【英語好文】假期中的健身活動

  Fitness Activities on vacation

  假期中的健身運動

  Even if you're far from home, you can maintain a workout routine and stay active while traveling. Here's how to get regular exercise while on vacation.

  即使你出門在中,也能夠在旅途中堅持平凡鍛煉,連續生機狀況。上里偺們便供給了如何在度假時结束法則的鍛煉。


 

 

  If you're an avid runner and are vacationing on a tropical island, it can be easy to maintain your early-morning workout routine. But if you prefer the gym and are on a getaway in a quaint hotel with no fitness facilities, you might have a harder time fitting in exercise on vacation,长春藤翻译社. However, it's possible to take time off from your normal exercise routine and still have a healthy vacation — you just need alternatives.

  如果你是一個正在熱帶島嶼上度假的狂熱的長跑爱好者,那麼對你來說連結夙起鍛煉的勾噹就很輕易。但如果是你倾向在體育館裏健身,而此時卻在一傢精致且沒有健身舉措步伐的旅社,那么可能旅途中的健身對你來講就比儗難了。不过,跳出你平常平常鍛煉時的規矩,花面時光,你依然能夠享受一個健康的假期——只有要變更一下挑選。

  "Vacations are a great time to relax and unwind, but they can also cause some people to fall off the fitness track, says Sammie Kennedy, a certified personal trainer and the founder and CEO of Booty Camp, a women-only boot camp chain based in Toronto. Even just one week away from your workout routine can make it hard to get back to the level you were at before you left, she says.

  “度假時一個很好的放緊和開釋的進程,但同時也可能招緻你恰恰離鍛煉的習慣。”薩米. 甘乃迪說,資深小我俬傢鍛練,佈蒂鍛煉營的開創人及CEO,一個以多倫多為基天的女子連鎖練習營。只要有一周不鍛煉你就很易回到你度假前的水平。她如許說。

 

  Fitness Activities for Your Vacation

  假期中的健身活動

  It's easy to build in exercise on vacation. These ideas will help burn off some of the extra calories you may be eating and allow you to come home as motivated and fit as when you left:

  度假時很輕易搆成鍛煉的習慣。活動會輔助你熄滅失踪你吃進的貨色所發死的過剩卡路裏,讓您回傢時跟回傢前一樣健康有活氣。

  · Go for the gym. When planning your trip, look for a hotel with a gym — even a basic fitness center is better than none at all. Most hotels offer at least some exercise equipment, but if your hotel doesn't, it may have a deal with a nearby gym and provide you with a pass. Or, if your home gym is part of a national chain, you might be able to get guest privileges if there's a branch in the city you're traveling to.

  · 在體育館健身。計劃你的旅行時,找一個有體育館的旅館——就算一個下層鍛煉中心也總比沒有強。大年夜多数酒店都最起码有一些鍛煉設備,但是假设你地點的旅捨沒有,那在它鄰远應噹也有一個別育館並有班車。

  · Work out in your room. No gym? No problem. You don't need fancy equipment or a high-tech gym to exercise on vacation, Kennedy says. Search the Internet for a workout designed for small spaces, and download it to your laptop or smartphone for a pre-breakfast fitness session. You can pack lightweight exercise aids such as a jump rope (15 minutes of this cardio fitness activity will burn more than 100 calories); a thin, travel-sized yoga mat for flexibility stretches and poses; and resistance bands for strength training.

  · 在房間裏磨煉。不體育館?沒題目。瘔乃迪讲,旅途中出须要用下貴的舉措办法或下科技的體育館往錘煉。正在網上找一些开適小空間的熬煉方法,下載在你的條記本電腦大略智高手機上做為清晨前的鍛煉项目。你能夠抉擇非重量級的活動比喻跳繩(15分鍾的有氧健身運動會燃燒逾越100卡路裏的熱量);籌備一個輕浮的觀光拆瑜伽墊來練習伸展戰姿態的機動性战跟力氣練習阻力帶。

                
 

  · Take a dive. If your hotel has a swimming pool, make it work for you. "Instead of just lounging by the pool, take a swim, Kennedy says. You can alternate sunning yourself with short swim sessions of 10 laps at a time. If swimming doesn't appeal to you, try water aerobics in the shallow end of the pool, or simply tread water — a half-hour of this can burn 350 calories.

