Upper-Intermediate - Calisthenics A: (D0630) 瞧你,肚子又大了一圈。跟我锻炼吧! Qiáo nı̌, dùzi yòu dà le yı̄quān. Gēn wǒ duànliàn ba! Look at you, growing that spare tire. Exercise with me. B: 你不是最讨厌去健身房吗? Nı̌ bù shı̀ zuı̀ tǎoyàn qù jiànshēnfáng ma? But don’t you hate going to the gym more than anything? A: 锻炼又不是只有在健身房才能做。我每天系统性 地做仰卧起坐、 俯卧撑、 引体向上来塑造肌肉、 保持体形。你看,效果真的不错! Duànliàn yòu bù shı̀ zhı̌yǒu zài jiànshēnfáng cáinéng zuò. Wǒ měitiān xı̀tǒngxı̀ng de zuò yǎngwòqı̌zuò, fǔwòchēng, yı̌ntı̌xiàngshàng lái sùzào jı̄ròu, bǎochı́ tı̌xı́ng. Nı̌ kàn, xiàoguǒ zhēnde bùcuò! It’s not like the gym is the only place you can exercise. Every day I systematically do sit-ups, push-ups, and chin-ups in order to tone my muscles and stay in shape. Look, the effects are not bad! B: 哦哟,搞了半天就是这些最基本的动作。这算什 么锻炼呀?健身房里的器械练力量和耐力效果又 快又好。而且还能看美女。 Visit the Online Review and Discussion (text version). c 2007 Praxis Language Ltd. Oyō, gǎo le bàntiān jiùshı̀ zhèxiē zuı̀ jı̄běn de dòngzuò. Zhè suàn shénme duànliàn ya? Jiànshēnfáng lı̌ de qı̀xiè liàn lı̀liang hé nàilı̀ xiàoguǒ yòu kuài yòu hǎo. Érqiě hái néng kàn měinü ǔ. Oh, after all that it’s just these basic exercises. This counts as a workout? The exercise machines in the gym work on strength and stamina and get fast, good results. Plus you can check out the girls. A: 你这个色狼,健身都不忘泡妞。你别小看这几个 简单的动作,它们可是能锻炼身上各个部位。整 体效果可好了。而且练出来的肌肉很自然。不像 健身房练出来的那么僵硬。看上去四肢发达,头 脑简单。 Nı̌ zhège sèláng, jiànshēn dōu bù wàng pàoniū. Nı̌ bié xiǎokàn zhè jı̌ ge jiǎndān de dòngzuò, tāmen kěshı̀ néng duànliàn shēnshàng gègè bùwèi. Zhěngtı̌ xiàoguǒ kě hǎo le. Érqiě liàn chūlai de jı̄ròu hěn zı̀rán. Bù xiàng jiànshēnfáng liàn chūlai de nàme jiāngyı̀ng. Kàn shangqu sı̀zhı̄ fādá, tóunǎo jiǎndān. You perv. Can’t even stop macking to work out. Don’t underestimate these simple exercises. They exercise the different parts of the body. The overall results are quite good. Plus the muscle you build is very natural. It’s not like the inflexible muscle that a gym will give you, four bulky limbs and a simple mind. Visit the Online Review and Discussion (text version). c 2007 Praxis Language Ltd. B: 你这是典型的酸葡萄心态。那种肌肉才有型。再 说了,你的锻炼方法见效太慢。要做多少个仰卧 起坐才能练出六块腹肌啊? Nı̌ zhè shı̀ diǎnxı́ng de suānpútao xı̄ntài. Nàzhǒng jı̄ròu cái yǒuxı́ng. Zàishuō le, nı̌ de duànliàn fāngfǎ jiànxiào tài màn. Yào zuò duōshao ge yǎngwòqı̌zuò cáinéng liànchū liù kuài fùjı̄ a? This is a classic ”sour grapes” attitude. That kind of muscle is sculpted. Besides, your exercise method takes too long to get results. How many sit-ups do you need to do to get a six-pack? A: 可是这些动作的效果持久呀。而且就是因为做起 来方便,没有场地限制。所以不管在家,还是出 差,都能很轻松地做到。这是真正把锻炼变成生 活的一部分。不像去健身房,既麻烦,又枯燥。 难怪好多人最后都放弃了。 Kěshı̀ zhèxiē dòngzuò de xiàoguǒ chı́jiǔ ya.

But the effects of these exercises are lasting. Also, because they’re convenient, they’re not limited by location. So whether it’s at home or on a business trip, you can always easily do them. It really is truly making exercise a part of your life. It’s not like going to the gym–a nuisance and dull. It’s no wonder so many people quit in the end.
