【走遍美国精讲笔记】第4课：没问题 ACT 2 - 2

ACT 2-2 “我没法相信！”

【故事梗概】

Richard在健身中心拍了很多照片后回家了。他活蹦乱跳的表现让Marilyn很是怀疑。她无法相信一个人在有氧运动课后会腿和手臂一点都不痛。

Jack: Hi.
Instructor: Oh, hi.
Jack: Are we ready to go?
Instructor: Yeah. Yeah. Let's get in our lines. We're going to take it slow first. Stretch up…and we're going to go left first …2, 3, 4…now switch. OK, hold to the right. Sunrises. Stretch it out. Flat back. Bring it up…and twists… and side… 2, 3… and left …push…push…turn…hit the floor. Take it side again. … OK, and switch. Stretch it out. And we're going to warm down with a tango. Left, right. Enjoy it.

Marilyn: Richard, did you go to the Davis Aerobics class today?
Richard: Yes, I went to the aerobics class today.
Marilyn: What is wrong with you?
Richard: Nothing, I am in excellent health. I have ideal blood pressure. A perfect heart. In other words, I'm in wonderful condition.
Marilyn: Richard, did you go to the aerobics class, really?
Richard: Don't forget to invite Susan for dinner.
Marilyn: And your legs don't hurt?
Richard: Hurt? What do you mean?
Marilyn: What about your arms? Lift you arms up like this. And they don't hurt--not even a little?
Richard: Nope.
Marilyn: You are in great condition. I can't believe it!

1. Let's get in our lines. We're going to take it slow first.
请大家站好位置。我们开始先慢一点。本情景出现了许多描述健身操动作的短语，我们来一起看一下：
stretch up: 向上伸展。
we're going to go left first: 先向左边。
now switch: 现在换方向
OK, hold to the right: 好，保持在右边。
sunrises: 双手合抱上举。
stretch it out: 伸展。
flat back: 水平拉回。
bring it up…and twists… and side…: 抬起...然后扭腰… 然后侧转。
and left …push…push…turn…: 向左…推…推…转身。
hit the floor: 触地板。
take it side again… OK, and switch: 再来侧转…好，再换方向。
And we're going to warm down with a tango.: 我们用探戈舞来作为放松动作。warm down，指运动后的放松运动，整理运动。

2. I am in excellent health.
in excellent health指“身体棒极了”。与后面出现的"in wonderful condition"以及"in great condition"同义。

3. Lift you arms up like this.
像我这样抬起胳膊来。lift arms up，“抬起胳膊，把胳膊举起来”。

4. I can't believe it.
我没法相信！用以表达惊讶，怀疑，难以置信的感情。
