A:Hey there, you look a little lost. Are you new here?
B:Yeah how’d you know?
A:You can always spot the newbies. I can give you a few pointers if you want. Were you trying to use this machine here?
B:Yeah! I just started my training today and I’m not really sure where to begin.
A:It’s ok, I know how it is. This machine here will work out your upper body, mainly your triceps and biceps. Are you looking to develop strength or muscle tone and definition?
B:Well, I don’t want to be ripped like you! I just want a good physique with weights and cardio.
A:In that case you want to work with less weight.You can start off by working ten to fifteen reps in four sets. Five kilo weights should be enough.Now it’s very important that you stretch before pumping iron or you might pull a muscle.
B:Got it! Wow is that the weight you are lifting? My goodness that’s a lot of weight!
A:It’s not that much. Just watch... I’m ok...
【譯文】
嗨，那位！你好像有點(diǎn)不知所措，你是新來(lái)的嗎？
是的，你怎么知道？
新手總是很好認(rèn)。如果你需要的話，我可以給你一些提示。剛剛你是想要試這器械嗎？
是的！我今天剛開(kāi)始訓(xùn)練，實(shí)在不知道從何入手！
沒(méi)關(guān)系，我知道怎么用。這臺(tái)機(jī)器會(huì)鍛煉你的上半身，主要是你的肱三頭肌和二頭肌。你是想要增強(qiáng)力量還是鍛煉肌肉和線條？
哦，我不想要像你那樣撕裂狀的肌肉線條！我只想要通過(guò)體重和有氧呼吸鍛煉一個(gè)好的體形。
這樣的話 你要少練點(diǎn)舉重，你可以從四套10到15組開(kāi)始鍛煉。5 kg重量就夠了。現(xiàn)在很重要的一點(diǎn)是，在舉重前你應(yīng)該先做一下伸展運(yùn)動(dòng)，否則你會(huì)拉傷肌肉。
知道！wow，那是你現(xiàn)在舉的重量嗎，我的天啊，那太重了！
沒(méi)那么多啦，看我的...我沒(méi)事，沒(méi)事~
