中文

A：兄弟，我想减脂并保持身材。

B：哦，是吗，那么每天跟我一起去健身房消耗热量吧。

A：我想去，不过我根本不知道怎么用那些器械。

B：如果你需要的话我可以给你一些指导。

A：酷，我真不知道从哪儿开始。

A：我想拥有像你那样明显的肌肉线条。

B：那你得有力量训练和有氧训练一起做。

A：如果训练中拉伤肌肉怎么办？

【讲解部分】

1. Dude, I want to lose weight and get in shape. 兄弟，我想减脂并保持身材。

(1)weight是指体重，重量

e.g. 你体重有多少？你可以说What’s your weight?但是别随便问女孩儿的体重。

lose weight是减肥减脂，反义词，长胖：putting on weight / gain weight

如果听到女朋友说这句话，记得跟她说'No, honey, you are not. You need to gain some weight, you are too slim'不过千万别说You got fat. You are fat, fat 是个贬义词。

(2)get in shape保持身材= stay in shape，

身材走样out of shape / lose shape.

2. I would like to, but I have no clue about how to use the equipment.

(1)I’d like to, but （我想做什么，但）

注意它的发音，I’d 是I would 的缩读。

I’d like to这个句型非常实用，当你想礼貌的拒绝别人邀请的时候可以用。

e.g. Would you like to the party tonight ?  well, I would like to , but…

(2)I have no clue = I have no idea/ I haven’t a clue。

3. Then let’s make a work out plan depending on your goals.

make a work out plan 做锻炼计划

work out 另一个常见的意思 “进行”

e.g. Things just didn't work out as planned.  事情根本没有按计划进行。

4. I just want to be ripped like you!

ripped 形容词，表达有明显的肌肉线条。 

跟rip 相关的另一个常见俚语是 rip somebody off,  

e.g. What a rip off. 真是太坑人了。

5. Sure, then you have to lift weights and do cardio together.

(1)weights指的是力量训练，完整说法weights training，多指杠铃、哑铃、壶铃等进行的力量训练。

(2)cardio,有氧运动, 指的是像跑步，游泳等进行的训练。

6. What if I pull a muscle during the work out?

pull muscles 拉伤肌肉

pull 是拉，反义词push 推, 这两个单词经常出现在门把手旁边。
