情景对话
Todd: Michael Johnson doesn’t look graceful, but he sure is powerful.

Steve: If I were on as many steroids as he was, I think I’d be powerful, too.

Todd: What are you talking about?! He’s passed every drug test he’s taken!

Steve: Those drug tests don’t mean anything! He probably took some other drugs to mask the steroids.

Todd: Just because Ben Johnson was juiced up doesn’t mean all athletes are.

Steve: OK, OK. I’m feeling a little dehydrated. Let’s get something to drink.

参考译文

托德：迈克尔•约翰逊看起来是不优雅，不过他爆发力十足。

史提：若我使用跟他一样多的类固醇，我想我也会很有爆发力的。

托德：你在说什么？！他每次都通过了药检！

史提：那些药检没半点意义！他八成吃了其它的药来掩饰类固醇。

托德：只因为班•琼森被检验出有用禁药，并不代表所有的运动员都是这样。

史提：好吧，好吧。我觉得有点脱水了，我们去喝点东西。
