Jessica: So, I was at the gym the other day, and I happened to look in the class and saw they were doing Zumba.
前幾天我在健身房，看到一些人在上尊巴課。
Gary: I’ve heard about this thing.
我聽說過尊巴。
Jessica: Oh my gosh. It looked like so much fun. They were having a blast. I have a few family members who do Zumba and dance classes, like hip hop. And it’s such a cool creative expression, but you’re also getting your aerobic exercise in.
天哪，看起來有趣極了!他們跳的很開心。我有些家人跳尊巴和嘻哈舞，這是一種充滿創(chuàng)意的表達(dá)形式，同時也能獲得有氧運(yùn)動。
Gary: It feels weird to me that dancing is being called exercise when, you know, riding a bicycle is exercise, or lifting weights, or going for a run. Where you’re getting your heart rate up, and you’re improving your times, and you’re really challenging yourself. It’s an exercise. It feels like there’s more to it than dance.
對于我來說，很難把跳舞當(dāng)成健身，因?yàn)樗坪躜T車，舉重，跑步才是健身。做這些運(yùn)動的時候心跳加速，體力不斷提升，不斷挑戰(zhàn)自己。這似乎比跳舞的意義更大。
Jessica: Well, when I looked in, all of these people were dripping with sweat, but they all had smiles on their faces. They were having so much fun. And the music sounded awesome, too. So I may check it out. I’ll let you know.
我看到那些跳舞的人汗如雨下，但臉上依然帶著笑容。他們跳的很開心，音樂也很棒。也許我也會去試試，我會告訴你的。
Gary: Yeah, please.
是的，一定要。
Jessica: Yeah.
是的。
Gary: I’m open to it.
我也想試試。
