Todd: Now, Shona, you said that you jog.
托德:夏娜,你说过你有慢跑的习惯。
Shona: Yeah, I do.
夏娜:对,没错。
Todd: I'm a jogger too.
托德:我也喜欢慢跑。
Shona: Oh, are you? Fantastic. How often do you do it?
夏娜:哦,是吗?太好了。你多久慢跑一次?
Todd: Well, actually try to go every day.
托德:我努力做到每天都慢跑。
Shona: Oh, OK. How long for?
夏娜:好。那慢跑多长时间?
Todd: Between thirty minutes and an hour, depending on the day. And you?
托德:30分钟到1个小时之间,这要取决于当天的情况。你呢?
Shona: It depends on the day as well. Today it was only like half an hour, but I try to get out for an hour, maybe like four or five times a week, but I used to be like a lot fitter and I just realized today that I'm not as fit as I used to be, so I'm probably gonna pump it up a little bit and do a little bit more, but yeah.
夏娜:我也是要看当天的情况而定。今天我只跑了半个小时,不过我会尽量跑1个小时,每周大概慢跑四五次,我想我以前要健康的多,我今天才发现我不像以前那么健康了,所以我可能会加量,加强锻炼。
Todd: So you said you're not fit. What happened? Did you stop running?
托德:你刚说你健康状况不太好。你怎么了?你要停止跑步吗?
Shona: Yeah, I guess like I've not been doing as much as I used to recently cause I used to do more than just jogging. I went to the gym as well. I did yoga. You know it was like more of a varied workout, but when you just stick to like one exercise alone, like, it tends to kind of make your fitness, like, drop a little bit if you are used to doing like a lot more sports.
夏娜:对,我最近的运动没有以前那么多,以前我除了慢跑以外,还会去健身房,也会做瑜伽。以前我会做多种运动,不过在只做一种运动以后,你会发现健康状况会有点下降,因为你已经习惯了做更多运动。
Todd: Right.
托德:对。
Shona: So I need to vary it a little more.
夏娜:所以我会增加运动方式。
Todd: Well, actually, where do you run? Do you run on the river?
托德:你一般去哪里慢跑?沿着河慢跑吗?
Shona: Yeah, I run down the river. Just along it, to the right-hand side. Just as far as, like fifteen or twenty minutes, and then back.
夏娜:对,我会沿着河跑步。我一般只沿着河的右侧慢跑,大概跑15或20分钟以后就掉头再往回跑。
Todd: Actually, there's a really nice park near here that has a really nice running trail.
托德:我知道有个公园有条适合跑步的路线。
Shona: Oh, really.
夏娜:哦,真的吗?
Todd: That I highly recommend. Yeah. But you got to take the train, and it's, you know, a little... it's four stops. You have to pay a little money, but it's worth it.
托德:我强烈推荐那里。不过要坐火车过去,有点……要坐四站地。要花些钱,不过很值得。
Shona: Oh, wow. Cool. You'll have to tell me where it is.
夏娜:哦,哇,真酷。你一定要告诉我在哪里。
Todd: Sure. I can draw you a map.
托德:当然。我可以画张地图给你。
Shona: Oh, OK, cool.
夏娜:哦,好,太酷了。
Todd: How about, when you run, do you have an ipod? Do you listen to music?
托德:你跑步的时候会带着ipod吗?你会一边听音乐一边跑步吗?
Shona: Yeah. Of course, I take my MP3 players, and it's like, I could not, like, jog without music. On ocassion, I've went out the door, like to go for a jog, and I've just like, I've not been able to. Like I can't. I need music. Otherwise it's just so boring, and to be honest, you know, like it depends if it's a scenic route, like I can cope without music, like I enjoy listening to the birds or whatever, like it's beautiful or what, but if it's like, in the city, or you know, like... I need my music.
夏娜:当然了。我会带着MP3跑步,要是不听音乐我没法跑步。有时我出门跑步的时候会感觉,我无法跑步,因为我需要音乐。没有音乐太无聊了,说实话,这也要取决于跑步的路线,如果有鸟鸣的声音或者那条路线特别美,那我可以不听音乐,但是如果在城市里跑步,那我就需要音乐。
Todd: Oh, I totally agree. I don't know what I would do without my ipod. —Um, what kind of music to you listen to when you jog?
托德:哦,我完全同意你的话。要是不带着ipod我也没法跑步。一般你慢跑时都听哪种类型的音乐?
Shona: When I jog actually, it's different music than I listen to normally cause I like with a heavy beat, so I listen to dance music, or some kind of sixties music or something with lots of melody, and I tend to like longer songs as well because it keeps me going longer. If it's shorter songs then it stops. It keeps stopping. I seem to like lose my pace or something, so I like kind of steady, long beats.
夏娜:我慢跑的时候会听不同类型的音乐,我喜欢重节拍音乐,所以我会听舞曲、六十年代的音乐还有旋律明显的音乐,另外我喜欢时间长些的歌曲,这样我可以跑的时间更长些。如果歌曲时长太短,那就会经常有停顿,这样我的节奏就会被打乱,所以我喜欢平稳、节奏长的音乐。
Todd: Oh, cool, well I'll be sure to get that map to you. You definitely should go jogging in that park. Cool.
托德:哦,真酷,我一定要把地图给你。你一定要去那个公园跑步。很酷。
Shona: Cool. What music do you listen to when you go jogging?
夏娜:太好了。你慢跑时会听哪种音乐?
Todd: Actually, I listen to also music I normally don't listen to. I listen to more hip-hop. I'm older, you know, I'm 37, but it definitely keeps me going when I run.
托德:我会听我一般不会听的音乐类型。慢跑时我会听嘻哈音乐,你知道我已经37岁了,不是那么年轻,不过嘻哈音乐会让我跑步时更有动力。
Shona: Yeah, it's to do with the beat, yeah.
夏娜:对,和节拍有关。
Todd: Right, right. especially when I start. Like I need a couple of good songs to keep me going.
托德:对,没错,尤其是刚开始的时候。我需要一些节拍强的音乐帮助我坚持下去。
Shona: Totally, so, not yeah.
夏娜:是的。
