　　dialogue 2

　　S: you are an early bird , Tom. What do you do in the morning then?

　　湯姆,你通常起得很早.那么早起都做些什么呢?

　　T: exercise. The morning hours are the most precious period within a single day. We should not pass them up easily. Seize the time and do something useful.

　　鍛煉.早晨是一天當(dāng)中最美好的時(shí)光.我們不該輕易放過他.要充分利用時(shí)間,做點(diǎn)有用的事情.

　　S: so, you choose to spend it on bodybuilding. Where do you exercise?

　　所以,你把時(shí)間花在晨練上了.那你都在哪兒鍛煉呢?

　　T: usually, I run to the Black Bamboo Park as a warm-up . Admission is free. Then I start my activites.

　　通常我跑步去紫竹院,正好熱熱身.那里不用買門票.然后才開始我的活動.

　　S: do you do the same exercises every day?

　　那每天都做同樣的運(yùn)動嗎?

　　T: no, I've deliberately kept a balance between various exercises: parallel bars, push-ups, sit-ups, bunny-hops, five-kilometer run, and so on. I alternate them over the weekdays. Sometimes, when I find myself in a bad state, I will simply idle about in the park.

　　不是的.我有意在多項(xiàng)運(yùn)動之間保持平衡:雙杠,俯臥撐,仰臥起坐,兔子跳,五千米跑…一周之內(nèi)輪流做.有時(shí)候,如果發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不怎么舒服,就只在公園里閑逛.

　　S: why don't you just stay in bed when you feel unfit for exercising?

　　不舒服的時(shí)候,為什么不干脆多睡會?

　　T: It's not easy to keep a good habit, you know. I fear that if I fail to get up early one day, I may find it still more difficult to rise early the next. Besides, a mere walk in the early morning is much fun, too. Here and there in the park, you meet whole gangs of senior citizens who might be singing operas or old songs, playing er'hu, chess, or just chatting and gossiping. It's interesting to join them.

　　你知道,保持一種習(xí)慣不容易.我擔(dān)心的是,哪天我要沒能早起,第二天早上恐怕就更難早起了.再說,清晨走一走也是樂趣多多.在公園里四處走走,總能碰上一群老年人,在唱戲或者其他老歌,拉二胡,下棋,或者只是閑聊.跟他們在一起也挺有意思.

　　S: oh, yes. Singing is also a good way of keeping fit, at least mentally.

　　是的.唱歌也是保持健康的好法子,哪怕只是精神上的.
