Unexpected Gym Buddies: A Tentative First Encounter
Kevin: (Approaches the water cooler, nodding politely) Evening.
Kevin：（走近飲水機，禮貌地點頭）晚上好。
Mark: Hi there! Phew, that treadmill really got me. I'm Mark, by the way. New here.Mark：嗨！唷，那跑步機真把我累壞了。我是Mark。我是新來的。
Kevin: (Slightly surprised by Mark's friendliness) Oh, hi. I'm Kevin.
Kevin：（對Mark的友善有點驚訝）哦，你好。我是Kevin。
Mark: Nice to meet you, Kevin! Man, I didn't realize how out of shape I was. Ten minutes on that thing and I'm ready to call it a day. How long have you been coming here?
Mark：很高興認識你，Kevin！天啊，我沒想到我的體能這麼差。在那東西上跑了十分鐘，我就想宣告今天結束了。你來這裡多久了？
Kevin: (Warming up a bit) About a year now.
Kevin：（稍微熱絡起來）大約一年了。
Mark: A whole year! Wow, you must be a pro by now. Any tips for a newbie like me? I'm trying to shed some pounds, but I feel so lost.
Mark：整整一年！哇，你現在一定是個專家了。對於像我這樣的新手有什麼建議嗎？我在嘗試減肥，但感覺很迷茫。
Kevin: (Cautiously) Well, everyone starts somewhere. Maybe try different machines?
Kevin：（謹慎地）嗯，每個人都有起點。也許可以試試不同的器材？
Mark: That's a great idea! I've been eyeing that cycling machine. Looks less intimidating than this treadmill. Say, do you work with any of the trainers here?
Mark：那是個好主意！我一直在看那台腳踏車。看起來沒有跑步機那麼嚇人。對了，你有和這裡的教練一起訓練嗎？
Kevin: (Nodding) Yes, just finished a session actually.
Kevin：（點頭）是的，事實上剛剛結束一節課。
Mark: Oh cool! Was thinking about signing up for some sessions myself. Worth it? I mean, I know it's pricey, but if it helps...
Mark：哦，太棒了！我也在考慮報名上課。值得嗎？我是說，我知道很貴，但如果有幫助的話...
Kevin: (Offering a bit more) It helped me get started. But there are also good videos online if you're on a budget.
Kevin：（提供多一點信息）它幫助我入門。但如果預算有限，網上也有一些不錯的視頻。
Mark: Online videos, huh? Never thought of that. Thanks, Kevin! You know, it's great to chat with someone here. Makes this place feel less daunting. Maybe I'll see you around?
Mark：網上視頻，是嗎？我從沒想到。謝謝你，Kevin！你知道嗎，在這裡和人聊天真好。讓這個地方感覺沒那麼可怕了。也許我們會再見面？
Kevin: (With a small smile) Maybe. Good luck with your workouts.
Kevin：（露出微笑）也許吧。祝你鍛鍊順利。
Mark: Thanks! You too.
Mark：謝謝！你也是。
