Robert: Why are you twisting your back like that?
羅伯特:你后背怎么扭曲成那樣?
Staci: I’m in pain. My back and shoulders really hurt. I think it’s from sitting at this computer all the time.
斯塔斯:我很痛苦,我的后背和肩膀都很疼。我想是因為長時間在電腦前面坐著的原因。
Robert: What you need is a good massage. It can get rid of the knots in your muscles and get you some pain relief.
羅伯特:你需要來個按摩。按摩能夠讓你的肌肉擺脫僵硬,你的痛苦也能減輕。
Staci: I don’t know. I don’t like the idea of getting naked in front of a stranger.
斯塔斯:不知道啊,我不喜歡在陌生人面前脫光衣服。
Robert: If you’re skittish about that, remember that you’ll be covered with a sheet, except for the part that he or she is working on. It’s not a big deal.
羅伯特:不要擔心,你身上還蓋著單子呢,只有按摩的部位露在外面,沒什么大不了的。
Staci: But what if they’re too rough with me? It might make things worse.
斯塔斯:但是如果他們對我太粗魯怎么辦?那情況也許更糟糕。
Robert: An experienced massage therapist will ask you the amount of pressure you want and you can speak up if you don’t like what he or she is doing.
羅伯特:一個有經驗的理療師會問你你想要的按摩力度。按摩時,如果不喜歡他/她的按摩方式,你可以說出來。
Staci: Do you think a massage could really help me?
斯塔斯:你認為按摩真能對我有所幫助?
Robert: Definitely. I recommend my massage therapist. She’s licensed and very good.
羅伯特:那當然。給你推薦我的按摩理療師,她有執(zhí)照,而且非常好。
Staci: She doesn’t use smelly oils or play hokey music during the massage, does she?
斯塔斯:她在按摩時,不會用些刺鼻的精油或者放些奇怪的音樂,是吧?
Robert: No, she doesn’t. She’s very professional, without being too clinical, if you know what I mean. Call her!
羅伯特:不,她不會那樣做。她很專業(yè),她按摩很有一套,如果你能明白我所說,給她打電話吧。
Staci: I’ll think about it – ouch!
斯塔斯:我想一想——噢!
Robert: Call her right now. You don’t have a minute to lose!
羅伯特:馬上給她打電話吧。別再耽誤時間啦!
