@ 50387 冬季運動
A 阿嚏！阿阿阿嚏！唉，又感冒了。冬天才剛到，我已經感冒三次了，每天不停地吃藥，再這樣下去，真要成藥罐子了。
ātì! āāātì! āi, yòu gǎnmào le. dōngtiān cái gāng dào, wǒ yǐjīng gǎnmào sān cì le, měitiān bùtíngde chī yào, zài zhèyàng xiàqu, zhēn yào chéng yàoguànzi le.
Achoo! A-a-achoo! Ugh, I've got a cold again. Winter has just arrived, and I've already gotten three colds. I take medicine all the time every day. If I go on this way, I'll turn into a hopeless invalid.
B 我看你啊，就是因為整天窩在家裡或辦公室裡不運動，抵抗力才會這麼差。俗話說“冬天動一動，少鬧一場病；冬天懶一懶，多喝藥一碗”，你平時應該多鍛鍊鍛鍊，比方說遊游泳什麼的，身體自然就健康了。
wǒ kàn nǐ ā, jiùshì yīnwèi zhěngtiān wō zài jiālǐ huò bàngōngshì lǐ bù yùndòng, dǐkànglì cái huì zhème chà. súhuàshuō `` dōngtiān dòngyidòng, shǎo nào yī chǎng bìng. dōngtiān lǎnyilǎn, duō hē yào yī wǎn" , nǐ píngshí yīnggāi duō duànliàn duànliàn, bǐfangshuō yóuyou yǒng shénmede, shēntǐ zìrán jiù jiànkāng le.
I see you holed up all day at home or in your office. That's the only reason your immune system is so weak. There's a saying that goes ``Move around a little in the winter, and you'll get sick less. Laze around during the winter, and you'll need to take more medicine." You should work out more, going swimming, for instance. Your body will naturally get healthier.
A 游泳？這麼冷的天，誰還游泳啊？
yóuyǒng? zhème lěng de tiān, shéi hái yóuyǒng ā?
Swimming? In this cold of weather, who still goes swimming?
B 誰規定冬天不能游泳了？專家說，冬泳能在一定程度上提高免疫力，能夠讓人在春天和冬天的時候不容易患流感，而且對關節炎、風溼病、胃病、高血壓等病症也有奇特的療效，健身價值比夏天游泳更高，所以現在正流行冬泳呢，你也大可以去試試。
shéi guīdìng dōngtiān bùnéng yóuyǒng le? zhuānjiā shuō, dōngyǒng néng zài yīdìng chéngdù shang tígāo miǎnyìlì, nénggòu ràng rén zài chūntiān hé dōngtiān de shíhou bù róngyì huàn liúgǎn, érqiě duì guānjiéyán, fēngshībìng, wèibìng, gāoxuèyā děng bìngzhèng yě yǒu qítè de liáoxiào, jiànshēn jiàzhí bǐ xiàtiān yóuyǒng gènggāo, suǒyǐ xiànzài zhèng liúxíng dōngyǒng ne, nǐ yě dà kěyǐ qù shìshi.
Who made the rule that you can't go swimming in the winter? Experts say that to a certain degree, winter swimming improves your immunity. It makes it easier for people to avoid getting the flu during spring and winter. And it's incredibly effective on swelling in the joints, rheumatism, stomach illnesses, high blood pressure and diseases like that. The health value is even higher than summer swimming, so now winter swimming is getting really popular. You could definitely give it a try.
A 還是算了吧，我最怕冷，光是聽到“冬泳”兩個字就已經冷得發抖，更別說下水了。
hái shì suànleba, wǒ zuì pà lěng, guāng shì tīngdào `` dōngyǒng"liǎng ge zì jiù yǐjīng lěng de fādǒu, gèng bié shuō xiàshuǐ le.
Ah, forget it. I'm really afraid of the cold. All it takes is for me to hear the words ``winter swimming" and I start shivering, to say nothing of getting in the water.
