Was at the gym and heard some classic lines. I always try to focus on my workout, but it’s hard not to hear what people say next to you. Lots of people speaking English nowadays.
其實我還蠻專注於運動，只是當對方在你旁邊說話時，很難忽略他們的聲音…也蠻多同學用英文的。
Here are some lines I heard this week:
以下是我這個禮拜聽到的一些台詞：
★★★★★★★★★★★★
最佳婉拒
A: Try the 50 lb dumbbell. Just do fewer reps.*
B: No. Any heavier and my arm will fall off and disappear.
Ａ：試試看50磅的啞鈴。少做幾次就好。
Ｂ：不。再重的話，我手臂會掉下來然後消失。
*reps = repetitions 的縮寫，代表次數，也就是你每一個動作做了幾下、幾次。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
最經典的搭訕開場白
A: This is a picture of my cat/dog/bird/iguana.
B: Aww, it’s so cute!
Ａ：這是我貓／狗／鳥／鬣蜥的照片。
Ｂ：哇，真的好可愛喔!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
最不想聽到的回應
A: You using that, bro?
B: Yeah, I’m rotating between these four machines. Just a few more sets <sits and uses cell phone>.
Ａ：你用那個嗎，兄弟？
Ｂ：是啊，我輪流使用這四種器材。在做幾組就好了(接下來坐著滑手機)。
a set = 一組; 在一組(set)可以做幾次(reps)?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
客戶與教練的對話
A: I’ve lived in this area for 40 years. I grew up here. In the past there was nothing here but fields of grass.
B: Oh, I see… <awkward silence>
Ａ：我在這區住了４０年。我在這裡長大。以前這裡除了草，什麼都沒有。
Ｂ：是哦⋯⋯（尷尬的沉默）
★★★★★★★★★★★★
剛剛才聽到的…
A: That guy is so buff.
B: But he is too busy lifting to come flirt with me <haha>.
Ａ：那個男的有夠壯。
Ｂ：但他忙著舉重都沒時間過來跟我搭訕 (調情)（哈哈哈）。
buff 壯碩
flirt 調情，打情罵俏
hit on 搭訕
pick-up lines 搭訕台詞
…不錯，我也覺得那個男的練得超壯。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
Will share more next time…or maybe I’ll just wear earphones.
之後還會跟大家分享更多的經典台詞，或者下次可能選擇戴耳機。
