2. “Exercise is too difficult and painful.”
Consider “no pain， no gain” the old fashioned way ofthinking about exercise. Exercise doesn't have to hurt to beincredibly effective. You don't have to push yourself to thelimit to get results. You can build your strength and fitness bywalking， swimming， even playing golf or cleaning the house.
“锻炼太累太辛苦了！”
俗话说“没有付出就没有回报。”，这句话同样适用于运动。运动不一定要高难度才有效，更不必去攻克自己的身体极限。散步，游泳，甚至打高尔夫或打扫房间都可以达到锻炼的目的。
3. “I'm too tired to exercise.”
If you're feeling tired， try taking a brisk walk or dancingto your favorite music and see how much better you feelafterwards.
“太累没工夫锻炼！”
如果太累，来个轻松漫步或跟随音乐跳舞，你的感觉都会好点。
4.“I'm too old to start exercising，” “Im too fat，” or“My health isn't good enough.”
It's never too late to start building your strength andphysical fitness， even if you're a senior or a self-confessedcouch potato who has never exercised before. And exerciseis a proven treatment for many diseases-from diabetes toarthritis. Very few health or weight problems make exercise outof the question， so talk to your doctor about a safe routine foryou.
“我老了不好参加运动。”“我太胖了动不了。”“我不舒服。”
锻炼从不晚，无论是从未参加过锻炼的老年人，还是电视迷。运动是许多疾病，如糖尿病和关节炎等疾病的预防措施。从未有因健康问题或体重问题而不能参加锻炼的，你可咨询医生制定一个安全的方案。
5. “Exercise is boring.”
Sure， pounding on a treadmill for an hour may not beeveryone's idea of a good time. But not all exercise has to beboring. Everyone can find a physical activity they enjoy. Tryplaying ping-pong (table tennis) or football with your friends.
“运动太无聊了。”
没错，在跑步机上跑一个钟头绝不好玩。但是不是所有的运动都无聊。每一个人都能从锻炼中找到乐趣的。试试与朋友打乒乓球或者踢足球。

经典二
Tina： I will be broke in two months. I need to find a job. If I don't， I won'tbe able to stay here next semester.
Harry： Have you tried university part-time jobs
Tina： What do you mean
Harry： I mean in the library， or in some information center. The universityusually hires foreign students for part-time positions.
Tina： I tried that. They don't have anything now. So what can I do？
Harry： Well， since you're a foreign student， it's hard. That's because it'sactually illegal for you to work in America.
Tina： I know that. And I know I have the right to work for the university.
That's legal. But they don't have a job for me. And it's illegal for me toget a job elsewhere.
Harry： Anyway， there must be some solution. You know there are manypeople working illegally in New York.
Tina： But I need a pretty decent job. I need to make enough money to paymy rent at least.
Harry： I have an idea.
Tina： What？
Harry： Since you're Chinese， maybe you can find part-time work in Chinatown.
Tina： Good idea. I will try.

哈里：你试过大学的兼职工作吗
蒂娜：你的意思是
哈里： 我的意思是图书馆或者一些资讯中心。通常大学都会雇用外国的学生来做兼职的工作。
蒂娜：我试过。他们现在没有任何工作。所以，我该怎么办呢
哈里：嗯，你身为一个外国学生，是蛮难的。那是因为你在美国工作是非法的。
蒂娜：我知道。我知道我有权利在大学里工作，那是合法的。但是他们没有工作给我。对我来说在别的地方工作又是非法的。

哈里：我有一个主意。
蒂娜：是什么
哈里：你身为一个中国人，或许你可以在中国城找到一个兼职工作。
