Taylor: Have you picked a gym yet?
你选好健身房了吗?
Coco: hm I’m still debating. Help me out here. So, I went to 3 places, and they are all different. So, the first one is a cycling club. You go there and sign up for live cycling classes. The second one is more like a bootcamp. They also offer live classes, but you get to do all kinds of workouts in an hour. The third one is a regular gym. You go there and do whatever.
我还在纠结。帮我拿拿主意。我去了三个地方,他们都不一样。第一个是个动感单车俱乐部。你去那里然后报名实时的动感单车课。第二个更像是个训练营。他们也是实时的课,不过你可以在一小时的课中做不同种的锻炼。第三个是一个普通的健身房。你去那里,然后随便干什么都行。
Taylor: It sounds like the second one is the most interesting.
听起来第三个最有意思
Coco: Yeah, I like the second one the most too. But it is also the most expensive one. The best deal is to buy the monthly unlimited membership. But I don’t think I will make the most out of it.
我也最喜欢第二个。但是它也是最贵的。最划算的套餐是无限次月卡。但是我不觉得我能最大化利用它。
Taylor: That is tricky. If I were you, I would try it for a month and see if I show up enough times.
确实难搞(难决定)。如果我是你,我会先试一个月,看看我出现(去)的次数够不够。
Coco: I really hope that I don’t fail myself. I want to convince myself that I can do it.
我很希望我不会让自己失望。我想说服自己,我是可以的。
Taylor: That’s the spirit.
就要这种精神(这就对了)!
