在這樣的餐館里,這似乎有點不禮貌。
A: that’s what I thought. I just thought I’d ask you and see what you thought of it. Anyway, what did you do yesterday evening?
我就是這么想的。我只是想問問你,看看你怎么看。不管怎樣,你昨天晚上做了什么?
B: well, it was a warm evening, so I stretched my legs. I walked along the canal for a couple of miles. Actually, several other people had the same idea. I saw bill.
嗯,那是一個溫暖的夜晚,所以我伸開了腿。我沿著運河走了幾英里。事實上,其他幾個人也有同樣的想法。我看到了比爾。

是嗎?他最近怎么樣?
B: he seemed ok. We didn’t stop and chat because we were on opposite banks of the canal. We just waved at each other.
他看起來很好。我們沒有停下來聊天,因為我們在運河的對岸。我們只是互相揮手。

讓我們移動一下沙發(fā)。你能抓住那一端的底部嗎?我要把這一端抬起來。我想把它向那邊移。
Intermediate
A: can you suggest a few exercise to help me get fit and stretch my muscles a littlt?
你能建議我做一些運動來幫助我健身和伸展一下肌肉嗎?
B: sure. If you want to stretch your legs, a good exercise is to lift your knee in front of your body, like this. It’s a very simple exercise, but very effective.
當(dāng)然。如果你想伸展你的腿,一個好的運動就是像這樣把膝蓋舉到身體前面。這是一個非常簡單但非常有效的運動。
A: I need to excise my arms too. How can I do that?
我也需要切除我的手臂。我該怎么做?
B: one good way is to do push-ups. Another way is to use weights. Make sure you grip the weights firmly. You don’t want to drop them on your feet!
一個好方法是做俯臥撐。另一種方法是使用重物。確保你牢牢抓住重物。你不想把它們掉在腳上!
A: when I do push-ups, should I bend my elbows so that my nose touches the ground?
當(dāng)我做俯臥撐時,我是否應(yīng)該彎曲肘部,使鼻子接觸地面?
B: you don’t need to bend your elbows that much. Bend them so that your arms are at a 90 degree angle. The most important think is to remember to keep your body straight. Many people bend their bodies at the waist, which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
你不需要彎曲肘部那么多。彎曲肘部,使你的手臂成90度角。最重要的是記住保持身體挺直。許多人在腰部彎曲身體,這會降低鍛煉的效果。
A: what’s a good exercise for my chest muscles?
什么是鍛煉胸肌的好方法?
B: one that I recommend is that you lie on your back. You should have a weight in each hand and stretch your arms out side of your body.
我建議你仰臥。你應(yīng)該每只手都有一個重量,把你的手臂伸到身體的外側(cè)。
A: so I need plenty of space for this exercise.
所以我需要足夠的空間來做這個練習(xí)。
B: yes, you do. Lift the weight up, keeping your arms straight all the time.
是的,你會的。舉起重物,一直保持雙臂伸直。
A: great. Thanks for you advice!
太好了。謝謝你的建議!
