ACT 1-1 “没问题，小事一桩。”
【故事梗概】
星期五傍晚，从有氧运动高级班回来的Marilyn一进屋就一屁股坐在地板上。她累坏了。她告诉Richard高级班的运动强度很大，但是Richard认为如果换作他，这种程度的锻炼完全是小菜一碟。
Marilyn: I am exhausted. My new exercise class is so hard.
Richard: Your new exercise class?
Marilyn: Yeah. My new advanced exercise class.
Richard: Why advanced?
Marilyn: My instructor thought that the beginner"s class was too easy for me.
Richard: Too easy for you?
Marilyn: Don"t laugh. In the beginner"s class, they give you a chance to rest between exercises.
Richard: So?
Marilyn: The advanced class is nonstop.
Richard: I lift weights every morning for sixty minutes without stopping. No problem.
Marilyn: Listen, Richard, doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than lifting weights.
Richard: Yeah. Quite a bit different. I think aerobics is easy. I could work out in your class with no problem.
Marilyn: You think so?
Richard: Oh, without a doubt. When"s the next class?
Marilyn: Tomorrow morning at ten o"clock. Try it.
Richard: Tomorrow morning after lifting weights, I"ll try aerobics. It"s a snap. Tomorrow morning at ten o"clock.
【语言点精讲】
1. My instructor thought that the beginner"s class was too easy for me.
我的教练认为初学班对我太容易了。
too+ 形容词或副词+ for sb.，表示对于某人来说是过于……了。
2. No problem.
"No problem."与后文出现的"It"s a snap. "都是“没问题，小事一桩”的意思，用来表示某事很容易，做起来毫无问题。
3. Doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than lifting weights.
连续做1小时有氧运动可跟练哑铃大不一样。
different than: 跟...不一样。这里用 different from更规范，但很多美国人跟Marilyn一样，在different之后使用than，这已经成为了一种约定熟成的用法。
aerobics: (通过散步、跑步、游泳、划船、骑车、舞蹈、体操等有节奏运动等增强心肺循环功能的)有氧运动，健身操。也可以说aerobic exercise.
lift weights: 举重。在这里指练哑铃。
4. I could work out in your class with no problem.
要我到你们班上去锻炼锻炼，绝不会有困难。Richard说这话的意思是，假如有机会一试的话，即可证明我的能力。
I could...: 我可以……，我能……
work out: 这里的意思是锻炼，尤指健身、健美训练。
5. You think so?
你真的这样认为吗？当对别人的意见不能确定或赞同时，可以使用这句话。
6. Oh, without a doubt.
without a doubt: 相当于"sure; of course. "（当然，毫无问题。）这是用非常肯定的口气来强调自己的话。
ACT 1-2 “你敢打赌吗？”
【故事梗概】
星期六早上，Richard在练哑铃时，Marilyn提起了前一天他讲过的要在练哑铃之后再去参加有氧健身运动的高级班课程的事。Richard坚称那些运动量对他来说只是小意思。Richard 和Marilyn就此打了个赌。
Marilyn: Aren"t you going to the aerobics class this morning?
Richard: Of course. Easy. No sweat.
Marilyn: You are not going to be able to move after this and the aerobics class.
Richard: Are you kidding me? It"s going to be a piece of cake.
Richard: You want to bet?
Marilyn: Yeah. What"s the bet ?
Richard: I bet I can go one hour in your class this morning and not feel a thing!
Marilyn: The bet is - I win, and you cook dinner for the entire family. Or you win, and I cook dinner for the entire family.
Richard: It"s a bet.
Marilyn: OK. Call my instructor, Jack Davis, right now . His number is 555-8842. The advanced class starts at ten o"clock.
Richard: Well, it"s eight twenty now.
Marilyn: It only takes eight minutes by bicycle to the aerobics class. Give him a call.
【语言点精讲】
1. No sweat.
不成问题，一点儿不费劲。
2. Are you kidding me?
你在开玩笑吧？也可以说You must be kidding!
3. It"s going to be a piece of cake.
a plece of cake: 形容某事很easy，做起来不费吹灰之力。
4. You want to bet?
你敢打赌吗？是"Do you want to bet?"的缩略形式。口语中，"Do you..."这种句型不说Do的情形很普遍。
bet在这里用作动词，意思是“打赌，赌”。
注意Richard在说 want to时，把发音连成 wanna，这是非正式场合口语中常用的发音。
5. Yeah, What"s the bet?
赌就赌，你说赌什么吧？这里的bet用作名词，意思是“赌注”。
6. I bet I can go one hour in your class this morning and not feel a thing!
我赌我能在你们班上锻炼1个小时并且一点也不感觉累！
I can go...: 此处 go指“锻炼”。注意发音: can读做k+n，当 can后面跟动词时，我们常不必重读它，这句正是如此。
not feel a thing是“毫不感到累（难）”的意思。
7. Well, it"s eight twenty now.
这里的 Well表示说话人的犹豫。Richard推说现在已是8点20分了，是想好歹赖过这一次。
8. It only takes eight minutes by bicycle to the aerobics class.
Marilyn不依不饶，对Richard说“骑车到健身中心只需8分钟。”
It takes + 时间+ to do something: 表示干某事需要多少时间。
ACT 1-3 “你自己别忘了我们打过的赌。”
