivered to my doorstep. It feels like the Meituan take-away delivery in China.

APP上显示送餐工具是Uber bicycle, 什么时候Uber推出单车了？要抄袭国内的摩拜单车了？想想也不太可能。但APP的GPS地图上显示的确像自行车，全然不像Uber出租车符号。我估计是一辆摩托车送餐？又快又方便。

The app showed the tool used for delivery is Uber bicycle. When is there Uber bicycle in the market? Does Uber want to copy the concept of sharing bikes from China? I do not think so. But the app did show the icon of the vehicle looks like bicycle, which is not like the car symbol as shown in Uber taxi app. I would guess the Uber eats delivery tool may be a motor bike, as it is fast and convenient.

估摸着送餐的摩托车就要到了，我到楼下去迎接Uber送餐服务。

I guessed the motorbike would arrive. So I went downstairs to welcome my first Uber eats delivery.

看着一辆车过来了。可惜是一辆路过的私家车。

There was a car coming, but it turned to be a private car rather than an Uber taxi.

又看到一个自行车爱好者模样的人，正全幅武装的骑车上坡来了，还不忘礼让后面的汽车。还是没有看到送餐的摩托车。

Later, I saw a man hardily riding a bicycle upwards on the road to my house, and gave way to passing car. I still did not see the expected motorbike.

难道这个自行车爱好者就是Uber送餐员？他朝我停下来，他真的是Uber送餐员，他真的是骑着自行车，骑了好几公里，并且在到我家的最后关头，骑上了一个长长的坡——丘陵地带的谢菲尔德那么多山坡——按时到达目的地。

Is the cyclist the Uber delivery man? He is waving hand at me. He is the Uber delivery man! He rode the bicycle for a couple of kilometers, and climbed a hill to my address. There are so many hills in Sheffield, but he arrived on time.

他取下背包，上面印着Uber的Logo，把我点的餐交给我，他的手机依然不停地响着，大概有新的送餐任务等待他。

There is an Uber logo on his backpack. He handed over my take-away food. In the meantime, his phone was beeping. I guess a lot of delivery orders were waiting for him.

我笑着跟他说：Uber Eats APP上显示是自行车，原来真的是自行车！我叫了一个Uber，来了一辆自行车，再送我一个麦当劳外卖。

I joked to him: Uber Eats app shows it is a bike, and it is a bike. I order an Uber, then comes a bike, delivering my Mcdonalds take-away.

我问他是否可以拍他的背包，他很乐意，表示不在乎带上他的正面照。

I asked him whether happy for me to take a photo of his backpack, which has the Uber logo. He said he is happy with it, even does not care his face is on the photo.

外卖其实就是麦当劳的那些垃圾食品，儿子和闺女还挺喜欢吃……我觉得不过瘾，煮了一包方便面，才完美收场。

The take-away food is what you can see from Mcdonalds. My son and daughter loved it. But I am not satisfied by the food, finally I cooked a bag of Chinese instant noodle, which was an happy end.

祝各位周末愉快。

I wish you a happy weekend.
