Todd: OK, Tim, we're going to talk about running.
好的,蒂姆,我们将讨论讨论跑步。Tim: OK.
好的。Todd: Now, we've been running the last couple of nights.
我们前几天晚上一直一起跑步。
Tim: Yeah, that's true.
是的。Todd: And, uh, your much faster than me. You're a fast runner. How often do you run?
你跑得比我快多了。你跑得很快。你多久跑一次步?Tim: Well now I only run about four days a week. But, when I was younger everyday.
现在我每周跑四次。我更年轻的时候每天都跑。Todd: Oh, really. Wow! Did you run in high school or college?
哦,真的。哇!你在高中或大学就开始跑步吗?Tim: I ran, I started when I was six years old.
是的,我从6岁开始跑步。Todd: No kidding!
你没开玩笑吧!Tim: And I started running and I ran all through the university.
没错,我经常跑步穿过大学校园。Todd: Really!
真的!Tim: Yeah!
是的!Todd: OK. So what events did you do?
好的。你跑过什么项目?Tim: Middle distance, middle distance which is 1,500 meters to 5,000 meters.
中等距离,1,5000到5000米。Todd: Wow! Are you a better short distance runner or long distance runner?
哇!你短跑更好,还是长跑更好?Tim: Middle distance runner.
我擅长中等距离的跑步。Todd: Middle distance. OK, how far is a middle distance?
中等距离。好的,中等距离有多长?Tim: Oh, 1,500 meters, about.
大概1,500米。Todd: 1,500.
1,500米。Tim: Yeah.

3分47秒。Tim: Yeah!
是的!Todd: That's pretty fast.
那真是很快了。Tim: Yeah. I did that in high school actually. I wasn't so fast in the university.
是的。那是我在高中时候的成绩。我到了大学成绩就没那么好了。Todd: Oh, wow, man you can fly? No I don't feel so bad when you run so much faster than me.
哦,哇,你成飞人了?那我不会沮丧你比我跑得快了。Tim: I've been slowing down. I've been drinking beer so I don't run so fast anymore.
我现在跑得慢了。自从我喝了啤酒就再也跑得不快了。Todd: Yeah, we're getting older. Actually, um, I'm 33. How old are you?
是的,我们都变老了。事实上,我有33岁。你多大?Tim: I'm 27.
我27岁。Todd: 27. Oh, OK. So, do you think you'll be running your whole life?
27岁。哦,好的。你认为你会一辈子都坚持跑步吗?Tim: I think so, yeah. I grew up in the woods, everyday in the woods, so I really want to get back to running in the woods. I think it is really healthy to do.
我想是的。我在林间长大,每天都泡在树林里,所以我很想回到森林中继续跑。我想那样很健康。Todd: Yeah. That's nice. OK. Thanks a lot, Tim.
这很好。好的,谢谢你蒂姆。注:译文属原创,未经允许,请勿转载。
