ACT 3-1 “我早料到了!”

【故事梗概】

Marilyn为采办晚饭的原料而发愁时，Richard于心不忍，向Marilyn坦白了自己并没有在高级健身班的课程上运动。Marilyn要求Richard和她一起再去一次，并通过这次的结果来决定到底由谁来为全家人做晚饭。

Marilyn: Grandpa, Ellen, Philip, Robbie, you and me. That's six steaks.

Richard: Don't forget Susan.

Marilyn: Seven steaks. Cooking dinner for the entire family is not so easy. The shopping: the salad: tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and onions. The main course: steak and potatoes. Richard, how much broccoli do I need for seven people?

Richard: Marilyn, I have to tell you something. At today's exercise class…

Marilyn: Yes, Richard.

Richard: Well, I didn't really exercise.

Marilyn: I knew it!

Richard: I wanted to, but Jack Davis needed a photographer. I'm sorry, Marilyn.

Marilyn: I don't understand. Did you exercise or not?

Richard: No. Instead of exercising, I photographed the class.

Marilyn: And you didn't exercise?

Richard: No.

Marilyn: There's another advanced class today at four o'clock. We'll go together.

Richard: What about the bet?

Marilyn: Oh, the bet is still on, but you shop for the groceries. Remember, you win, and I cook dinner for the entire family.

Richard: You win, and I cook dinner for the entire family.

Marilyn: Including Susan. Four o'clock at the advanced exercise class. With me.

【语言点精讲】

1. How much broccoli do I need for seven people?

7个人吃饭得买多少花椰菜？

how much后面跟不可数名词，如broccoli, lettuce。how many后面则跟可数名词，如tomatoes, onions。

2. Marilyn, I have to tell you something.

玛丽琳，有件事我得告诉你。

在向人承认自己隐瞒的事时可以用这句话来开头。谈一件不幸或不愉快的事时也可以用它来开头。

3. I knew it!

我早料到了！

Richard终于说出实话，Marilyn便埋怨丈夫一句。I knew it之所以用过去时，是因为意思是“我早知道”，“我本来（当时）就知道了”。

4. Instead of exercising, I photographed the class.

我没参加锻练，而是给他们班拍照来着。

instead of…表示“而不是……”，“没有……，而是”。后面跟名词、代词宾格或动名词。of后面的是没有做的事，主句里的动词是做了的事。

5. Oh, the bet is still on.

嗨，这个赌还得接着打呀。此处on是副词，表示某件事或者某种状况仍在延续。又如:

Don't worry about grammar, so long as the communication is still on. （只要交际活动能够有效进行，就不必为语法伤脑筋。）

The battle is still on. （战斗还在进行。）

ACT 3-2 “这是你生平第一回上健身操课吗？”

【故事梗概】

Marilyn和Richard一同去了高级健身课程。1个小时的课程让Richard精疲力尽，他承认了高级班的课程确实强度很大。Marilyn心疼他，主动提出帮他做晚饭。

Jack: Don't forget to breathe.

Instructor: Skip, hop, front. Twist…again…OK, now…scissors.

Richard: This is fun. It's a piece of cake.

Marilyn: Yeah. Just wait.

Instructor: 5, 6, 7, go right, 1, 2, back, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, pony, pony… 1, 2, 3, kick…1, 2, 3, kick…pony. And twist, twist.

Jack: OK. Let's pick up the pace.

Marilyn: How are you doing, Richard?

Richard: I can barely move.

Instructor: 2, 3, 4, front. Now we're going to run it off. Front… knees up, knees up.

Jack: OK. Finish off by jogging in place. OK. Keep those knees up. All right. That's it for today. Thank you, everyone. See you next week.

Richard: Thank you, Jack, but no thank you.

Marilyn: The advanced exercise class is not so easy, huh?

Richard: No, no, you were right. I was wrong.

Marilyn: Come on, Richard. Get up. Let's go. You have to cook dinner for the entire family.

Richard: Marilyn, I'm exhausted. I can't move.

Marilyn: Oh, you'll do it. It's a piece of cake.

Jack: Excuse me, Richard, Marilyn.

Richard: You are a terrific instructor, Jack.

Jack: Thanks. But I have a question. Is this your very first advanced aerobics class?

Richard: Yes. It is.

Jack: You are in great shape, Richard. Very few people last in this class for the full hour the very first time.

Marilyn: It's true. You are in great shape.

Richard: Thanks!

Marilyn: I think we'll cook dinner together.

【语言点精讲】

1. Don't forget to breathe.

别忘记（调整）呼吸。

本情景中出现了许多用于表述健身操的动作的短语，让我们来一起看一下：

exercising to music: 随着音乐做操，在音乐的伴奏下跳健身操。

skip, hop, front: 跳，蹦，向前。

twist: 扭腰。

scissors: 剪刀步。

go right: 向右。

back: 后退。

pony: 原义是“小马驹”，此处指“像小马一样跳跃，垫步”。

kick: 踢腿。

pick up the pace: 加快速度。pick up在这里的意思是“加速”。

Now we're going to run it off.: 好，我们加快跑动。

knees up: 膝盖抬高。

jogging in place: 原地慢跑。

2. That's it for today.

今天就到这儿。

3. No, no, you were right.

是，是，你说的对。这里的No, no指not so easy, 而不是用来否定Marilyn说的话。汉英之间这种表达习惯上的差异，请多加留心。

4. Is this your very first advanced aerobics class?

这是你生平第一回上健身操课吗？

very: 与最高级形容词或first，last等连用时也表示强调，意思是“就是…，确实是…”，或“绝对的，最最……的”。
