@ 30395 Going to the Gym
A: 真巧，能在這裡碰上你。你常來這個健身房嗎？ zhe¯ n qiaˇo, ne´ng za`i zhe`lˇı pe`ngsha`ng nˇı. nˇı cha´ng la´i zhe`ge jia`nshe¯ nfa´ng ma?
What a coincidence, running into you here! Do you often come to this gym?
B: 是啊，我幾乎每天都來。夏天常來游泳，現在主要來做力量和耐力運動，像舉重和跑步什麼的。你好像剛開始健身吧？

Yeah, I come here almost every day. In the summer I of- ten come here to swim. Now I mainly do strength and endurance exercises like weightlifting and jogging, etc. It seems like you’ve just started working out, is that right?
A: 對啊，我以前太懶了。不是坐在辦公室裡，就是坐在家裡看電視。前些時候，我朋友硬要拉我來練瑜伽，說效果特別好，而且運動也不太劇烈。

That’s right. Before, I was too lazy. If I wasn’t sitting in the office, I was sitting at home watching TV. A little while ago, my friend insisted on dragging me to a yoga class. She said the results were especially good, and the exer- cises weren’t too strenuous.
B: 你早就應該來了，女孩子很適合練瑜伽。既能修飾體形，又放鬆心情。對了，練了之後你覺得效果有沒有想象中的那麼好？

You should have come earlier! Doing yoga is especially good for girls. It both shapes your figure, as well as re- laxes your mood. After doing yoga, have the results been as good as you had imagined they would be?
A: 簡直太棒了。開始的時候我覺得動作特別難， 但是練了幾天就慢慢習慣了，而且越來越喜歡。現在，幾天不練就難受呢。哎，你的肌肉這麼發達，是不是一直很注重健身？

Simply great! When I started, I felt the movements were especially difficult, but after doing it for a few days I slowly became used to the movements, and liked doing it more and more. Now, if I don’t do it for a few days I just don’t feel right. Hey, your muscles are so developed, is it because you always pay a lot of attention to keeping fit?
B: 呵呵，你過獎了，其實主要是靠堅持。這裡的有
氧操也很不錯，你可以試試。

Heh heh, you’re flattering me. Actually the main thing is to stick with it. The aerobics classes here are also pretty good. You can give it a try!
A: 哈，你是內行。聽你的準沒錯!
