DORIS: Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get started using these machines?

JOHNSON: Of course. Are you a new member here?

DORIS: Yes.

JOHNSON: Welcome. My name is Johnson.

DORIS: Nice to meet you.

JOHNSON: Do you have any experience using weights?

DORIS: No, I don't. So I need some help.

JOHNSON: Well, first it is important to go through a good stretch.You must warm up properly so that you don't hurt yourself on the machines.

DORIS: Yes, I know that.Derek just led me through the warm up in the aerobics 1 room.So I'm ready, I think. I can start using the machines.

JOHNSON: Alright. Great. Then we must get a card for you.

DORIS: What do you mean--a membership 2 card? I already have one.

JOHNSON: No. Not that. I mean a training card.The card allows you to keep track of how much weight you use on each machine.Here, let me show you.

DORIS: I'm ready.

JOHNSON: Now, you can see that on this card there are all the machines listed.So, when you go through the series of twelve machines,you enter in the number of repetitions 3 you do.And you also enter in the weight at which you set the machine.

DORIS: I see. So this card helps me to keep track of my progress.

JOHNSON: Yes. And it also reminds you what is a suitable weight for each machine.Today, I will go through the machines with you one by one.I will show you how to use them.And we will determine what is a good starting weight for you.

DORIS: Alright. Great.

JOHNSON: So you write your name and member number at the top of the card.And then, after you exercise each time, you file the card here.

DORIS: Great. Why don't we start on the machines?

JOHNSON: Are you alright? Can you do more?

DORIS: I'm sorry. I know there are still seven machines. But I'm exhausted 4.

JOHNSON: That's okay. Don't worry.It's important not to push yourself. Especially not at the beginning.

DORIS: What can I do though?I don't know the proper settings 5 for the rest of the machines.

JOHNSON: We can just go through them next time. It's no problem. Really.The most important thing is to know your limits.So if you feel burned out now, it is good to stop.Because if you strain 6 a muscle or hurt your back,then you won't be able to exercise for a couple weeks. Right?

DORIS: Yes. I suppose it's best to stop.

朵丽思:对不起。你可以告诉我如何开始使用这些器材吗?

詹森:当然,你是这儿的新会员吗?

朵丽思:是的。

詹森:欢迎,我叫詹森。

朵丽思:很高兴认识你。

詹森:你有举重的经验吗?

朵丽思:没有,所以我需要一些帮忙。

詹森:好的,首先伸展运动是很重要的。你必须做适当的热身运动才不会在使用器材时伤了你自己。

朵丽思:是的,我知道。戴瑞克刚刚在健身操室引导我做了些热身。所以,我准备好了,我想。我可以开始使用这些器材。

詹森:好的,太好了,我们必须给你弄一张卡。

朵丽思:什么意思――会员卡吗?我已经有一张了。

詹森:不,不是那个,我是指训练卡。那张卡让你记录自己在每个器材上所用的举重量。来,让我示范给你看。

朵丽思:我准备好了。

詹森:现在,你可以看到卡上列出了所有的器材名称。所以,当你一连使用了十二种器材,你输入你重复做的次数,并且也输入你在器材上所设定的举重量。

朵丽思:我懂了,所以这张卡帮我记录了我的进度。

詹森:是的,它也提醒你每个器材适合的举重量。今天,我会一个一个看你做,我会示范如何使用这些器材,而且我们会为你决定一项起步的器材。

朵丽思:好的,太好了。

詹森:你把名字和会员卡号写在卡的最上面,然后每次运动完,把卡归档在这里。

朵丽思:太好了,我们为何不开始玩器材了?

詹森:你还好吧?可以再做吗?

朵丽思:很抱歉,我知道还有七项器材,但是我已经精疲力尽了。

詹森:没关系,不要担心。不要强迫自己是很重要的,尤其是开始时。

朵丽思:这样我还能做什么?我不清楚其他器材完整的装配。

詹森:我们可以下次再做,没问题,真的。最重要的是知道你的极限。所以如果你觉得体力耗尽了,最好就停住。因为如果你拉伤肌肉或伤了背部,之后几周都没法运动了,对不对?

朵丽思:是的,我想最好就此打住吧。
