A 瞧你，肚子又大了一圈。跟我鍛鍊吧！
qiáo nǐ, dùzi yòu dà le yīquān. gēn wǒ duànliàn ba!
Look at you, growing that spare tire. Exercise with me.
B 你不是最討厭去健身房嗎？
nǐ bù shì zuì tǎoyàn qù jiànshēnfáng ma?
But don't you hate going to the gym more than anything?
A 鍛鍊又不是只有在健身房才能做。我每天系統性地做仰臥起坐、 俯臥撐、 引體向上來塑造肌肉、保持體形。你看，效果真的不錯！
duànliàn yòu bù shì zhǐyǒu zài jiànshēnfáng cáinéng zuò. wǒ měitiān xìtǒngxìng de zuò yǎngwòqǐzuò, fǔwòchēng, yǐntǐxiàngshàng lái sùzào jīròu, bǎochí tǐxíng. nǐ kàn, xiàoguǒ zhēnde bùcuò!
It's not like the gym is the only place you can exercise. Every day I systematically do sit-ups, push-ups, and chin-ups in order to tone my muscles and stay in shape. Look, the effects are not bad!
B 哦喲，搞了半天就是這些最基本的動作。這算什麼鍛鍊呀？健身房裡的器械練力量和耐力效果又快又好。而且還能看美女。
óyō, gǎo le bàntiān jiùshì zhèxiē zuì jīběn de dòngzuò. zhè suàn shénme duànliàn ya? jiànshēnfáng lǐ de qìxiè liàn lìliang hé nàilì xiàoguǒ yòu kuài yòu hǎo. érqiě hái néng kàn měinǚ.
Oh, after all that it's just these basic exercises. This counts as a workout? The exercise machines in the gym work on strength and stamina and get fast, good results. Plus you can check out the girls.
A 你這個色狼，健身都不忘泡妞。你別小看這幾個簡單的動作，它們可是能鍛鍊身上各個部位。整體效果可好了。而且練出來的肌肉很自然。不像健身房練出來的那麼僵硬。看上去四肢發達，頭腦簡單。
nǐ zhège sèláng, jiànshēn dōu bù wàng pàoniū. nǐ bié xiǎokàn zhè jǐ ge jiǎndān de dòngzuò, tāmen kěshì néng duànliàn shēnshàng gègè bùwèi. zhěngtǐ xiàoguǒ kě hǎo le. érqiě liàn chūlai de jīròu hěn zìrán. bù xiàng jiànshēnfáng liàn chūlai de nàme jiāngyìng. kàn shangqu sìzhī fādá, tóunǎo jiǎndān.
You perv. Can't even stop macking to work out. Don't underestimate these simple exercises. They exercise the different parts of the body. The overall results are quite good. Plus the muscle you build is very natural. It's not like the inflexible muscle that a gym will give you, four bulky limbs and a simple mind.
B 你這是典型的酸葡萄心態。那種肌肉才有型。再說了，你的鍛鍊方法見效太慢。要做多少個仰臥起坐才能練出六塊腹肌啊？
nǐ zhè shì diǎnxíng de suānpútao xīntài. nàzhǒng jīròu cái yǒuxíng. zàishuō le, nǐ de duànliàn fāngfǎ jiànxiào tài màn. yào zuò duōshao ge yǎngwòqǐzuò cáinéng liànchū liù kuài fùjī a?
This is a classic ``sour grapes" attitude. That kind of muscle is sculpted. Besides, your exercise method takes too long to get results. How many sit-ups do you need to do to get a six-pack?
A 可是這些動作的效果持久呀。而且就是因為做起來方便，沒有場地限制。所以不管在家，還是出差，都能很輕鬆地做到。這是真正把鍛鍊變成生活的一部分。不像去健身房，既麻煩，又枯燥。難怪好多人最後都放棄了。
kěshì zhèxiē dòngzuò de xiàoguǒ chíjiǔ ya. érqiě jiùshì yīnwèi zuò qǐlai fāngbiàn, méiyǒu chǎngdì xiànzhì. suǒyǐ bùguǎn zàijiā, háishi chūchāi, dōu néng hěn qīngsōng de zuòdào. zhè shì zhēnzhèng bǎ duànliàn biànchéng shēnghuó de yībùfèn. bù xiàng qù jiànshēnfáng, jì máfan, yòu kūzào. nánguài hǎo duō rén zuìhòu dōu fàngqì le.
But the effects of these exercises are lasting. Also, because they're convenient, they're not limited by location. So whether it's at home or on a business trip, you can always easily do them. It really is truly making exercise a part of your life. It's not like going to the gym--a nuisance and dull. It's no wonder so many people quit in the end.
B 行了！我們廢話少說，用事實說話。
xíng le! wǒmen fèihuà shǎoshuō, yòng shìshí shuōhuà.
Fine! Enough empty talk. Let's talk facts.
A 沒問題！咱們來真的！我讓你看看俯臥撐和引體向上的厲害。
méiwèntí! zánmen lái zhēn de! wǒ ràng nǐ kànkan fǔwòchēng hé yǐntǐxiàngshàng de lìhai.
No problem! We'll do something real! I'll make you see the power of push-ups and chin-ups.
B 掰手腕兒你肯定掰不過我。 哎，身體不許動啊。
bāi shǒuwànr nǐ kěndìng bāibuguò wǒ. āi, shēntǐ bùxǔ dòng a.
In arm wrestling there's no way you can beat me. Hey, you can't move your body.
A 我用得著耍賴嗎？準備好了嗎？一、二、三。哈，你這手這麼軟綿綿，就像塊豆腐。真是給健身房丟臉！
wǒ yòngdezháo shuǎlài ma? zhǔnbèi hǎo le ma? yī, èr, sān. hā, nǐ zhè shǒu zhème ruǎnmiánmián, jiùxiàng kuài dòufu. zhēnshì gěi jiànshēnfáng diūliǎn!
Like I need to use tricks? Are you ready? 1, 2, 3. Ha, your arm is so soft and flabby, like a piece of tofu. You have really lost face for the gym!
B 我今天沒吃早飯。平時我肯定能贏你。
wǒ jīntiān méi chī zǎofàn. píngshí wǒ kěndìng néng yíng nǐ.
I didn't eat breakfast today. Normally I would totally beat you.
A 得了吧。我看你全身上下沒一個地方有力氣，就是嘴硬。
dé le ba. wǒ kàn nǐ quánshēn shàngxià méi yī ge dìfang yǒu lìqi, jiùshì zuǐyìng.
Give it up. The way I see it, you don't have any real strength in your whole body. You just talk tough.
