美語情景對話 第677期:Staying Healthy Overseas 在海外保持健康

Todd: OK, now Keren, we're talking about staying healthy, and you live overseas, and we both know it's quite hard to actually sometimes stay healthy overseas.

託德：凱倫，我們來聊聊保持健康，現在你生活在海外，我們都知道有時在外國很難保持健康。

Keren: Yeah.

凱倫：對。

Todd: First of all, can you talk about Spain? When you lived in Spain was it easy to stay healthy in Spain?

託德：首先，你能說說西班牙的情況嗎？你在西班牙生活的時候，你覺得在西班牙保持健康容易嗎？

Keren: Actually, it's reasonably easy to stay healthy in Spain. The weather's always good and I like jogging so I always had the opportunity to go jogging outside and there's lots of beautiful areas to go jogging along the river or along the beach so it was relatively easy there.

凱倫：實際上，在西班牙保持健康相對來說比較容易。西班牙的天氣通常很好，我喜歡慢跑，而且我也有機會去外面慢跑，西班牙有很多漂亮的地方，可以沿着小河或者海灘慢跑，所以西班牙還相對容易些。

Todd: And where did you live in Spain?

託德：你住在西班牙哪裏？

Keren: I lived in Seville and Barcelona.

凱倫：我在塞維利亞和巴塞羅那都生活過。

Todd: Very nice. OK, now how about Peru? Now you lived in Peru, correct? Where did you live?

託德：真好。那祕魯呢？你也在祕魯生活過，對吧？你在祕魯時住在哪裏？

Keren: I lived in Lima.

凱倫：我住在利馬。

Todd: And was it easy to keep a healthy lifestyle in Peru?

託德：在祕魯保持健康的生活方式容易嗎？

Keren: Well, actually the fruit and vegetables are extremely cheap so, and fruit drinks are really, really popular in Peru. Everybody has their own food processor to make fruit drinks so in terms of food you can stay really, really healthy, really easily. And there's also lots of gyms in Lima actually. Going to the gym is very popular there.

凱倫：祕魯的水果和蔬菜非常便宜，水果飲料在祕魯很受歡迎。所有人都有製作水果飲料的食物加工機，所以在食物方面很容易保持健康。而且利馬有很多健身房，去健身房健身也在祕魯也很流行。

Todd: No way.

託德：不是吧？

Keren: Yeah, yeah.

凱倫：是的，對。

Todd: Well, what about Japan?

託德：那日本呢？

Keren: Japan is kind of the opposite of Peru because I find the fruit and vegetables very, very expensive and so I tend not to buy fruit, only bananas, and I can't believe how expensive the tomatoes cost.

凱倫：日本與祕魯正相反，我發現日本的水果和蔬菜非常貴，所以我儘量不買水果，要買的話也只買香蕉吃，我不敢相信日本的西紅柿賣這麼貴。

Todd: Right. It is crazy, the prices.

託德：對。價格很瘋狂。

Keren: Yeah, it's incredible, and it rains a lot in Japan, I think so it makes it more difficult to go jogging.

凱倫：對，簡直難以想象，日本雨水很多，這也給慢跑增加了難度。

Todd: OK, and just lastly, how about back home in England, is it very easy for you to stay healthy in England?

託德：最後一個問題，你家鄉英國的情況呢，在英國保持健康容易嗎？

Keren: I suppose the average English diet is not so healthy. We tend to like our fatty puddings and fatty foods but there's lots of free or cheap places to do exercise. There's many swimming pools and many gyms so, yeah, if you have the right attitude, it's easy to stay healthy there. Yeah.

凱倫：我認爲英國的飲食並不健康。我們喜歡吃脂肪含量很高的布丁和油膩食物，不過英國有很多可以鍛鍊的地方，而且大部分是免費的，收費的地方也很便宜。英國有許多游泳池和健身房，如果你有態度正確，在英國是很容易保持健康的。

Todd: OK, well, thanks Keren.

託德：好，謝謝你，凱倫。

Keren: It's OK.

凱倫：不客氣。