B 那跑步怎麼樣？冬天最適合練長跑了。冬季長跑可以增強心血管和呼吸系統的功能，提高大腦記憶力，還能使人心情舒暢，有助於增進食慾。我現在就每天堅持長跑，上個月還參加了全市馬拉松大賽呢。
nà pǎobù zěnmeyàng? dōngtiān zuì shìhé liàn chángpǎo le. dōngjì chángpǎo kěyǐ zēngqiáng xīnxuèguǎn hé hūxīxìtǒng de gōngnéng, tígāo dànǎo jìyìlì, hái néng shǐ rén xīnqíng shūchàng, yǒuzhùyú zēngjìn shíyù. wǒ xiànzài jiù měitiān jiānchí chángpǎo, shàng ge yuè hái cānjiā le quánshì mǎlāsōng dàsài ne.
Then how about running? Winter time is the best time for practicing distance running. Wintertime distance running is good for your heart and blood vessels and your respiratory system. It improves your memory, and it makes you less anxious. It can also give you a better appetite. I'm determined to go running everyday. I ran in a city-wide marathon last month.
A 長跑太枯燥了，我看我很難堅持下來。
chángpǎo tài kūzào le, wǒ kàn wǒ hěn nán jiānchí xiàlai.
Distance running is too boring. I think I would have a really hard time sticking with it.
B 說來說去，你就是沒有意志力。
shuōláishuōqù, nǐ jiùshì méiyǒu yìzhìlì.
We can talk till we're blue in the face. The thing is, you don't have any willpower.
A 誰說的？我只是更喜歡娛樂性強一點的運動罷了。
shéi shuō de? wǒ zhǐshì gèng xǐhuan yúlèxìng qiáng yīdiǎn de yùndòng bàle.
Who says? I just like sports that are a little more fun, that's all.
B 是嗎？那就去滑雪好了。比起冬泳、長跑這樣的健身運動來，滑雪的休閒性更強，一個星期去一次，可以放鬆緊張的神經，而且在不經意間又可以使身體各部位都得到有效的鍛鍊。
shì ma? nà jiù qù huáxuě hǎo le. bǐ qǐ dōngyǒng chángpǎo zhèyàngde jiànshēn yùndòng lái, huáxuě de xiūxiánxìng gèng qiáng, yī ge xīngqī qù yīcì, kěyǐ fàngsōng jǐnzhāng de shénjīng, érqiě zài bùjīngyìjiān yòu kěyǐ shǐ shēntǐ gè bùwèi dōu dédào yǒuxiào de duànliàn.
Really? Then you should go skiing. Compared with winter swimming and distance running, skiing is relaxing. Go once a week, and you'll be able to relax your anxious mind, and you'll give each part of your body a good workout without even knowing it.
A 聽起來不錯，可是上海幾乎沒有山，也很少下雪，上哪兒去滑雪啊？
tīng qǐlai bùcuò, kěshì Shànghǎi jīhū méiyǒu shān, yě hěn shǎo xiàxuě, shàng nǎer qù huáxuě ā?
It sounds great, but it seems like Shanghai doesn't have any mountains. And it very rarely snows-- where could I go skiing?
B 你忘了？上海不是有個銀七星室內滑雪場嗎？前不久那裡還舉行過單板滑雪賽呢。
nǐ wàng le? Shànghǎi bù shì yǒu ge Yínqīxīng shìnèi huáxuěchǎng ma? qiánbùjiǔ nàli hái jǔxíng guo dānbǎn huáxuěsài ne.
Did you forget? Doesn't Shanghai have an indoor skiing facility? Not long ago they hosted a snow-boarding competition there.
A 你不說我還真想不起來，聽說那裡還有溫泉泳池、桑拿房、中西餐廳、酒吧、健身房、棋牌室、影視歌舞廳等等，是不是真的啊？
nǐ bù shuō wǒ hái zhēn xiǎngbuqǐlai, tīngshuō nàli hái yǒu wēnquányǒngchí, sāngnáfáng, zhōngxīcāntīng, jiǔbā, jiànshēnfáng, qípáishì, yǐngshìgēwǔtīng děngděng, shì bu shì zhēnde ā?
If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have thought of it! I hear they have warm spring baths there, a sauna, Chinese and Western cafeteria, a bar, a gym, a room for playing chess and cards, a theater and KTV and dance joint! Is that for real?
B 耳聽為虛，眼見為實，你去看看不就知道了。
ěrtīngwéixū, yǎnjiànwéishí, nǐ qùkànkan bù jiù zhīdào le.
Seeing is believing! Why don't you go take a look, and then you'll know.
