實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Steroids 類固醇

Todd: Talking about body alterations, I think for men it's not so much cosmetic surgery, but it's steroids these days. That's the hot topic.

托德：在談到改變身體時(shí)，我認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在男性一般不會(huì)做整容手術(shù)，而是會(huì)使用類固醇。這是個(gè)熱門(mén)話題。

Wendi: Do you think so?

溫迪：你這么認(rèn)為嗎?

Todd: Well, I'll tell you, when I was in high school, I knew so many guys that did steroids, at least probably twenty, twenty-five guys I knew did steroids in high school.

托德：對(duì)，我上高中的時(shí)候，我知道有許多人都使用類固醇，高中時(shí)我認(rèn)識(shí)的人中至少有20個(gè)，至少有25個(gè)人都使用類固醇。

Wendi: But do you think that currently, that kids are into steroids? Are you thinking of like athletic, for athletes type thing, or are you just thinking guys that wanna look big and stuff?

溫迪：你認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在孩子們也會(huì)用類固醇嗎?還是你指的是運(yùn)動(dòng)員，還是那些想要健碩身材的人?

Todd: Well, that's a good point like I'm older now. I'm 36 and I haven't been in the states in awhile but when I was in university up until 22 it was still quite a common thing. And I think athletes do it because they can get money. That know that...

托德：嗯，這是個(gè)好問(wèn)題，現(xiàn)在我年紀(jì)大些了。我已經(jīng)36歲了，而且我有一段時(shí)間沒(méi)有回美國(guó)了，不過(guò)我22歲大學(xué)畢業(yè)的時(shí)候，使用類固醇是個(gè)很普遍的現(xiàn)象。我認(rèn)為運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)使用類固醇，因?yàn)槟强梢詭椭麄儷@得獎(jiǎng)金。

Wendi: Oh, for sure. Yeah, I think definitely in the high school kind of sports scene, I think that there are a lot of youth taking steroids as performance enhancers. But when I was in high school, I knew some guys who were taking steroids just to look good. Well, what their concept of looking good was, which I thought was not good at all, but I know they were taking it because they thought bigger was better kind of thing, but yeah.

溫迪：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我認(rèn)為有很多從事體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的高中生會(huì)使用類固醇來(lái)提高運(yùn)動(dòng)表現(xiàn)。我上高中時(shí)，我認(rèn)識(shí)的一些人使用類固醇只是為了要肌肉身材?？墒俏艺J(rèn)為他們所理解的好身材一點(diǎn)都不好，我知道他們使用類固醇是想讓身材更好、更健壯。

Todd: Now they know, all these things it can do to your body. It can give you cancer.

托德：現(xiàn)在他們知道類固醇會(huì)給他們的身體帶來(lái)什么了，類固醇可能致癌。

Wendi: Yeah. Yeah.

溫迪：對(duì)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。

Todd: I mean, so it's the same thing with the implants that you were talking about earlier. Why would you do anything to your body that could be such a risk? I mean, it's just not worth the risk.

托德：我認(rèn)為這和你之前說(shuō)的豐胸是一樣的情況。為什么要冒險(xiǎn)對(duì)身體做這種事情呢?我覺(jué)得這種冒險(xiǎn)并不值得。

Wendi: But I guess that's not the perspective because like, it's all about right now is the moment and people don't really think of life as being like, like something that comes and goes. Like your life is your life and it's like it's here and it's here forever kind of and I don't think that people really put it into perspective, like actually like in the blink of an eye it can all be gone.

溫迪：我想是角度不同吧，因?yàn)樗麄冎豢紤]了現(xiàn)在，沒(méi)有想到這些東西總有一天會(huì)消失。他們認(rèn)為生活就是生活，會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)這樣，我想他們并沒(méi)有考慮到這些會(huì)在一瞬間消失掉。

Todd: Right. Which is true. In a blink of an eye it all can be gone.

托德：對(duì)，說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。一瞬間就會(huì)消失掉。

Wendi: Yeah, it all can be gone incredibly easy.

溫迪：對(duì)，很容易就會(huì)沒(méi)有了。
