    Gary: We all got new tracksuits and cleats, too. 蓋瑞： 而且我們都拿到了新的運動服跟防滑鞋呢。
    Diane: What events will you be competing in? 黛安： 你要比賽哪些項目呢？
    Gary: I will be competing in all the throwing events: the discus throw, the hammer throw, the javelin throw, and the shot put. How about you? 蓋瑞： 我要比所有的投擲項目，包括鐵餅、鏈球、標槍和鉛球。妳呢？

    Dialogue 2 
    Lucy and Jessie are talking about the upcoming 2004 summer Olympics.
    露西和潔熙正聊著即將到來的2004夏季奧運會。
    Jessie: All of the athletes will be tested for banned substances at the summer Olympics in Greece this year. 潔熙︰ 今年在希臘舉行的夏季奧運會，所有的運動員都要接受禁藥檢查。
    Lucy: A lot of famous athletes have tested positive for steroids and other banned substances at past Olympics. 露西： 過去的奧運會上有好多知名運動員，類固醇和其他禁藥的檢測都呈陽性反應耶。
    Jessie: What do you think about drug testing for athletes, Lucy? 潔熙： 露西，妳對運動員的藥檢有什麼看法呢？
    Lucy: I think it's absolutely necessary. All athletes need to be carefully tested. Otherwise, those who use banned substances have an unfair advantage. 露西︰ 我想那是一定要的啦，而且對所有運動員都要仔細檢測，不然豈不便宜了那些使用禁藥的人？
    Jessie: You're right, but I'm always worried that an athlete is going to test positive even though they didn't take any drugs. 潔熙： 妳說得沒錯，不過我老是擔心會有運動員並沒有用禁藥，可是還是測出陽性反應。
    Lucy: Are you talking about a false positive? 露西︰ 妳是說可能會有偽陽性反應？
    Jessie: Yes. Mistakes are rare, but they do happen. 潔熙： 是啊，雖然很少出錯，不過還是會發生。
    Lucy: I guess you're right. It's a difficult situation. Still, I think the testing must be done. 露西︰ 我想妳說得對，情況的確挺棘手的，不過我覺得藥檢還是得做。
    Jessie: I agree with you. Drug testing has become an important part of sports today. 潔熙： 我同意妳的看法，藥檢在現在的運動賽事中已是很重要的一環了。
