Richard 在健身中心拍了很多照片后回家了。他活蹦亂跳的表現(xiàn)讓Marilyn
很是懷疑。她無(wú)法相信一個(gè)人在有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)課后會(huì)腿和手臂一點(diǎn)都不痛。

    Jack： Hi. Instructor ： Oh ， hi. Jack ： Are we ready to go ？

    Instructor： Yeah. Yeah. Let's get in our lines. We're going to take
it slow first. Stretch up …and we're going to go left first…2 ， 3，
4 …now switch. OK， hold to the right. Sunrises. Stretch it out. Flat
back. Bring it up …and twists… and side … 2， 3… and left …push…

    push…turn…hit the floor. Take it side again.… OK ， and switch.
Stretch it out. And we're going to warm down with a tango. Left ， right.
Enjoy it.

    Marilyn ： Richard， did you go to the Davis Aerobics class today ？

    Richard ： Yes， I went to the aerobics class today. Marilyn： What
is wrong with you ？

    Richard ： Nothing， I am in excellent health. I have ideal blood
pressure. A perfect heart. In other words ， I'm in wonderful condition.
Marilyn ： Richard， did you go to the aerobics class ， really ？

    Richard ： Don't forget to invite Susan for dinner. Marilyn ： And
your legs don't hurt？

    Richard ： Hurt ？ What do you mean ？

    Marilyn ： What about your arms ？ Lift you arms up like this. And
they don't hurt ——not even a little ？

    Richard ： Nope. Marilyn： You are in great condition. I can't believe
it！

    「語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講」

    1. Let's get in our lines. We're going to take it slow first. 請(qǐng)大
家站好位置。我們開(kāi)始先慢一點(diǎn)。本情景出現(xiàn)了許多描述健身操動(dòng)作的短語(yǔ)，我
們來(lái)一起看一下：stretch up：向上伸展。

    we're going to go left first：先向左邊。

    now switch：現(xiàn)在換方向OK， hold to the right：好，保持在右邊。

    sunrises：雙手合抱上舉。

    stretch it out：伸展。

    flat back ：水平拉回。

    bring it up …and twists… and side …：抬起……然后扭腰…然后側(cè)轉(zhuǎn)。

    and left…push…push…turn…：向左…推…推…轉(zhuǎn)身。

    hit the floor ：觸地板。

    take it side again… OK ， and switch ：再來(lái)側(cè)轉(zhuǎn)…好，再換方向。

    And we're going to warm down with a tango.：我們用探戈舞來(lái)作為放松
動(dòng)作。warm down ，指運(yùn)動(dòng)后的放松運(yùn)動(dòng)，整理運(yùn)動(dòng)。

    2. I am in excellent health. in excellent health指“身體棒極了”。

    與后面出現(xiàn)的"in wonderful condition"以及"in great condition"同義。

    3. Lift you arms up like this.像我這樣抬起胳膊來(lái)。lift arms up，
“抬起胳膊，把胳膊舉起來(lái)”。

    4. I can't believe it.我沒(méi)法相信！用以表達(dá)驚訝，懷疑，難以置信的感
情。
