May: Mom, this is your third bowl of rice!
Shirley: I know but I have no choice. My stomach just keeps crying for more and more.
May: Why? I never saw you eat so much before.
Shirley: I've been going to the gym these days. The exercise makes me hungry all the time.
May: So your stomach is the one that actually gets a lot of work-out.
Shirley: Don't pull my leg.
May: This way you'll probably put on more weight. Will you give up?
Shirley: Surely 1 not. I can feel the results. I'm starting to feel different now.
May: Then how are you gonna deal with the problem of getting extra weight?
Shirley: I'm planning to meet my personal trainer to have the work-out plan fixed 2.
May: Oh, I've got an idea. Why don't you ask Dad to go with you? He badly needs some exercise.
Shirley: Your father is a bit too timid 3. He even doesn't know how to introduce himself.
May: He can just say: “I'm Benjamin. I'm new and shy.”
Shirley: Girl, don't make fun of your Daddy. But I can introduce him to my personal trainer. Maybe one day he will be a fitness 4 freak instead of a cough potato.
May: Who knows!

阿美:妈妈,这是你的第三碗米饭了!
雪莉:我知道,但是我没办法,我的胃总是想要吃更多。
阿美:为什么?以前我从没见过你吃这么多啊。
雪莉:我最近去健身房。锻炼时我总是觉得很饿。
阿美:你的胃一定做了很多的运动喽!
雪莉:别拿我开心了。
阿美:这样你可能会增肥的。你会放弃吗?
雪莉:当然不了,我觉得非常有效果。现在,我开始感觉到(身体的)变化了。
阿美:那你要怎么处理变胖的问题呢?
雪莉:我在考虑见一下我的私人健身教练,改一下健身计划。
阿美:哦,我有一个主意。干吗不叫爸爸和你一起去呢?他很需要运动。
雪莉:你爸爸太胆小了。(我想)他连怎么介绍自己都不知道。
阿美:他只要说:“我是本杰明,我是新来的,我很害羞。”
雪莉:嗨,别拿你爸爸开玩笑。不过,我可以把你爸爸介绍给我的健身教练,也许有一天,你爸爸会变成一个健身狂而不是现在的电视精。
阿美:谁知道呢!

May: My mom goes to a gym these days. She says she can feel the difference now. But I think her stomach is the one that actually gets a lot of work-out because she is eating more than before.
