星期五傍晚,从有氧运动高级班回来的Marilyn 一进屋就一屁股坐在地板上。
她累坏了。她告诉Richard 高级班的运动强度很大,但是Richard 认为如果
换作他,这种程度的锻炼完全是小菜一碟。
Marilyn : I am exhausted. My new exercise class is so hard. Richard
: Your new exercise class?
Marilyn : Yeah. My new advanced exercise class. Richard: Why advanced?
Marilyn : My instructor thought that the beginner's class was too
easy for me. Richard: Too easy for you ?
Marilyn : Don't laugh. In the beginner's class , they give you a
chance to rest between exercises. Richard : So ?
Marilyn : The advanced class is nonstop. Richard : I lift weights
every morning for sixty minutes without stopping. No problem. Marilyn
: Listen , Richard, doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than
lifting weights. Richard: Yeah. Quite a bit different. I think aerobics
is easy. I could work out in your class with no problem. Marilyn: You
think so?
Richard : Oh , without a doubt. When's the next class ?
Marilyn : Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Try it. Richard : Tomorrow
morning after lifting weights , I'll try aerobics. It's a snap. Tomorrow
morning at ten o'clock.
「语言点精讲」
1. My instructor thought that the beginner's class was too easy for
me. 我的教练认为初学班对我太容易了。
too+形容词或副词+ for sb. ,表示对于某人来说是过于……了。
2. No problem. "No problem."与后文出现的"It's a snap. " 都是“没问
题,小事一桩”的意思,用来表示某事很容易,做起来毫无问题。
3. Doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than lifting weights.
连续做1 小时有氧运动可跟练哑铃大不一样。
different than:跟……不一样。这里用 different from 更规范,但很多
美国人跟Marilyn 一样,在different 之后使用than,这已经成为了一种约定熟
成的用法。
aerobics:(通过散步、跑步、游泳、划船、骑车、舞蹈、体操等有节奏运
动等增强心肺循环功能的)有氧运动,健身操。也可以说aerobic exercise. lift
weights :举重。在这里指练哑铃。
4. I could work out in your class with no problem.要我到你们班上去
锻炼锻炼,绝不会有困难。Richard 说这话的意思是,假如有机会一试的话,即
可证明我的能力。
I could ……:我可以……,我能……
work out:这里的意思是锻炼,尤指健身、健美训练。
5. You think so ?
你真的这样认为吗?当对别人的意见不能确定或赞同时,可以使用这句话。
6. Oh , without a doubt. without a doubt :相当于"sure ; of course.
" (当然,毫无问题。)这是用非常肯定的口气来强调自己的话。
