美語情景對話 第676期:Staying Healthy 保持健康

Todd: OK, Keren, we're talking about health. And, first of all, do you do anything to stay in shape? Like do you exercise or belong to a gym or anything?

託德：凱倫，我們來談談健康。首先，你有沒有做些事情來保持身材？你有鍛鍊或是去健身房嗎？

Keren: At the moment, I don't belong to a gym but I go jogging. Usually I go jogging four times a week, and I always go in the morning because for me it's the best time to exercise because it keeps me awake all day, but at the moment I don't do any other exercise.

凱倫：目前我沒有去健身房，我有在慢跑。一般來說，一週裏有四天我會慢跑，我通常會在早上慢跑，因爲我認爲早上是鍛鍊的最佳時間，可以讓我一整天保持清醒，除了慢跑我沒有做其他的運動。

Todd: Wow, just the running.

託德：哇，只是跑步。

Keren: Just the running.

凱倫：對，只是跑步。

Todd: Yeah, well, that's pretty good that you get up and go running in the morning, I have a hard time like running early in the morning.

託德：嗯，你早起，在早上跑步，這點非常好，在清晨跑步對我來說很難。

Keren: Yeah, I think it's easy in the summer because it's really light and the weather's better but in the winter I find it really difficult and actually the last few weeks I've stopped jogging.

凱倫：嗯，我認爲在夏天慢跑比較容易，因爲白天很長，而且天氣也很好，可是在冬天跑步很難，一年中最後幾個星期我就不去慢跑了。

Todd: It's OK, I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm in the same boat... OK, so let's change the talk to diet.

託德：嗯，我和你情況差不多。我也是這樣……好，下面我們換個話題，來聊聊飲食吧。

Keren: OK.

凱倫：好。

Todd: Do you have a healthy diet?

託德：你有健康的飲食習慣嗎？

Keren: Reasonably healthy. I'm semi-vegetarian so I don't eat meat. I only eat fish and I eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but I also like my junk food and usually once a day I eat either potato chips or cake, so yeah, I have a balanced diet.

凱倫：相對來說比較健康。我是半素食者，我不吃肉。我吃魚還有大量的水果和蔬菜，不過我也喜歡垃圾食品，每天有一餐我會吃薯片或蛋糕，我的飲食很均衡。

Todd: And lastly, do you do anything else to stay healthy? Like for example, do you do yoga or do you meditate or do you get so many hours of sleep night?

託德：最後一個問題，爲了保持健康你都做了哪些努力？比如說，你做瑜珈嗎，做冥想嗎，還是晚上會保證充足睡眠？

Keren: It would be great if I could get eight hours sleep a night but I don't and I don't do yoga. I actually find walking very relaxing and usually when I'm at home in Britain I walk a lot.

凱倫：如果我晚上能睡八個小時就太好了，可是我沒有做到，我也不做瑜珈。我發現走路是放鬆的好方法，我在英國的家裏時會多去散步。

Todd: OK, thanks a lot Keren.

託德：好，非常謝謝你，凱倫。

Keren: That's OK.

凱倫：不客氣。
