A:I don’t understand why you always look so happy, so energetic. It seems like you’ve got good news everyday.
我不知道你为什么看起来总是这么高兴,这么有活力。好像你每天都有好消息。
B:Really? Do I look happy all the time?
真的吗?我看起来总是很高兴吗?
A:All I know is you look quite differently from other teachers.
我所知道的是你看起来与其他老师很不同。
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,你知道为什么吗?实际上,答案很简单。因为我老是做运动。我觉得我做的锻炼很难做。克服这些困难之后, 我经常感觉很好。我觉得我在活着!
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。有一次我看见你在校园里做引体向上,还有一些学生在模仿你。
B:Yeah, they are doing it for fun. Seldom would people like my exercise. It’s difficult and boring.
是啊,他们做是为了好玩。很少有人会喜欢我做的运动。很难又枯燥无味。
A:It’s true. Many students do the exercise when they have to. We have P. E. once a week.
这倒是真的。许多学生做运动是迫不得已才去做。我们一周有一次体育课。
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?
但是我认为中国学生需要多锻炼。而且锻炼身体可以帮助他们更好地学习新知识。学生难道不想记忆力好吗?
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?
那当然。我还不知道呢。我只知道锻炼强身。那么我也应该做些锻炼。你有什么建议吗?
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.
开始可以做你喜欢做的。可以是任何运动。慢跑、做健美操、骑自行车,还有打乒乓球。什么都可以。一周运动三次或者更多次对你很有好处。但是记住先舒展一下肢体。
A:Oh, I know. Thank you.
哦,我知道。谢谢。
