体育美语013讲

Y:(Breathing heavily) I can't run anymore.

P:Yang, Chen, we've only run a half mile. We have four and a half miles to go before we finish!

Y:(Stopping) 还有4个半英里?我要累死了。

P:I wonder why are you so tired. What did you do last night. Shopping again?

Y:Macy's had a great sale.大降价。

P:But that still doesn't explain your terrible performance today. Yang Chen, let me ask you some questions. Did you stretch before the race?

Y:No.

P:Did you have a meal with plenty of carbohydrates?

Y:碳水化合物? 没有。I didn't eat anything.

P: I can't believe this. Did you have any water or sports drinks before the race?

Y:Coffee!

P: You did everything wrong. Everything. First of all, your body needs carbohydrates (carbs) for the energy that you will use to run.

Y: 下次跑步之前先补充carbs，吃块儿面包。

P:Also, you drank the WRONG liquid, Yang Chen.

YWhy?

PYour body needs to be hydrated - meaning having enough water - Coffee is a diuretic, so it actually makes you dehydrated - which means you don't have enough water in your body.

Y:Patrick, I'm not going to quit 前进!

P: Let's stop today. You are totally dehydrated. And how many cups of coffee did you have today?

Y:I had five.

P:I think it's time to go to the hospital, Yang Chen. 救护车。
