美語情景對話 第40期:跑步愛好者 The Runner
Todd: OK, Tim, we're going to talk about running.
好的，蒂姆，我們將討論討論跑步。Tim: OK.
好的。Todd: Now, we've been running the last couple of nights.
我們前幾天晚上一直一起跑步。
Tim: Yeah, that's true.
是的。Todd: And, uh, your much faster than me. You're a fast runner. How often do you run?
你跑得比我快多了。你跑得很快。你多久跑一次步？Tim: Well now I only run about four days a week. But, when I was younger everyday.
現在我每週跑四次。我更年輕的時候每天都跑。Todd: Oh, really. Wow! Did you run in high school or college?
哦，真的。哇！你在高中或大學就開始跑步嗎？Tim: I ran, I started when I was six years old.
是的，我從6歲開始跑步。Todd: No kidding!
你沒開玩笑吧！Tim: And I started running and I ran all through the university.
沒錯，我經常跑步穿過大學校園。Todd: Really!
真的！Tim: Yeah!
是的！Todd: OK. So what events did you do?
好的。你跑過什麼項目？Tim: Middle distance, middle distance which is 1,500 meters to 5,000 meters.
中等距離，1,5000到5000米。Todd: Wow! Are you a better short distance runner or long distance runner?
哇！你短跑更好，還是長跑更好？Tim: Middle distance runner.
我擅長中等距離的跑步。Todd: Middle distance. OK, how far is a middle distance?
中等距離。好的，中等距離有多長？Tim: Oh, 1,500 meters, about.
大概1,500米。Todd: 1,500.
1,500米。Tim: Yeah.
是的。Todd: OK! Ah, what's your fastest time in the 1,500 meters?
好的！你1500米的最好成績是多少？Tim: Ah, 3.... about 3:47.
大約3分47秒。Todd: Three minutes and forty seven seconds.
3分47秒。Tim: Yeah!
是的！Todd: That's pretty fast.
那真是很快了。Tim: Yeah. I did that in high school actually. I wasn't so fast in the university.
是的。那是我在高中時候的成績。我到了大學成績就沒那麼好了。Todd: Oh, wow, man you can fly? No I don't feel so bad when you run so much faster than me.
哦，哇，你成飛人了？那我不會沮喪你比我跑得快了。Tim: I've been slowing down. I've been drinking beer so I don't run so fast anymore.
我現在跑得慢了。自從我喝了啤酒就再也跑得不快了。Todd: Yeah, we're getting older. Actually, um, I'm 33. How old are you?
是的，我們都變老了。事實上，我有33歲。你多大？Tim: I'm 27.
我27歲。Todd: 27. Oh, OK. So, do you think you'll be running your whole life?
27歲。哦，好的。你認爲你會一輩子都堅持跑步嗎？Tim: I think so, yeah. I grew up in the woods, everyday in the woods, so I really want to get back to running in the woods. I think it is really healthy to do.
我想是的。我在林間長大，每天都泡在樹林裏，所以我很想回到森林中繼續跑。我想那樣很健康。Todd: Yeah. That's nice. OK. Thanks a lot, Tim.
這很好。好的，謝謝你蒂姆。注：譯文屬原創，未經允許，請勿轉載。
