昨天下午，我和朋友一起出去买东西。
Yesterday afternoon, my friend and I went out to buy some things.
我一边走路，一边看手机，没有看红绿灯。
I was walking while looking at my phone, and didn't watch the traffic light.
突然，一辆自行车骑得很快，离我很近。
Suddenly, a bicycle came riding very fast, very close to me.
朋友大声叫：“小心！”
My friend shouted loudly: "Watch out!"
我马上往旁边站了一下，自行车就骑过去了。
I quickly stepped to the side, and the bicycle rode past.
我心里很紧张，但是没有事。
My heart was pounding, but nothing had happened.
朋友又说：“走路的时候要小心车，别看手机。”
My friend said again: "When you walk, watch out for cars — don't look at your phone."
从那以后，我走路的时候再也不看手机了。
Since then, I never look at my phone while walking again.
