看来，Ryan在严格执行fitness regimen - 瘦身养生法。Alice请他喝咖啡，可他嫌咖啡的calories - "卡路里"太多。
Professor: That's right. It's one thing to maintain a healthy diet, but that sounds a little crazy.
就是的! 他还说，三明治他也不吃，因为面包里有太多carbohydrates - 碳水化合物!
Professor: That definitely doesn't sound like a healthy diet to me.
可不! Ryan现在似乎只喝protein drinks - 蛋白质饮料! 这有点过头了吧!
Alice: You know, Ryan, I totally support you getting in shape, and I'm really impressed that you have been able to stay so motivated. But I think exercise is best done in moderation.
Ryan: Oh yeah, I totally agree. For example, I usually do at least two workouts at the gym per day, but on Christmas I only did one because it was a holiday.
Alice: Well let me ask you a question. If women really love your new physique, how will you have time to date when you have to spend all your time at the gym working out?
Ryan: Don't worry! Once I find a girlfriend, I'll stop working out and get really fat.
Alice: Well, Ryan, I am very jealous of whatever lucky lady finds you.
啊？原来Ryan健身的目的就是吸引女孩子啊？他说，一旦找到女朋友，就立刻停止锻练，让自己变成大胖子。根本不想保持现在全新的physique - 体形。 Professor Bowman，不会所有男人都在打这种如意算盘吧？
Professor: Well if you have to choose between a really vain guy and a lazy guy, who would you pick?
是要vain guy - 虚荣的男人，还是lazy guy - 懒惰的男人？ 我想，我还是养只狗吧!
A: 原来Ryan has been working out hardcore, 坚持不懈的锻炼，而且只喝protein shake 蛋白质饮料，目的就是为了吸引女孩子啊!
B: I think a lot of guys just go to the gym to show off their muscles!
A: 哈哈，不过啊，如果能一边健身一边欣赏帅哥，也不错!
B: 你又做梦了! Showing off is annoying, but there are worse things: yesterday I was at the gym and there was this guy who was on the phone, chatting away like there was no one else around! So annoying!
A: I know. People today don't pay attention to etiquette the way they used to. Yesterday I was having dinner with a friend and she was constantly checking her phone! 简直就像患了电话迷恋症!
B: That's a modern day disease. In today's business etiquette, we are going to take a look at a brand new idea: allowing people to use their cell phones while in the air!
A: 哦? 在飞机上也能打电话? 这听着还不错， 咱们赶快去一探究竟吧!
礼节美语 - BE-249 Cell Phones I
Sue跟坐在隔壁的同事George聊天。
Sue: Hey George, take a look at this article. It says several major airlines are considering allowing people to use their cell phones while in the air.
George: Oh no, really? That's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
S: Oh? Why do you feel that way?
G: Well, I fly for business quite frequently and a plane is now one of the last places where I don't have to hear people chatting on cell phones. I really enjoy the peace and quiet.
S: But it would be so convenient if we were able to make calls during long flights. Just think of how much work we could get done!
Sue告诉George, 现在好几家航空公司都考虑允许乘客在飞行途中使用手机。George觉得这个主意简直糟糕透了，因为飞机是公共场所里所剩无几不用听别人打电话的地方之一，I really enjoy the peace and quiet. George说自己很享受这种宁静，但是 Sue 觉得，如果能在飞机上打手机，就方便多了，好多事都能在飞机上处理完毕。
G: I think perhaps people are taking the idea of multitasking a little bit too far. I get calls from people on my cell phone and they say things like "Where were you? I've been trying to reach you all afternoon." Well, I was on the golf course and I turned off my cell phone...is that a crime?
S: I see what you mean. We are so connected these days that there is hardly any time for peace and quiet. I'll tell you a secret that's a little embarrassing: I leave my cell phone on all night long, just in case a call comes in.
