託德：莫妮卡，剛纔我們聊了太極拳以及太極拳如何有助於益壽和長壽。我在曼谷的時候認識了一個練太極拳的人，他看起來非常年輕，他說他保持年輕的祕訣是練太極拳和洗冷水澡。他每天早上都洗冷水澡。
Monica: Oh, wow!
莫妮卡：哦，哇哦!
Todd: Could you do that?
託德：你能這麼做嗎?
Monica: No, I don't think I could actually.
莫妮卡：不能，我想我做不到。
Todd: Yeah, you know, I actually tried it for awhile and I tried it for about a week and I did feelso energized and it was easy in Bangkok, cause it's really warm but I couldn't keep it up,especially not that I'm in the cold climate. There's no way.
託德：我曾經嘗試過一段時間，我嘗試過一週的時間，那段時間我的確感覺充滿能量，這在曼谷很容易做到，因爲曼谷天氣非常暖和，不過我沒能堅持下去，尤其是在寒冷的氣候裏。
Monica: Yeah, I remember when I was young, my mother used to teach me to splash my facewith cold water in the morning because she believed that helped wake you up, and Iremember as a child not liking that at all because I just found it too cold. So I preferred tosplash my face with warm water.
莫妮卡：我記得我小時候，我媽媽曾教我在早上用涼水洗臉，她認爲這樣有助於讓人清醒，可是我小時候非常不喜歡這樣做，因爲我覺得那樣太冷了。我喜歡用溫水洗臉。
Todd: So, have you heard about any other secrets to having a long life?
託德：你聽說過其他長壽祕訣嗎?
Monica: Yeah, I've heard of quite a few different secrets to having a long life. I guess onesecret that a lot of different cultural groups seem to share is diet. If you take the Japanese asan example, and Japanese people do have a long life expectancy in comparison to otherpeople from ofher countries. I think the Japanese eat a diet that's quite low in fat andreasonably low in salt as well, and I think their fluid intake is quite healthy because they drink alot of green tea which has antioxidants in it, and a they drink a lot of miso soup which has a lotof vegetables in it, and is made from fermented barley, so I think that's very healthy.
莫妮卡：我聽說過很多不同的長壽祕訣。其中不同文化羣體都同意的祕訣是飲食。以日本人爲例，與其他國家的人相比，日本人的壽命很長。我認爲日本人的飲食低脂低鹽，而且他們的液體攝入非常健康，因爲他們飲用大量的綠茶，綠茶含有抗氧化劑，而且他們喝含有很多蔬菜的味噌湯，味噌湯由大麥發酵而成，我認爲這非常健康。
Todd: I've also heard that people in the Mediterranean, they also often have a long life span incertain regions and maybe the combination of wine, just a little wine, not too much, but wineand olive oil, and then a lot of fish, seafood is also maybe beneficial to a long life.
託德：我還聽說地中海一些地區的人壽命也很長，因爲他們喝紅酒，不是喝太多，只是喝一點紅酒，他們還食用橄欖油，另外魚和海鮮應該也有益於長壽。
Monica: Yeah, that's true. I've heard French people for example live a long life and that hasoften been said due to a glass of red wine a day, and I know people think differently aboutalcohol and it's affect on the body these days.
莫妮卡：對，沒錯。我聽說法國人很長壽，聽說這是因爲他們每天喝一杯紅酒，我知道最近人們對酒精以及酒精對人體的影響有不同的看法。
Todd: Right.
託德：是的。
Monica: Yeah, because alcohol used to be considered quite a bad thing and discouraged in allforms but now people tend to think that a glass a day is actually quite beneficial to yourhealth.
莫妮卡：對，因爲酒精以前被認爲是不好的東西，所有形式的酒精都應該禁止，不過現在人們傾向於認爲每天一杯酒對健康有好處。
Todd: I've also actually heard that laughter, that people that laugh a lot tend to live longer.
託德：我還聽說過多笑有助於長壽。
Monica: Yeah, I've heard that too, actually, because laughing releases natural endorphins, andI think that helps you physiologically, and also I think psychologically you're happier iflaughing so. Yeah, I think that long life is related to how you are feeling, and I think a lot of itis psychological as well as physical, for example, how much you are eating and what types offood you're eating.
