美语情景对话 第710期:More running 跑步
Todd: So, Shona, we both say that we love running. Why do you like to run?
托德:夏娜,我们都喜欢慢跑。你为什么喜欢跑步?Shona: Well, actually, the reason I enjoy running is because a few years ago. I started university. I got a little bit sad, a little bit depressed cause I was away from home for the first time and I was completely new to exercise. I wasn't particularly healthy. You know, I was more into smoking, drinking, and partying and stuff, and one of my friends, like, dragged me out one day and took me for a jog, and I was crap, like, you know, I could only run for like a minute or so, but I just noticed such and affect on my mood and it just completely lifted my mood, and I was like really, really happy afterwards, a runner's high, and like you know, the more I got used to it and the more I could run, the happier I got, and it's just like, it was basically down to that, it was like a emotional thing, rather than anything else.
夏娜:我喜欢跑步的原因要从几年前开始说。当时我刚上大学,因为第一次离开家,我有点伤心难过,当时我是运动新手。我以前并不是很健康,我以前吸烟、喝酒还会参加很多派对,有一天我的一个朋友把我拖出去慢跑,我当时身体很差,我只能跑一分钟左右,不过我发现跑步对我的心情产生了影响,跑步让我的心情变好,这就是跑步者的兴奋感,我越适应,跑步的时间越长,我就感到越开心,我跑步是在调节情感,并不是为了别的。Todd: Wow, that's interesting because you know I'm exactly the same way. Like, people think that I run because it's a chore and I want to stay fit, or I want to lose weight, but actually it's all mental. I look forward to running every day.
托德:哇,这真有趣,我的情况和你一样。别人以为我跑步是在例行公事,是为了保持健康,或者是为了要减重,但其实我跑步是为了心理健康。我每天都在期待跑步。
Shona: Yeah.
夏娜:是这样的。Todd: I never feel like, "Oh, I have to go running." It's always like, "Oh, cool I get to go runnning."
托德:我从来没有我必须要跑步这种感觉。我的想法是:太酷了,我要跑步。Shona: Cool. It's like an addiction kind of in a way.
夏娜:真酷。从某种程度上说就像上瘾一样。Todd: Yeah, I think so. Like, you're right. It does something for your moods, but when you run, now do you like to run with people or do you like to run alone?
托德:对,我也是这么认为的。你说得对。跑步对情绪有影响,你喜欢独自还是和别人一起跑?Shona: No, I like to run alone, completely. I mean, I've tried it like friends and stuff but they're either too quick for me or too slow for me. Like, I like to go at my own pace. So, it's the same with anything, you know. I much prefer to do things alone, like, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but, yeah, I'd say. What about yourself? Do you prefer to go alone or...?
夏娜:我喜欢独自跑步。我试过和朋友们一起跑步,不过不是我跟不上他们就是他们跟不上我。我想保持自己的速度。其他的事情也是一样。所以我更喜欢独自跑步,我不知道这样好不好。你呢?你是喜欢独自跑步还是……?Todd: No, I think exactly what you said. I have a hard time running with other people. They either are faster than you and you have a hard time keeping up, or they're slower than you and you can't really run.
托德:我觉得你说的完全正确。我和其他人一起跑步时也很辛苦。他们要是跑的比你快,你就要很费劲地去跟,他们要是跑的比你慢,你就没法跑了。Shona: Yeah, you can't get in a proper workout or thing. It's not doing the job. Yeah.
夏娜:对,这样不能达到适当的锻炼效果。没有效果。Todd: Yeah, and also, you know, I think it's a great activity because it's free.
托德:对,另外 ,我认为跑步是一项非常棒的运动,因为很自由。Shona: Exactly. Exactly. All you need is like a really good pair of trainers and it doesn't matter where you are in the world. Like and it's a fantastic way to explore as well. Like if you are new to a place, just get on your trainers and go for a jog and you'll like know that place pretty soon, just from running about.
夏娜:没错。完全正确。只需要一双好的运动鞋,在哪里都可以进行。而且跑步也是一种好的探索方法。如果你到了一个新地方,你可以穿上运动鞋去附近慢跑,通过跑步来快速了解那个地方。Todd: Right, I totally agree. It's funny.
托德:没错,我完全同意你的看法。跑步很有意思。