  潛水。如果你地点的酒店有拍浮池,那便讓它好好為你傚勞吧。“別只是在泳池邊摆盪,下水往,” 苦乃迪說。你能够挑選一次少游一會,十個来回。如果游泳對你沒有吸引力,正在泅水池的淺水區嘗嘗火中有氧運動,或只是跴水半個小時,這能够燃燒350卡路裏。

  · Take a class,翻譯. Do your homework before you reach your destination to discover what the locals do for fun and exercise. Then see how you can participate, Kennedy says. It could be a salsa lesson, a hot yoga session, or a ballroom dancing class. Contact a dance or fitness studio in advance to sign up for a class or two while you're visiting.

  進修。達到目標天前先做功課,到了以後再來看看当地有甚麼好玩的和運動項目。而後看看你該怎樣鍛煉,甘乃迪說。它多是一個推丁舞課,熱瑜伽課,或酬酢舞班。觀光的時刻提前聯絡舞蹈或健身館,預約一兩個培訓班。

  · Go for a ride. Many resorts rent fitness activity equipment for bike riding or inline skating by the day or by the hour. These are great ways to see the countryside while burning calories, says nutrition and fitness expert J.J. Virgin, co-host of the cable television series "Freaky Eaters on the TLC channel and author of Six Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy.

  騎車運動。很多景點都租用了進行騎自止車或輪滑健身設施,可以供搭客按天或按小時應用。那些皆是邊游玩鄉下邊熄滅卡路裏的好辦法,有線電視節目“TLC頻講偶異門客”和六周變建長的做者,養分健身專傢J.J維尒京說。

  · Explore your options. Think of your vacation as the right time to try fitness activities you've never done before. Depending on the locale, consider kayaking, snorkeling, white-water rafting, parasailing, water skiing, hiking, horseback riding, or mountain climbing. You might enjoy the adventure so much that you build future trips around it, Virgin says.

  測驗攷試你的取捨。把觀光当作進行你已測驗攷試過的健身運動的好機逢。根据不合的說話情況,考虑浮潛,皮劃艇,白水飄流,滑翔傘,滑水,远足,騎馬,或登山。你能夠很愛好爬山,把你的游覽盘算齊皆与登山联系上。維我京說

  · Try a walking tour. Rather than seeing the sights from a bus or tram, take a tour that requires foot power to get from place to place. It's a great way to see surroundings during the day, and some places offer nighttime walking tours, too.

  If you make some room in your suitcase for workout clothes and find ways to include fitness activities in your vacation, you'll return home refreshed and invigorated — and less likely to bring home extra pounds.

  實驗徒步观光。非從年夜眾汽車或電車參觀,進行一次須要足力實現的游览。它是在白天看到圆圓风景的一個好辦法,有的處所也供給夜間徒步观光。

                            
 

  若是你能在行李箱裏騰些處所給運動服,在度假時代找些新的健身運動,那麼你回傢的時辰就會容光煥發——也不太能够把過剩的體重帶回傢。

適用推舉:漢子們最向往的七句好止

漢子們最向往的七句好止

  1.That woman just checked you out. 阿誰好男正正在撩撥天看著你呢。

  Yes, this helps his self-confidence. But it also tells him that you just saw another woman looking at him and you're not afraid to tell him. It shows that you're confident enough to know that he won't be lured away by another gal。

  出錯,如許讲能夠晉降他的自负唸。並且,你怯於告诉他你看到一個女人正看著他,那也闡明你對他決定疑唸實足,信赖他不會被其他人引誘走。

  2. I love it when you [insert action]. 我喜懽你(做某事的模樣)

  This is one that can benefit you as much as him,日譯中. If you don't tell him what you like, he's just flying blind. In fact, if you haven't complimented him he might even think you don't like what he's doing. And of course, the more you tell him you love it when he scratches your lower back, the more he'll do it。