莫妮卡：對，我也聽說過這個，因爲笑會自然產生內啡肽，我認爲這從生理上來講有好處，而且從生理上來說，多笑笑會更幸福。我認爲長壽與人的感覺有關，與心理和生理都有很大聯繫，舉個例子，長壽與飯量以及飲食種類有關。
Todd: Yeah, I guess, I'm kind of in the same boat, but I just don't know if I laugh that e I'm in trouble.
託德：對，我想我的處境相同，不過我不知道我有沒有笑那麼多。也許我陷入困境了。
英語經典情景對話2Todd: So, Monica, you do Tai Chi?
託德：莫妮卡，你練太極拳?
Monica: Yes, I've just joined a Tai Chi club.
莫妮卡：對，我加入了太極拳俱樂部。
Todd: What made you join the Tai Chi club?
託德：你爲什麼加入太極拳俱樂部?
Monica: Well, I wanted to do something that was a lot different to what I usually do, which ishigh impact sports like basketball and tennis.
莫妮卡：我想做與我之前做的不一樣的運動，我以前經常做的運動是籃球、網球等劇烈運動。
Todd: So, you wanted to do something that was slower?
託德：你想做一些慢運動?
Monica: Yeah, well, I don't usually enjoy exercise that is quite slow such as yoga, but Idecided to join this club and I'm really enjoying it.
莫妮卡：對，我不太經常做瑜珈之類的慢運動，不過我決定加入太極拳俱樂部，而且我很享受這個運動。
Todd: So, what exactly is Tai Chi? What do you do in Tai Chi?
託德：太極拳是種什麼運動?太極拳怎麼做?
Monica: Well, there are different types of Tai Chi. There's the original Tai Chi which involvesquick fast movements, and then there's a slower form of Tai Chi which is quite popular inJapan. I think it's called Mr. Young Tai Chi, and that involves very slow pronouncedmovements, and that's the Tai Chi that I'm doing.
莫妮卡：嗯，太極拳有不同的種類。傳統太極拳包括快動作，慢動作的太極拳在日本非常受歡迎。我想那稱爲楊氏太極拳，動作非常緩慢，我現在練的就是這種太極拳。
Todd: How do you feel? Like after you do Tai Chi, do you feel tired? Do you feel energetic?
託德：你感覺怎麼樣?在練太極拳以後，你會感覺很累嗎?還是會感覺充滿活力?
Monica: After I've done Tai Chi I feel quite energetic actually. I don't really feel tired becauseI haven't had a really hard workout, but I feel that my mind is very relaxed and focused andthat I'm very motivated to do whatever I need to do for the rest of the day.
莫妮卡：實際上，我練完太極拳以後感覺充滿活力。我感覺並不是很累，因爲沒有進行大強度訓練，我的大腦感到非常放鬆，而且注意力集中，這使我有動力去做一天中要做的事情。
Todd: Now, you actually are a tennis coach, so you teach sports. Would you recommend TaiChi for other athletes?
託德：你是網球教練，你教授運動。你會把太極拳推薦給其他運動員嗎?
Monica: Yeah, I do recommend Tai Chi for other athletes. It's quite difficult to know exactlyhow you would benefit from Tai Chi, and how it can directly relate a specific sport, but I'veheard that it works on your energy levels, and focuses your mind so that everything is inbalance, and I think that can help in kind of sport because even in a sport like tennis, it'simportant to have balance when you're hitting the ball, when you're volleying, when you'regetting ready for a smash. It actually involves having balance in terms of where your center ofgravity is, so yeah, the concepts are similar.
莫妮卡：會。我建議其他運動員也練太極拳。很難明確說明練太極拳會帶來多大好處，太極拳與某項運動有何直接聯繫，不過我聽說太極拳對精力有好處，能使注意力更集中，保持平衡，我認爲這對網球這類運動有好處，打網球擊球時、打排球扣球時，保持平衡非常重要。這些運動都要保持重心平衡，所以概念是相通的。
