Dialogue 1

Jingjing: Wow, Mark, looks like you've put on some pounds since I last saw you.
京晶:哇,马克,你看起来比我上次见到你时胖了些啊。
Mark: Yep, I'll admit, I haven't been eating very healthy lately. I've been burning the candle at both ends at work lately. My boss has me working till almost 10:00 every night.
马克:是的,我承认,我最近吃得不太健康,而且一直在熬夜工作。我的老板几乎每天晚上都让我工作到10点。
Jingjing: Well, I suggest you live by some guidelines in order to maintain your health.
京晶:嗯,我给你几条建议,来保持健康。
Mark: Oh, yeah? Like what?
马克:哦?比如说?
Jingjing: Well, you should make some golden rules for yourself, such as always eating at least three meals a day and getting good rest on a daily basis.
京晶:你应该给自己制定一些黄金法则,比如每天至少吃三餐,并且保证良好的睡眠。
Mark: It's easier said than done. I've tried the past couple of months to eat healthy, but I just can't do it.
马克:这谈何容易。我过去的几个月一直在尝试吃得健康,但我就是做不到啊。
Jingjing: You know what they say: trying is dying. Just do it! Come on, you're not the only one who works long hours. If I can do it, so can you. I can't stress the importance of sleep enough. When I wake up in the morning, I feel like a million dollars.
京晶:人们常说:光尝试是不够的,必须全力去做!加油,你不是唯一一个加班工作的人。如果我能做到,你也可以。睡眠最重要了,无论怎么强调都不为过。每当我睡了个好觉早晨醒来的时候,那感觉简直棒极了。
Mark: Okay, I get the point. Starting right now, I'm gonna get back on the grind.
马克:好吧,我明白了。现在开始,我要坚持下去。
Jingjing: Well, you'll have to let me know how it goes. You won't be disappointed!
京晶:你得让我知道你的进展啊。效果一定不会让你失望的!

Mark and Jingjing are standing in line at the movie theater.
马克和京晶在电影院排队买票。
Mark: This movie is gonna be sweet. All of my friends said it was great.
马克:这部电影肯定很棒。我所有的朋友看过都说好。
Jingjing: Oh, that reminds me. Would you mind spotting me a couple of bucks for the movie ticket? I'm running a little low on cash right now.
京晶:噢,你刚好提醒我了。你能不能借我点儿钱买电影票?我最近缺钱。
Mark: Well well well. You always harp on me about being irresponsible with my money. I think you need to practice what you preach.
马克:哎呦喂,你平时总是批评我花钱不节制,原来你自己也没做到啊。
