P: Hey Yang Chen, what are you doing?

Y: 我要去跑步。You should come with me.

P: Are you insinuating that I need to go for a run?

Y: Insinuating?

P: Insinuating means implying.

Y: 我不用暗示,我是很明确地告诉你you need to exercise more.

P: I’ll have you know that I exercise every day.

Y: 你说的exercise恐怕是动嘴皮子吧。Exercising your mouth and your remote finger don’t count.

P: Hardy-har. I’ll have you know I get up each morning, put on my running shoes, and jog for over three miles.

Y: 嗯, 三英里正好跑到了前面的ice cream shop。

P: After I run, I make sure to eat healthy. By the way, why the sudden interest in jogging anyways Yang Chen? Those look like some pretty new running shoes you’ve got there.

Y: Thanksgiving! 吃了好多火鸡。I need to run off my turkey weight.

P: Hmm, run off your turkey weight. Good idea.

Y:你不用幸灾乐祸,you need to run off your turkey too.

P: Oh, I don’t even eat turkey. So are you training for the 5k?

Y: 5k?

P: 5 Kilometer race. Lots of places have them after Thanksgiving.

Y: 5公里赛跑。

P: How far have you run in the past?

Y: Well, 我一般不跑5k, 我跑5m.

P: 5m? 5 miles?

Y: No, 5 meters!
