美語情景對話 第958期:New Gym 新健身房

Rebecca: Hey, Todd, I'm going and looking for a gym. Actually, I hear you've joined a gym. Which one?

麗貝卡：嗨，託德，我在找健身房。我聽說你在一家健身房辦了會員。你去的是哪一個？

Todd: Yeah, actually, there's a real nice gym down town. It just opened about a month ago. Maybe two months ago. It's really nice.

託德：對，商業區那裏有一家很不錯的健身房。那裏是一個月前剛開業的，也可能是兩個月前。真的很不錯。

Rebecca: OK, what's the name of it?

麗貝卡：好，那家健身房的名字是什麼？

Todd: The name is Fitness Club.

託德：名字是“健身俱樂部”。

Rebecca: Good name.

麗貝卡：不錯的名字。

Todd: Yeah, so, and it's pretty much has everything. I mean it has, you know, free weights, of course and it has all the latest machines.

託德：對，那裏什麼都有。我的意思是，那家健身房有自由力量的器械還有所有的最新器械。

Rebecca: Ah, good.

麗貝卡：很好。

Todd: Actually some of the machines are kind of tricky, I really don't know how they work yet. I'll have to ask the staff.

託德：一些器械很複雜，我現在還不知道要怎麼用。我得問問工作人員。

Rebecca: So it's more than a treadmill? It's a whole big machine that you don't know how what to do?

麗貝卡：不只是跑步機？是那種很全面的器械，所以你不知道怎麼操作？

Todd: Exactly. I'm actually afraid to get on the thing. I don't want to break it, you know.

託德：沒錯。我都不敢用那些器械，因爲我不想弄壞它們。

Rebecca: Is there people that can help you?

麗貝卡：有沒有人能幫你？

Todd: Yeah, actually, that's part of the problem is that you can't use any of the equipment unless you get trained for it. They're really specific, so you have to have guidance. It's kind of annoying actually because, you know, everything... they have a system and they know based on, you know, your membership what machines you can use and what you can't.

託德：這就是問題所在，你在沒有接受訓練前不能使用任何器材。因爲那些器材很複雜，所以操作時必須有人指導。這有些煩人，那家健身房有個系統，依據你的會員資格，系統會限定你能用的器材和你不用能的器材。

Rebecca: OK. But what happens if, like I've been to a gym before do I still need to get the training before I start?

麗貝卡：嗯。那要是我以前有去過健身房，那我在使用器械前還需要接受培訓嗎？

Todd: Yeah. That's how I was. I told them that I, you know, had been lifting weights for awhile and they didn't care, so you have to get certified to use all the equipment. It's kind of inconvenient.

託德：需要。我就是這樣的。我跟他們說，我已經進行了一段時間的舉重訓練，可是他們並不關心，你想要使用所有的器材就必須得到他們的許可。這有點兒不方便。

Rebecca: OK, so, do they have classes though?

麗貝卡：好，他們也有開設課程嗎？

Todd: They do. Actually, they pretty much have everything. They have yoga, kick boxing, spin classes, dancing, so the schedule looks pretty diverse.

託德：有。那裏基本上有所有的課程。有瑜伽、搏擊、動感單車、舞蹈等課程，安排非常多樣化。

Rebecca: Oh, that's good. I do prefer classes than the weights.

麗貝卡：哦，這很好。相比於舉重，我更喜歡各種健身課。

Todd: Only one thing that's bad about the classes though is that cause it's new, and it's a new gym and there's lots of people and it looks like it's pretty crowded in there, I think you have to reserve what classes you're going to join.

託德：我覺得這種課程只有一點不好，因爲這家健身房是新開的，所以人非常多，每種課程人都很多，我想你得預約你想上的課。

Rebecca: Oh, really.

麗貝卡：哦，是嗎？

Todd: Yeah, isn't that terrible.

託德：對，這是不是有些糟糕？

Rebecca: Oh, geez, I usually just like to walk in.

麗貝卡：哦，天哪，我基本上都是直接去上課。

Todd: Right, right, right.

託德：對，對，沒錯。

Rebecca: Yeah, when you feel like going to the gym, you go.

麗貝卡：對，就是在你想去健身房的時候直接去就好了。

Todd: Right, right. One thing that is nice though is they have an actual gym floor, like a basketball gym, so you can play basketball. They have volleyball tournaments, so I mean, if you like more traditional sport, like tennis, they also have tennis courts. You can do that as well.

託德：對，沒錯。不過我覺得那家健身房很好的一點是，他們有真正的體育館地板，有那種籃球館的地板，所以可以打籃球。那裏還會辦排球賽，如果你喜歡網球這種傳統體育，你可以在那裏的網球場打網球。你也可以在那裏體驗傳統體育。

Rebecca: Oh, that's good. I do like tennis. I love tennis actually.

麗貝卡：哦，這不錯。我喜歡網球。我非常喜歡網球。

Todd: Well, actually, if you're interested I'd be glad to take you down to the gym and show you. I think you get a free trial workout.

託德：如果你感興趣的話，我可以帶你去那家健身房看看。我想你可以免費試用一下。

Rebecca: OH, that's good. That's good. So how much would it cost per month?

麗貝卡：哦，這很好，太好了。一個月要多少錢？

Todd: Well, cause it's new it's kind of expensive. It costs about fifty dollars a month.

託德：因爲這家健身房剛開業，所以有點兒貴。一個月大概50美元。

Rebecca: Oh, wow!

麗貝卡：哦哇！

Todd: Yeah, but if you buy a membership, a two-year membership, you can get a two year membership, I think for eight hundred dollars, so it saves you some money so it's kind of reasonable.

託德：嗯，如果你辦會員的話，兩年的會員價是800美元，這樣可以省點兒錢，還挺合理的。

Rebecca: And I suppose if you pay for two, you know you have to go then.

麗貝卡：如果辦兩年會員，那就一定會去。

Todd: Right. Right. It's eight hundred dollars for two years, five hundred dollars for one year, or fifty dollars a month.

託德：對，沒錯。兩年800美元，一年500美元，一個月50美元。

Rebecca: OK, yeah.

麗貝卡：好。

Todd: Oh, one thing that's really cool too is that they have a social center. They have like an area where you can get like fruit drinks and coffee and stuff like that and just hang out. It's quite nice.

託德：哦，還有一件很酷的事情，他們有一個社交中心。你可以在那裏享用果汁、咖啡之類的飲料，可以享受休閒時光。非常不錯。

Rebecca: That's good. So after the workout, go and have coffee.

麗貝卡：這很好。健身以後可以去喝咖啡。

Todd: Right. Right.

託德：對，是的。

Rebecca: Lovely. OK. So, yeah, I would love to come and have a look at it.

麗貝卡：真不錯。好，我想過去看看。

Todd: OK, well next week, anytime, just give me a call. I'll take you there.

託德：可以，下週你可以隨時給我打電話。我帶你過去。

Rebecca: Alright. Great. Thanks.

麗貝卡：好，太棒了，謝謝。
