And today, I think we're hitting the gym, Marco.

Marco，我想我們今天要來去健身房了。

We've gained weight over the winter, I think.

我想我們冬天的時候好像胖了不少。

so. And being in an office, you know, it doesn't give you much opportunity to go and exercise and really get a lot of work planned during the day.

而且你知道的，待在辦公室沒什麼機會讓我們去運動，或是安排很多時間來鍛鍊。

So that's why we're going to the gym on this occasion.

所以這就是為什麼我們這次要去健身房。

So why don't we take a look at vocabulary preview and see what this means?

所以我們來看看詞彙預覽，看看這是什麼意思，好嗎？

Well, to pumping iron means lifting weights.

Because, you know, weights are made of iron.

因為你知道，這些槓鈴是鐵做的。

And, well, we're going to be giving you guys some pointers.

而且，嗯，我們會給你一些提示。

So you might have heard the word point before.

嗯，pointers 就是 tips 的另一個說法。

So we're going to be giving you tips or advice.

所以我們會給你一些 tips 或 advice。

So you're going to get some help today from the trainer.

所以你今天會從教練那裡得到一些幫助。

So we're going to jump right into this dialogue,

所以我們要直接進入這個對話，

and we come back, we'll be talking more about what's going on.

等我們回來，我們會多聊聊發生了什麼事。

I can give you a few pointers if you want.

如果你願意，我可以給你一些提示。

Were you trying to use this machine here?

I just started my training today, and I'm not sure where to begin.

我今天才剛開始訓練，不太確定從哪裡開始。

This machine here will work out your upper body, mainly your triceps and biceps.

這臺機器主要會鍛鍊你的上半身，特別是三頭肌和二頭肌。

Are you looking to develop strength or muscle tone and definition?

你是想增強肌力，還是想要肌肉線條和結實感？

Well, I don't want to be ripped like you.

嗯，我不想練成像你這樣肌肉線條明顯。

I just want a good physique with weights and cardio.

我只想透過舉重和有氧運動，讓身材看起來好一點。

In that case, you want to work with less weight.

那樣的話，你要用比較輕的重量。

You can start off by working 10 to 15 reps in four sets.

你可以先從每組做 10 到 15 下，做四組開始。

Now, it's very important that you stretch before pumping iron.

現在，在舉重之前，伸展非常重要。

I think he was very, you know, very muscular,

but I think he embarrassed himself in front of the lady.

但我認為他在那位女士面前丟臉了。

So let's check out some of these phrases and words that they were using, because they're, they're all related to going to the gym,

那我們來看看他們用的這些詞彙和片語，因為這些都跟去健身房有關，

and they can help you if you ever want to get some help when you're at the gym.

如果你以後去健身房想找人幫忙的話，這些都會很有幫助。

所以這個女生，她是健身房的新手。

She didn't really know what she was doing.

她其實不太知道自己在做什麼。

And, well, the guy said, "Well, do you want to develop strength or muscle tone?" All right.

然後，嗯，那個男生說：「嗯，你想發展肌力還是肌肉線條？」好。

We know what strength is, but what is muscle tone?

我們知道什麼是肌力，那什麼是肌肉線條呢？

So if you want to develop muscle tone or to have muscle tone, it means that you have healthy muscles, not like huge, big muscles, right?

所以如果你想發展肌肉線條，或是擁有肌肉線條，意思就是說你的肌肉是健康的，不是那種巨大、大塊的肌肉，對吧？

So tone, to tone is to maybe give some shape to something.

所以線條，要練出線條，就是可能給東西一些形狀。

It's, you know, sometimes you have big arms and they're not really you can't see the muscles.

就是，你知道，有時候你的手臂很大，但你其實看不到肌肉。

Well, muscle tone means that you can start to see the shape and they start to get stronger.

嗯，肌肉線條的意思是你可以開始看到形狀，而且它們開始變得更強壯。

So if you think of Madonna, maybe five years ago, she had a lot of muscle tone.

所以如果你想到 Madonna，大概五年前，她有很多肌肉線條。

現在她變成「肌肉很大」。對。

But muscle tone means that you can see the muscles.

但肌肉線條的意思是你可以看到肌肉。

And this actually is very related to our next word, because you said muscle tone and definition.

這其實跟我們下一個單字很有關係，因為你說了肌肉線條和輪廓。

So definition is another way for us to describe seeing those muscles, because at first you have a big tummy or you have big arms.

所以輪廓是另一種描述我們看到肌肉的方式，因為一開始你可能肚子很大，或是手臂很大。

And when you start to work out, every time you go, you can see more and more definition.

然後當你開始鍛鍊，每次去，你都會看到越來越明顯的輪廓。

That means more and more of the muscle becomes visible.
