美語情景對話 第421期:Running 跑步

I'm going to talk for a few minutes about running because running is something that I really love and also really hate. It's funny how you can love something and hate something at the same time.

我要用幾分鐘談談跑步，因爲跑步是我真的很喜歡，也很討厭的事情。既愛又恨某件事其實很有意思。

I like to go running in the park, particularly after a long day at work when you've been inside for the whole day it's really nice to go outside in the fresh air and get some exercise, and after the run is finished you feel so good: You feel really good about yourself and you know that you've done something worthwhile and something which is healthy too. Sometimes I like to go to the gym and I like to run on the treadmill, but I think it's easier to run on the treadmill than it is to run outside on the concrete or on the grass.

我喜歡在公園裏跑步，尤其是在一整天的工作結果之後，在室內待了一整天以後，去室外呼吸一下新鮮空氣、做些運動真的很不錯，跑步之後你會感覺很好：你會感覺很舒服，你知道你做了值得去做的事情，而且這件事情還很健康。有時我喜歡去健身房跑步，我喜歡在跑步機上跑步，我認爲在跑步機上跑步要比在水泥地或者草地上跑步容易。