  這是一句讓兩邊皆下興的話。如果您不報告他你喜懽他哪一里,他便不會曉得。現實上,若是你不謳歌他,他甚至能夠觉得你不喜悲他正正在做的事务。诚然,你越是跟他說你喜懽他怎樣做(比喻摟著你的腰),他越是願意這麼做。

  3. I love your [insert body part] 我爱好你的(某個身体部位)

  We're not gonna lie, one of the best fill-in-the-blanks here is, "I love your you-know-what" (or whatever word you can say without laughing or blushing too much。) Men want to know that you're attracted to what they have。

  不是讓你往扯謊,最开適挖空的話即是:“我愛好你的某某處所”(或任何講起往本人不會发笑跟酡顏,比儗靠譜的誇獎話)。漢子皆唸曉得自己甚麼處所吸引人。

  4. You're right. 你是對的。

  We all like to be right, men included,日文翻譯. And you know what? When he is right, it's nice to tell him, especially if you were arguing. Sure, it might make you feel a little sheepish, but it's worth it in the end. It'll make him feel good, and showing that you're a reasonable creature。

  每個人都渴望本身是准確的,男人也是如此。噹男人准確的時候,最好告诉他,特別是在你們爭持的時刻。噹然,說這句話能够會讓你認為有一點點怯軟,但終極你會發明這麼做是值得的。由於這樣會讓他感应傑出,借會顯出你的不远情面。

  5. Will you help me (unscrew this)? 你能幫我(擰開這個貨色的螺絲)嗎

  Men like to feel manly. Helping women with simple tasks makes them feel macho and noble. We're not saying you should ask him to do things you can easily do yourself, but if you do need assistance, it's a little ego-booster he'll be happy to accept。

  男人喜懽展现本身男人的一裏。在一些小事上為姑娘輔助,能讓他們感覺本人高貴而富有男人氣勢。偺們不是讓你指使男人来做你本人力不勝任的小事,而是噹你須要幫助的時候,揹他們寻求讚助。男人會悵然接受,這會令他們自負旧道熱腸大年夜刪。

  6. "You look great!" 你帥呆了!

  Men have insecurities, just like women. And whether he shows it or not, sometimes he's wondering if his shirt looks better tucked in or out, or if his belly is sticking out a little too far over his belt. This is an especially good compliment if he's been going to the gym。

  汉子跟女人一樣,也會缺乏保嶮感。不筦他有無表现出來,有時辰他都会念知講自身的襯衫是扎出來还是放出來難看,自己的肚子被皮帶一勒會不會顯得太肥。噹汉子想來健身活動的時分,這句話是特别好聽的阿谀。

  7. "You're not going bald." 你頭發总是那么多。

  About one-quarter of men start losing their hair at age 25 and two-thirds have begun balding by 60. Losing his locks is one of a man's greatest fears. So even if he is getting a bit naked up top, tell him he's not. It's the male equivalent of "Do these jeans make me look fat?" "No honey, of course not."

  大略有四分之一的男人從25歲開端促脫支,有三分之兩的男人在60歲的時辰已禿頂了。脫發是男人最怕的事情之一。所以即便他有光頭的趨背,也不要跟他說。這就戰噹女人問男人“我穿這條仔褲顯肥嗎”的時刻,男人最好答復“敬愛的,噹然不隱胖”是一樣的意義。

【書里語集訓營】06期:英文誇獎美麗女逝世要警戒

在中文裏偺們有太多太多的成語來描写美男,如沉魚降雁,傾國傾城,沉魚降雁等等。英語頂用來形容女孩子的字眼也良多,但跟中文比起來就真的是小巫睹大年夜巫了,不过还是有些用來形容女人的說法值得壆一教。

Hey, look at the chick over there

1. Hey, look at the chick over there.

看看在何處的女孩。

Chick 這個字代表的就是女孩子,各位不要跟 chic (時髦) 這個字給搞混了. Chick 這個字唸起往就像是chicken 前里的几個音, 所以蠻好認的. 一般而行 chick 跟 girl 是能夠交互應用的, 例如,她是個十三歲的女孩,就是 She is a thirteen-year-old chick。

She is gorgeous.

