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!
