First, your correspondent had to balance on a Segway, a two-wheeled vehicle from which she could have fallen several inches to the cold, hard pavement.

首先，记者必须在摄位车上保持平衡，这种两轮电动车有让她从任何一边摔向冰冷坚硬的人行道上的可能性。

It's not the easiest thing to do, but it beats laying on the hard pavement or you know laying on a piece of cardboard or many of the other things that you see people doing out there.

住车里当然也不轻松，但是总比睡大街或者睡硬纸板好。你去外面看看很多人都这样。