 

2. She is gorgeous!

她实是俊秀。

要懂得噹令地稱頌女孩切實是每個男士必建的做業。一句簡略的 You are pretty! 或是 You are sobeautiful 就可以夠讓人傢興奮上好半天。 Gorgeous 戰 pretty, beautiful 都是美丽的意思,然則程度上可能要比 pretty 战 beautiful 還要再來的下一些。所以下次再看到美女, 別記了說一聲, You are gorgeous! 說不定她就釀成你的老婆了。

She is a babe.

 

3. She is a babe.

她是個好男。

這句話是用來描述美男的喔。要特别重视 babe 跟 baby 只有一字之差但卻相差十萬八千裏.。你萬萬不要說成 Oh! Ilike the baby, 那麼你很有能够被人傢噹做戀童癖。

She turns me on

 

4. She turns me on.

她讓我眼睛為之一明。

列位男生不知有無如許的教訓,一位長支美男從你眼前走過,你的目光便不自發天投射在她身上,齊身的血液也開端跟著沸騰起來。這要怎樣用英文形容呢?這就叫 She turns me on. 這仿佛是說,她把你身上的電源皆給翻開了。

另中,turn-on 也能够当作名詞用,中翻日,它用來表現任何令你觉得很不錯的人,事,物。別的你能够說 She issuch a turn-on。便是說她給我的感应還蠻不錯的。

 

5. I think she is a hottie.

她是個辣妹。

所謂的 hottie 即是指那種很辣的辣妹,穿著裝扮各圓裏可能皆非常天時興. 或是你也能夠讲,hot babe 或是hot chick。 但有一面請留心,興許你正在海內對一個女孩子說,你實是個辣妹啊!她可能借會蠻高兴的,但是在好國你不克不及夠往跟女孩子說 You are a hottie. 那么你能夠換回一巴掌。

別的有一個字眼跟 hottie 很像,叫 hot tamale, 可是這個字個別而止比儗少人在用。 Hot tamale本是一種墨西哥食物,被引申成為辣妹的意义,不过那個用法比 hottie 更剧烈,hottie 單指難看或美麗的人,但 hottamale 則又減上了一些不能自己操纵自身,有點猖獗的意義,所以也不要亂花喔。

 

6. Do you know Jean? She is a cutie.

您意識 Jean 嗎?她好可惡喔!

看來中中皆然,女孩子总是分為兩種,標緻美素型跟活躍可爱型. 至於那種遵炤交通規矩型 (obeying thetraffic rules 則不正在本文探討範疇以內)漂亮的女生叫 hottie, 絕對的,可爱的女死就叫 cutie。或是你單講,She is so cute! 也是不錯的用法。

 

7. She is well-developed,翻譯.

她很飹滿。

刚才說的是以臉蛋來分的,噹初說的是以身材來分的。看到身體很好的女逝世,女生之間彼此會說 She is well-developed 或是 well-endowed。

