DORIS: Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get started using these machines?
JOHNSON: Of course. Are you a new member here?
DORIS: Yes.
JOHNSON: Welcome. My name is Johnson.
DORIS: Nice to meet you.
JOHNSON: Do you have any experience using weights?
DORIS: No, I don't. So I need some help.
JOHNSON: Well, first it is important to go through a good stretch.You must warm up properly so that you don't hurt yourself on the machines.
DORIS: Yes, I know that.Derek just led me through the warm up in the aerobics room.So I'm ready, I think. I can start using the machines.
JOHNSON: Alright. Great. Then we must get a card for you.
DORIS: What do you mean--a membership card? I already have one.
JOHNSON: No. Not that. I mean a training card.The card allows you to keep track of how much weight you use on each machine.Here, let me show you.
DORIS: I'm ready.
JOHNSON: Now, you can see that on this card there are all the machines listed.So, when you go through the series of twelve machines,you enter in the number of repetitions you do.And you also enter in the weight at which you set the machine.
DORIS: I see. So this card helps me to keep track of my progress.
JOHNSON: Yes. And it also reminds you what is a suitable weight for each machine.Today, I will go through the machines with you one by one.I will show you how to use them.And we will determine what is a good starting weight for you.
DORIS: Alright. Great.
JOHNSON: So you write your name and member number at the top of the card.And then, after you exercise each time, you file the card here.
DORIS: Great. Why don't we start on the machines?
JOHNSON: Are you alright? Can you do more?
DORIS: I'm sorry. I know there are still seven machines. But I'm exhausted.
JOHNSON: That's okay. Don't worry.It's important not to push yourself. Especially not at the beginning.
DORIS: What can I do though?I don't know the proper settings for the rest of the machines.
JOHNSON: We can just go through them next time. It's no problem. Really.The most important thing is to know your limits.So if you feel burned out now, it is good to stop.Because if you strain a muscle or hurt your back,then you won't be able to exercise for a couple weeks. Right?
DORIS: Yes. I suppose it's best to stop.
朵麗思：對不起。你可以告訴我如何開始使用這些器材嗎?
詹森：當(dāng)然，你是這兒的新會員嗎?
朵麗思：是的。
詹森：歡迎，我叫詹森。
朵麗思：很高興認(rèn)識你。
詹森：你有舉重的經(jīng)驗(yàn)嗎?
朵麗思：沒有，所以我需要一些幫忙。
詹森：好的，首先伸展運(yùn)動是很重要的。你必須做適當(dāng)?shù)臒嵘磉\(yùn)動才不會在使用器材時傷了你自己。
朵麗思：是的，我知道。戴瑞克剛剛在健身操室引導(dǎo)我做了些熱身。所以，我準(zhǔn)備好了，我想。我可以開始使用這些器材。
詹森：好的，太好了，我們必須給你弄一張卡。
朵麗思：什么意思――會員卡嗎?我已經(jīng)有一張了。
詹森：不，不是那個，我是指訓(xùn)練卡。那張卡讓你記錄自己在每個器材上所用的舉重量。來，讓我示范給你看。
朵麗思：我準(zhǔn)備好了。
詹森：現(xiàn)在，你可以看到卡上列出了所有的器材名稱。所以，當(dāng)你一連使用了十二種器材，你輸入你重復(fù)做的次數(shù)，并且也輸入你在器材上所設(shè)定的舉重量。
朵麗思：我懂了，所以這張卡幫我記錄了我的進(jìn)度。
詹森：是的，它也提醒你每個器材適合的舉重量。今天，我會一個一個看你做，我會示范如何使用這些器材，而且我們會為你決定一項(xiàng)起步的器材。
朵麗思：好的，太好了。
詹森：你把名字和會員卡號寫在卡的最上面，然后每次運(yùn)動完，把卡歸檔在這里。
朵麗思：太好了，我們?yōu)楹尾婚_始玩器材了?
詹森：你還好吧?可以再做嗎?
朵麗思：很抱歉，我知道還有七項(xiàng)器材，但是我已經(jīng)精疲力盡了。
詹森：沒關(guān)系，不要擔(dān)心。不要強(qiáng)迫自己是很重要的，尤其是開始時。
朵麗思：這樣我還能做什么?我不清楚其他器材完整的裝配。
詹森：我們可以下次再做，沒問題，真的。最重要的是知道你的極限。所以如果你覺得體力耗盡了，最好就停住。因?yàn)槿绻憷瓊∪饣騻吮巢?，之后幾周都沒法運(yùn)動了，對不對?
朵麗思：是的，我想最好就此打住吧。
