Jane: Well, what's this about? I've received more than twenty useless fliers.
Shirley: Yes, that's really annoying. But this one is about bodybuilding.
Jane: Bodybuilding? Let me have a look!I do need such kind of thing. I start to look a little plump.
(Jane has a close look at the flier.)
Shirley: So, what do they say? Is there something special?
Jane: Yeah, it says they have a health club, a health farm and a health spa.
Shirley: And what sort of courses do they offer?
Jane: Let me see, oh, they have aerobics, yoga, hip-top, Taekwondo and things like that.
Shirley: Sounds nice! Aerobics is my favorite activity. It's effective to deal with this waistline. Don't you think my waistline is getting smaller?
Jane: Yes, I've noticed that. You know, my waistline has been a big problem since my son was born. I've tried a number of things, but they've all turned out to be useless. It's really irritating.
Shirley: Yeah, what does it say about personal trainers? We may want to look into that, because some of them are irresponsible and unskillful.
Jane: That's right. The flier says all the aerobics trainers there graduate from International Personal Trainer Institute.
Shirley: Oh, It's relief to hear that. And another thing, can you hold on to it from beginning to the end?
Jane: I see that could be a real problem for me. Do you have any suggestions?
Shirley: Once you made up your mind, don't give yourself any excuse for quitting. But I still wanna say before making any decision, you have to think it over.
Jane: That's definitely right. But beauty never comes cheap. I believe I will overcome it.
Shirley: Yes, nothing is impossible to a willing heart. I know you can do it.

简:呃,这是关于什么的?我已经收到了20多张没有用的宣传页了。
雪莉:对呀,这确实很烦人。但是,这是关于健身的。
简:健身?让我看看!我正需要类似的活动。我看起来有点发福了。
(简仔细地看着宣传页。)
雪莉:上面怎么说?有比较特别的东西吗?
简:上面说他们有健身房,健身村和健身温泉疗养地。
雪莉:他们有什么样的课程呀?
简:让我看看,噢,他们有健美操、瑜伽、街舞、跆拳道等类似的运动。
雪莉:听起来不错,健美操是我最喜欢的运动。这对腰部的瘦身十分有效。你不认为我的腰围变得越来越小了吗?
简:嗯,我注意到了。你知道吗?自从我生完小孩后,腰围一直是个问题。我试了各种方法,但是结果都没有用。都快烦死我了。
雪莉:也是,上面说到私人教练了吗?我们必须了解清楚,因为现在很多教练不负责,而且也不专业。
简:是这样的。这上面说所有的健美操教练都是国际私人教练学院毕业的。
雪莉:那就放心了。另外还有一件事,你能够坚持吗?
简:我知道,那对于我来说确实是个问题。你有什么建议吗?
雪莉:一旦你做了决定后,不要给自己任何退出的理由。但是我仍然想说的是,在你做决定之前一定要好好想清楚。
简:那确实是这样。但是美丽是要付出代价的。我相信我能够克服的。
雪莉:是的,有志者事竟成。我相信我能够做到。
