我也是。但是，与你不同的是，每天下班，我都早已累得精疲力竭，除了好好休息一会，什么都不想做．小然，我浑身上F都不舒服。

没有．去那些地方太花钱了．自己锻炼也是可以保持健康的．其实，有许多时候，我们是可以抽空活动活动筋骨的，比如，去洗手间时，可以趁机伸展四肢，扭扭脖子，原地跳上几分钟。顿时，你又会精神焕发的．很有用.

S: you are an early bird , Tom. What do you do in the morning then?
汤姆,你通常起得很早.那么早起都做些什么呢?
T: exercise. The morning hours are the most precious period within a single day. We should not pass them up easily. Seize the time and do something useful.
锻炼.早晨是一天当中最美好的时光.我们不该轻易放过他.要充分利用时间,做点有用的事情.
S: so, you choose to spend it on bodybuilding. Where do you exercise?
所以,你把时间花在晨练上了.那你都在哪儿锻炼呢?
T: usually, I run to the Black Bamboo Park as a warm-up . Admission is free. Then I start my activites.
通常我跑步去紫竹院,正好热热身.那里不用买门票.然后才开始我的活动.
S: do you do the same exercises every day?
那每天都做同样的运动吗?
T: no, I've deliberately kept a balance between various exercises: parallel bars, push-ups, sit-ups, bunny-hops, five-kilometer run, and so on. I alternate them over the weekdays. Sometimes, when I find myself in a bad state, I will simply idle about in the park.
不是的.我有意在多项运动之间保持平衡:双杠,俯卧撑,仰卧起坐,兔子跳,五千米跑…一周之内轮流做.有时候,如果发现自己不怎么舒服,就只在公园里闲逛.
S: why don't you just stay in bed when you feel unfit for exercising?
不舒服的时候,为什么不干脆多睡会?
T: It's not easy to keep a good habit, you know. I fear that if I fail to get up early one day, I may find it still more difficult to rise early the next. Besides, a mere walk in the early morning is much fun, too. Here and there in the park, you meet whole gangs of senior citizens who might be singing operas or old songs, playing er'hu, chess, or just chatting and gossiping. It's interesting to join them.
你知道,保持一种习惯不容易.我担心的是,哪天我要没能早起,第二天早上恐怕就更难早起了.再说,清晨走一走也是乐趣多多.在公园里四处走走,总能碰上一群老年人,在唱戏或者其他老歌,拉二胡,下棋,或者只是闲聊.跟他们在一起也挺有意思.
S: oh, yes. Singing is also a good way of keeping fit, at least mentally.
是的.唱歌也是保持健康的好法子,哪怕只是精神上的.
