實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Weight Loss 減肥

Ruth: Akane, I hope you don't think I'm being rude but you look amazing. Have you lost weight?

魯斯：茜，我希望你不會覺得我無禮，你看起來太棒了。你是不是瘦了?

Akane: Actually, I have.

茜：實際上是的。

Ruth: Wow. How did you do it?

魯斯：哇，你是怎么做到的?

Akane: Well, I've been really eating healthy and working out a bit as well.

茜：嗯，我保持飲食健康，再做些運動。

Ruth: Wow. I read recently actually in the newspaper that there are lots of new gyms opening up. Is that what you've been doing, going to the gym?

魯斯：哇。我最近在報紙上看到報道說新開了許多健身房。去健身房鍛煉是不是你堅持在做的事情?

Akane: Ah, yeah actually. I joined a new gym. It wasn't that expensive either and it's been really good.

茜：對啊。我在一家新開的健身房辦了會員。價格不是很貴，而且也很好。

Ruth: So, how much was it?

魯斯：多少錢呢?

Akane: It was about $30 a month. (Oh) Yeah.

茜：一個月大約30美元。對。

Ruth: So when you go to the gym, what kind of thing do you do?

魯斯：你一般去健身房會做什么?

Akane: Um, well, my favorite thing to do is to run on the treadmill, and sometimes I also do weights.

茜：嗯，我最喜歡的是在跑步機上跑步，有時我會做一些力量練習。

Ruth: You do weights as well? (Mm-hm) Really heavy weights?

魯斯：你也做力量練習?(嗯)是那種大重量練習嗎?

Akane: No just lighter ones.

茜：不是，只是一些小重量練習。

Ruth: Oh, I see.

魯斯：哦，我知道了。

Akane: Yeah.

茜：嗯。

Ruth: So do you mind the fact when you're in the gym the air is really stuffy and you can always smell people's sweat? Does that not bother you?

魯斯：健身房空氣不流通，而且你能聞到人們的汗味，你不會介意這些?這會令你困擾嗎?

Akane: It does actually bother me so I do prefer to go when it's not too crowded.

茜：那確實挺困擾我的，所以我會在人不多的時候去。

Ruth: Of course, yeah.

魯斯：當然了。

Akane: People tend to go after work so I try to go a little bit earlier, or a little bit later. That's a good plan.

茜：人們一般會在下班后去健身房，所以我盡量早點去，或者我會晚些再去。這是個不錯的計劃。

Ruth: But you know, sometimes I still wonder if it's healthy to exercise inside because if you exercise outside you can get more fresh air.

魯斯：可是你知道，有時我會想在室內鍛煉真的健康嗎，因為如果你在室外鍛煉你可以呼吸更多的新鮮空氣。

Akane: I think you're right about that. It does feel better when I do get exercise outside, but sometimes I'm so busy and if the weather's not good, it's just easier to go the gym.

茜：我想你是對的。我去室外運動的時候的確感覺更好，不過有時我很忙，而且有時天氣不好，所以去健身房更方便。

Ruth: Well, I suppose so.

魯斯：嗯，這倒是。

Akane: Yeah, and a little exercise inside is better than no exercise.

茜：在室內運動總比不做運動強啊。

Ruth: You're right actually.

魯斯：你說得對。

Akane: So if I want to lose weight, what would you recommend?

茜：我想減體重，你有什么推薦嗎?

Ruth: Basically, just exercise within your limits and eat healthy.

魯斯：基本上來說，在你能接受的范圍內進行鍛煉，還有就是保證飲食健康。

Akane: I think it's just common sense.

茜：這些是常識。

Ruth: Really. Do you think I'll lose weight.

魯斯：對。你覺得我會減掉體重嗎?

Akane: For sure. I think so, but I don't know what you're talking about. You definitely don't need to lose weight.

茜：當然了。會的，不過其實我不太清楚你在說什么。你完全不用減肥啊。

Ruth: Well, that's kind of you Akane. OK, thanks.

魯斯：茜，你真是太好了。謝謝。
