莫妮卡：对，我加入了太极拳俱乐部~h9]oY*WMQZnR。
Todd: What made you join the Tai Chi club?
托德：你为什么加入太极拳俱乐部？
Monica: Well, I wanted to do something that was a lot different to what I usually do, which is high impact sports like basketball and tennis.
莫妮卡：我想做与我之前做的不一样的运动，我以前经常做的运动是篮球、网球等剧烈运动iZePo-C+SXCAR&H6。
Todd: So, you wanted to do something that was slower?
托德：你想做一些慢运动？
Monica: Yeah, well, I don't usually enjoy exercise that is quite slow such as yoga, but I decided to join this club and I'm really enjoying it.
莫妮卡：对，我不太经常做瑜珈之类的慢运动，不过我决定加入太极拳俱乐部，而且我很享受这个运动BTRG#[QTj8VK。
Todd: So, what exactly is Tai Chi? What do you do in Tai Chi?
托德：太极拳是种什么运动？太极拳怎么做？
Monica: Well, there are different types of Tai Chi. There's the original Tai Chi which involves quick fast movements, and then there's a slower form of Tai Chi which is quite popular in Japan. I think it's called Mr. Young Tai Chi, and that involves very slow pronounced movements, and that's the Tai Chi that I'm doing.
莫妮卡：嗯，太极拳有不同的种类X_PM30%%y&7J(x2*K~。传统太极拳包括快动作，慢动作的太极拳在日本非常受欢迎OdDr%mOPq7~,KF=nx。我想那称为杨氏太极拳，动作非常缓慢，我现在练的就是这种太极拳-5vJskTRkH9VR3vWI。
Todd: How do you feel? Like after you do Tai Chi, do you feel tired? Do you feel energetic?
托德：你感觉怎么样？在练太极拳以后，你会感觉很累吗？还是会感觉充满活力？
Monica: After I've done Tai Chi I feel quite energetic actually. I don't really feel tired because I haven't had a really hard workout, but I feel that my mind is very relaxed and focused and that I'm very motivated to do whatever I need to do for the rest of the day.
莫妮卡：实际上，我练完太极拳以后感觉充满活力][!StR@ALR3DP。我感觉并不是很累，因为没有进行大强度训练，我的大脑感到非常放松，而且注意力集中，这使我有动力去做一天中要做的事情sBT5h2^,&%6&。
Todd: Now, you actually are a tennis coach, so you teach sports. Would you recommend Tai Chi for other athletes?
托德：你是网球教练，你教授运动12%IDcOOGu|LU。你会把太极拳推荐给其他运动员吗？
Monica: Yeah, I do recommend Tai Chi for other athletes. It's quite difficult to know exactly how you would benefit from Tai Chi, and how it can directly relate a specific sport, but I've heard that it works on your energy levels, and focuses your mind so that everything is in balance, and I think that can help in kind of sport because even in a sport like tennis, it's important to have balance when you're hitting the ball, when you're volleying, when you're getting ready for a smash. It actually involves having balance in terms of where your center of gravity is, so yeah, the concepts are similar.
莫妮卡：会q[mqEJT]LT2r,;XqxM。我建议其他运动员也练太极拳w2cf*+3V7b。很难明确说明练太极拳会带来多大好处，太极拳与某项运动有何直接联系，不过我听说太极拳对精力有好处，能使注意力更集中，保持平衡，我认为这对网球这类运动有好处，打网球击球时、打排球扣球时，保持平衡非常重要ZBiRFiTQVurrSj*qAPv。这些运动都要保持重心平衡，所以概念是相通的n8]_3x!tH%zw+(M)!W^。
