夏娜：哦，是吗？太好了|DmYK&c0cO&%。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#GRjPq06]ZM。
Shona: Oh, OK. How long for?
夏娜：好+~%lVN+t@anv。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Rw5G80r%GTS9!C。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Qnf)O!qn+1Lu0he9R。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XWr|A-kyEf&+xG。
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H1][M|KNsL=_GW5V。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sVN91IGivkVvqXL4L=g1。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,u,25Corad_aQ~E。
Todd: Right.
托德：对pBUlsC5Y;|d。
Shona: So I need to vary it a little more.
夏娜：所以我会增加运动方式O|a(=i9SW49。
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Z6zNcavC]ovV1^bsw。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2GLzrfvPR]|@!A。
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@I,_=mLFSR-!v9.Y5Hm。
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^pX@xt@&XwQ-d68。不过要坐火车过去，有点……要坐四站地u.r)NO*jPTUixvK0。要花些钱，不过很值得;]a%Y5C^uo;y。
Shona: Oh, wow. Cool. You'll have to tell me where it is.
夏娜：哦，哇，真酷B2CNZmLd.1,_KRx5。你一定要告诉我在哪里dUJl;E66;-uT。
Todd: Sure. I can draw you a map.
托德：当然ewj(eD=Ey,LXY9;。我可以画张地图给你u#!z6LJtGz(F^。
Shona: Oh, OK, cool.
夏娜：哦，好，太酷了cUDXk-vlk[xIA。
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a(t44PqWi%。我会带着MP3跑步，要是不听音乐我没法跑步[rT0meIn3~C;7(_0n。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70Zl4thLvT((。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QU^BeFJA@U(qH。
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lMd8]QZGf^Z。要是不带着ipod我也没法跑步FRpZPERyle4zB[Er5。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V1h^ej|1fa*OC.%#rm。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-7mr3utl_A。
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,0|Nev8cl@_。你一定要去那个公园跑步6dP1^2GtMJz|b1。很酷Nl]%+Xuu)Jo;(0r。
Shona: Cool. What music do you listen to when you go jogging?
夏娜：太好了aNACksho1M。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tYd)nEUD+*ZvV%S-。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*h^xi0ZxYI。
Shona: Yeah, it's to do with the beat, yeah.
夏娜：对，和节拍有关YepxUvocCAP。
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kX=~vyW[^dSdzJeQ。我需要一些节拍强的音乐帮助我坚持下去3,lN__)xh)eo&8xC]L_B。
Shona: Totally, so, not yeah.
夏娜：是的%6Yx;8i5i||iS]lmB.。
