    Dialogue 1 
    Gary is talking with his colleague, Anne, at work.
    蓋瑞上班時和同事安在聊天。
    Gary: Are you off to the gym, Anne? 蓋瑞: 安,妳要去健身房嗎?
    Anne: Yup! I'm going to my kickboxing class. 安: 對啊!我要去上搏擊課。
    Gary: Really? I've seen that type of martial art on TV. It looks pretty painful! 蓋瑞: 真的嗎?我在電視上看過那種武術,看起來很痛苦耶!
    Anne: It can be, especially in tournaments. I don't compete very often, though. I just do it for exercise. 安: 是會痛啊,尤其在比賽時。不過我不常和別人對打,我只是為了運動。
    Gary I'd love to come some time. I like to find new and interesting ways to stay in shape. Are there any other men in your class? 蓋瑞: 改天我想去看看,我喜歡找些新鮮有趣的方式來保持健康。妳班上有其他男生嗎?
    Anne: There are quite a few, actually. Off the top of my head, I would say that there are seven male students in our class of fifteen. 安: 事實上還真有幾個男生。就我所知,我們班上十五個人中有七個男生。
    Gary: How often do you go to class? 蓋瑞: 妳多久上一次課?
    Anne: I go every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening from seven to nine, but there are classes offered six nights a week. 安: 我每個星期一、三、四晚上去,七點到九點,不過一星期六天都有開課。
    Gary: If I go, I want you to promise that you'll go easy on me.
    蓋瑞: 如果我去的話,妳可要答應我會對我手下留情。
    Anne: OK, I will, but I can't speak for the other students or our teacher! 安: 沒問題,我會的,但我可不能保證其他學生或老師也會喔!
    Dialogue 2 
    It is several weeks later and Gary is talking with his girlfriend, Leslie, one evening.
    幾個星期後的一個晚上,蓋瑞和女友萊絲莉在聊天。
    Leslie: What's wrong with you, honey? You look beat! 萊絲莉: 親愛的,你怎麼了?你看起來好累的樣子!
    Gary: I'm OK. I went to a kickboxing class with my coworker, Anne, tonight. I'm tired and sore. 蓋瑞: 我沒事,我今天晚上和我的同事安去上搏擊課,搞得我又累又疼。
    Leslie: You should have taken it easy. Did you warm up first? 萊絲莉: 你應該要放輕鬆點,你有先暖身嗎?
    Gary: Yes, but there was a lot of physical contact and sparring during the class. I'm not used to that. 蓋瑞: 有啊,不過課堂上有很多身體的碰撞和對打練習,我還不太習慣。
    Leslie: It will definitely take a while for you to develop the special kind of physical conditioning necessary for martial arts. 萊絲莉: 要鍛鍊出武術所需的體能,一定得花上好一段時間的。
    Gary: The first time you go to any martial arts class is always the most challenging. After that, it becomes easier and much more fun. 蓋瑞: 任何武術課的頭一堂總是最困難的,之後就變得比較容易、而且有趣了。