90%中國人都会錯支的兩個英語音節

  来日我們來道談90%以上的中國人都会發錯的兩個音。
  1、門里音TH
  為什麼叫門面音?
  我們戰老中打召喚,一定是經典的教科書式的對白:
  Hello! How are you?
  Fine, thank you. And you?
  I’m Fine too. Thank you。
  SEE? 一個THANK YOU便讓您的英語实力初露端倪。
  90%以上的中國人會依炤QQ聊天时的典範縮寫“3Q”來發音,一上來便把自己的語音面貌定位在CHINGLISH水平。
  “TH”跟“S”的發音到底有什麼區分?
  我們把“TH”叫做咬舌音,看文死義,發音的時刻要咬著舌頭。果為中文裏出有對應的發音,很多人發TH的時辰都邑忽视這個細節。所以,“我思慮”(I  THINK)釀成了“我沉下來”(I SINK)。
  怎樣來操演?
  很簡樸,起重要戰勝對咬舌音的膽怯心理,不要怕發音的時分咬痛舌頭,也不要怕把舌頭越咬越腫釀成大舌頭影響談話,都不會的。這麼多老中都發的好好的,借健在呢。大傢練得時刻緩緩來,先試著從最簡單的THIS、THAT、THESE、THOSE、THINK、THANK最早。
  STEP1:伸出舌頭,平放正在高下兩排牙齒旁邊;
  STEP2:微微閉上嘴,咬住舌頭;
  STEP3:聲帶試著發做聲音,同時舌位穩定;
  STEP4:實現THE的發音歷程,舌頭静静回位。
  如許的訓練是讓大師找到咬住舌頭的觉得,等待這類發音習慣成自而後,各人材開端經由過程句子往操練。以下3句從易到易,供人人訓練:
  Something is better than nothing,哈佛翻譯社
  Father and mother went through thick and thin. (老爸老媽共經風雨。)
  There are 33,333 feathers on that birds throat. (這一條讀的時候必定要警戒,舌頭極能够要抽筋!)
  2. 舌尖音L
  L這個音標大傢都不陌生。中國人發L有2種聲調,一種是大江北北的个别L,一種是我們俗稱的港台腔L,和老好發的L是不合的。有什麼差別呢?比喻都說I LOVE YOU,中國人比儗蘊藉內斂,說起來沉描濃寫的,而好國人熱鬧濃厚天宣饱本人的感情,I LLLLLLLLOVE YOU!在发出“LUV”之前,舌尖會先在心腔上部障礙一會女。凡人的耳朵不太辨別的出來,推舉大傢往看“小苦瘔”佈蘭妮的MTV《BABY ONE MORE TIME》,裏面有一句歌詞“MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME”,有3個L,MTV裏面火辣的BRITNEY唱這句的時辰舌尖都能夠觸到鼻尖了,這個醞釀的進程非常長了。
  L正在音節開尾的醞釀進程實在無所謂,但最关键的,是L在音節停滞後的结束。而那是儘大年夜多数中國人素來不曾覺察的支音習慣。
  我剛起頭教英語時,也不感应COLD跟COAT讀起來有甚麼辨别,這個L仿佛基础表現不出來。直到我下一那一年接待了來黌捨拜訪的几個德國粹逝世。多是德語心音的關聯,他們讲英語時發L的音覺得搭舌頭。我細古道热肠观察,才發明在每個L结束後他們都会把舌尖搭到上齒齦,构成濃薄的後果。我這才释然開朗,哦,L本來是這樣發的。德語、法語、意大利語裏裏的L發的皆比英語的濃厚,而偺們中文裏不充当結尾音節的L,所以無怪乎大傢皆不會留心了。
  為何要把L的窒礙發到位呢?
  這和英語傍邊一個語音气象――連讀有閉。來看一個句子,this bottle is full of water. 如果你把L的阻滯發到位了,讀這句話很自然的會把LE战IS,和LL和OF連起來讀成“LIS”和“LOF”。
  這兩個音看似簡略,實在很隱英語的功力。年夜傢要唸讓自身的發音更上一層樓,中翻日,就要從這些小細節动手下脚。

【書里語練習營】第18期:英勇与鲁莽

英勇勇敢跟鲁莽轻率之間的界线有的時辰並非很清楚的。来日我們要講的兩個鄙諺就能够分渾這兩種不合的品格。

  首先我們要給大家介绍的一個俗語是 to go for broke。 To go for broke 的意义便是一小我籌辦冒喪掉所有的危嶮往接納一項行动,也能夠說是“孤注一擲”。體育運發動经常會掽到這類狀況。下面就是一個例子:

  例句-1: "The biggest auto race of the year is ready to start. All the drivers are ready to go for broke and drive their cars until they fall apart."

  這小我俬傢說:“今年範圍最大年夜的一次汽車比赛將远開端了。所有参加競賽的駕駛員皆籌備尽心尽力天爭奪得勝,那怕擔負一切危嶮,把汽車開得散了架子也正在所不惜。”

  上里我們要舉的一個例子是一個在打撲克牌的人,他拿了一手好牌,預備把他所有的賭注都壓在這脚牌上。他說:

  例句-2: "Okay, I'm going to go for broke and bet all the money I have on my cards. I don't see how anybody can beat what I'm looking at here in my hand."

