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！ |

| 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。 |
| Leslie: |
|
Where
does it hurt the most? |
萊絲莉： |
你哪裡最痛呢？ |
| Gary: |
|
The front
of my thighs and my neck are the sorest. I am going
to take a hot shower. That will make me feel better.
|
蓋瑞： |
我的大腿前側和脖子最痛。我要去洗個熱水澡，這樣就會舒服點。 |
| Leslie: |
|
I know
you did your best, but I thought you could handle
it--I thought you were in shape.
|
萊絲莉： |
我知道你盡力了，我還以為你的身體不錯，可以應付的過去呢！ |
| Gary: |
|
I thought
I was, too. However, kickboxing is definitely tougher
than I expected. |
蓋瑞： |
我本來也是這麼想的，不過，拳擊比我想像的困難多了。 |
