A:I don’t understand why you always look so happy, so energetic. It seems like you’ve got good news everyday.
我不知道你為什么看起來總是這么高興,這么有活力。好像你每天都有好消息。
B:Really? Do I look happy all the time?
真的嗎?我看起來總是很高興嗎?
A:All I know is you look quite differently from other teachers.
我所知道的是你看起來與其他老師很不同。
B:Oh, do you know why? Actually, it’s easy. Because I always exercise. My exercise, I think, is very hard. I often feel very good after conquering these difficulties. I feel alive!
噢,你知道為什么嗎?實際上,答案很簡單。因為我老是做運動。我覺得我做的鍛煉很難做。克服這些困難之后, 我經(jīng)常感覺很好。我覺得我在活著!
A:Oh, I know. I saw you doing pull-ups one time on the campus and some students trying to imitate you.
噢,我知道了。有一次我看見你在校園里做引體向上,還有一些學生在模仿你。
B:Yeah, they are doing it for fun. Seldom would people like my exercise. It’s difficult and boring.
是啊,他們做是為了好玩。很少有人會喜歡我做的運動。很難又枯燥無味。
A:It’s true. Many students do the exercise when they have to. We have P. E. once a week.
這倒是真的。許多學生做運動是迫不得已才去做。我們一周有一次體育課。
B:But I think Chinese students need to exercise more. Besides exercise will help them learn new things better. Don ’t students want to have a good memory?
但是我認為中國學生需要多鍛煉。而且鍛煉身體可以幫助他們更好地學習新知識。學生難道不想記憶力好嗎?
A:Of course. I didn’t know that. I only know exercise makes bodies stronger. I should take some exercise then. Do you have any suggestions?
那當然。我還不知道呢。我只知道鍛煉強身。那么我也應該做些鍛煉。你有什么建議嗎?
B:Well, do what you like to do. It can be anything. Jogging, doing aerobics, going bicycling, and playing ping-pong. Absolutely anything. Doing three or more workouts a week is good for you. But remember to do some stretches first.
開始可以做你喜歡做的。可以是任何運動。慢跑、做健美操、騎自行車,還有打乒乓球。什么都可以。一周運動三次或者更多次對你很有好處。但是記住先舒展一下肢體。
A:Oh, I know. Thank you.
哦,我知道。謝謝。