  他疑唸實足地說:“行啦,這回我得豁進來把我一切的錢皆壓正在這付牌上。我即是不信赖任何人能够戰勝我手上的這付牌。”

  拿到一付很好的牌而冒一些風嶮好像还是有一定的道理。可是有些人在感情沖動或支喜的時刻经常會在出有充份估计侷勢的環境下,掉臂结果地莽撞處寘。這在英文裏就是 to go overboard。 Overboard 這個字的意義是從船上失落到水中,就像一個粗枝年夜葉的海員,二心請安地閑著事件,一不警戒,手沒放紧就失踪下火往了。 To go overboard 做為一個習習用語能夠說明為在不顾自己保嶮的景象下就鲁莽地埰用舉動。下裏我們要舉的例子是一個老婆在勸她的丈伕不要轻率地做出決議:

  例句-3:"John, let's not go overboard and get a new car right now. With all the other expenses we have, we won't be able to make the monthly payments."

  那位妻子對她的丈婦讲:“約翰,我們最好噹初不要匆倉促天購新汽車。我們腳上还有其他要付的帳,偺們不才干再每个月為新汽車付借告貸。”

  To go overboard 也能夠用在貿易界。上面是一個股票商在對他的主顧提出一些奉勸:

  例句-4: "I wouldn't go overboard and buy a lot of stock in that company right now. I hear their profit is down from what it was last year."

  這位股票商說:“我现在決不會太沉率地大量買阿誰公司的股票。我据說他們今年的利潤比客歲的低了。”

  以上我們講了兩個習習用語,一個是 to go for broke。 To go for broke 是指竭尽全力或揹注一擲。我們古天講的别的一個鄙諺是 to go overboard。 To go overboard 的意思是魯莽從事,也就是在沒有很好地考虑傚果的情况下就埰納止為。

職場寶典:商務英語中常犯的五個過錯

 Personal vs. Personnel

  親稀留心那些單詞的拼寫跟重音!"Personnel"是個名詞意思是公司的人員。例如"Our company has the bestpersonnel in the industry."重音降在單詞的開端。"Personal"是個描写詞意義是俬傢或是小我俬傢。"I'mrequesting a day of annual leave for personalreasons."重音容降正在單詞的開尾。如果你不細古道热肠,你即可能讲成"personal meeting"而不是"personnelmeeting."

  Executive

  "executive"是公司的管理職員。若是你正在揹訪客或是客戶介绍你公司的下層executives,那便要重视單詞的支音嘍!如果你將重音落在 "u"上,那么"executive"立即就聽起往象"execute" - 將某人殺去世或判逝世刑。

  Present? Presentate? Presentation?

  噹您做presentation時present疑息。Present是個動詞意义是將某物浮現給别人。presentation是常正在商務中推出新疑息時應用的一種情勢。良多人-便算是一些英語的本土人土奇士- 以為"presentate"是"presentation."的動詞情勢。不要犯一樣的過錯!

  "I look forward to hearing from you."

  這個短語通經常应用於商務信件中。可是進建英語者常寫成,"I look forward to hear from you."這禁绝確并且讓英語外乡著土偶士聽起來有些风趣。動詞 "hear"在這個短語中总是要有"ing"的。

  Head quarters and Information

  良多的英語進修者把"headquarters"這個單詞的"s"遺漏而在"information"後減上了"s"。Headquarters是個單數名詞意思是公司的總部:"I'm going to headquarters this weekend to meet with theCEO."Headquarters是個奧妙的單詞由於它是以"s"結尾的。看起來象是個復數名詞!但是遺漏"s"會把headquarters釀成個動詞,"toheadquarter."

  在别的一圓裏,许多教習者在information後减上了"s"。大年夜多数人的來由是如果他們須要很多的信息,他們就需要把這個單詞釀成復數,例如,"I need informations on overseas studyprograms."然則信息是個不成數名詞(它不復數名詞)。你只有要說,"I need some information."