George觉得有些人 take the idea of multitasking a little bit too far. to take something too far 意思是一件事做得过头了，multitasking is spelled m-u-l-t-i-t-a-s-k-i-n-g, multitasking, multitasking 意思是同时做好几件工作。George说，有时候去打高尔夫球，把手机关机turn off the cell phone，就会有人因为找不到他而质问他到哪里去了，George跟Sue这些手机24小时开机的人形成了鲜明对照。
G: I know lots of people who do that. They say, "what if there is an emergency?" I guess I can understand why someone would feel that way, but I think sometimes we need to turn off our cell phones and tune out all the noise.
S: I can see your point. I get really frustrated by businesspeople that seem to never put down their cell phone. I have to listen to their long, boring conversations and there is really no way I can tune it out.
G: So people take calls every 2 or 3 minutes! Most of the time I think business conversations can probably wait until you get back to the office.
George认为，不能因为担心别人有急事，就把手机随时开机。Sue对George的看法表示赞同，说 I see your point. point在这里是观点的意思，有时候别人打电话，交谈内容很无聊，可是 There is no way I can tune it out. 我又没办法把这种噪音屏蔽掉，to tune something out意思是不去管它，听而不闻。George也觉得，其实很多跟工作有关的电话都可以等回办公室再打。
A: Well, I'm torn. At first I thought it would be nice if I could talk with my friends during a long, boring flight; but putting myself in other passengers' shoes, hours of endless chatter sounds terrifying!
B: Oh-ho-ho, under my influence, you finally learned how to 换位思考! I'm so proud of you, baby!
A: Ehhhh....Kat...
B: Ok ok, kidding. But seriously, I think that is such a bad idea, I really don't want to hear all the details of someone's break-up or the latest details about your gross health problems!
A: 那咱们接着来听听Sue和George怎么说吧!
礼节美语 - BE-250 Cell Phones II
Sue跟坐在隔壁的同事George聊天。
S: That's true...we might actually be making more work for ourselves by this constant need to stay in touch.
G: If they allow cell phones on airplanes...we're going to have to hear even more hours of endless chatter.I heard that some trains have what are called "quiet cars" now. People in the quiet cars aren't allowed to talk on cell phones. I think that's an excellent idea! I wish there were more "quiet" places. I'd pay more to eat at a restaurant that banned cell phones.
Sue表示，无时无刻stay in touch保持联系，无疑会让自己的工作量增加。George也担心，如果容许大家在飞机上打电话的话，就又得听别人没完没了的聊大天儿了。George说，现在火车上有不让接听电话的"quiet cars"安静车厢，他希望有更多类似的公共场合，如果哪家餐馆禁止顾客接听手机的话，提高价格他都没有意见。
S: We really don't get a lot of quiet time these days. My brother recently went to a meditation center where he didn't speak for three days. He said after three days, he finally noticed how much noise there is everywhere.
G: I think being connected to the world 24 hours a day, 365 days a year isn't healthy. We sometimes need to be alone in order to think.
S: And you can't think if it's noisy.
G: Many famous people discovered important things when they were just sitting silently by themselves...you know the story about Issac Newton, right?
Sue说，现在的生活实在嘈杂，她哥哥最近到一个meditation center静思冥想中心去，三天没说一句话，三天过后才突然间意识到周围的环境是多么地嘈杂。George也觉得，一年365天，一天24小时随时随地 stay connected 跟别人保持联络其实是不利健康的，他还举例说，很多名人的重要发现都是在冥思苦想时发生，比如 Isaac Newton 牛顿。
S: Yep. He came up with the theory of gravity while sitting in a field and watching an apple fall from a tree.
G: He probably wouldn't have had time to think about gravity if he was talking on his cell phone. Anyway, I really hope they don't allow cell phones on planes. We need a few last places without cell phones!
S: All right, I can accept that. And besides, many airlines now allow you to use your laptop during the flight...if you really need to communicate, you can send an e-mail.
Sue说，没错，如果牛顿当时正忙着讲手机的话，就不会came up with the theory of gravity了。 to come up with意思是想到，发现，the theory of gravity意思是万有引力的理论。Sue 最后说，其实，现在很多航空公司都已经允许乘客使用laptop手提电脑了，所以如果在飞行期间需要跟别人联系，发电子邮件就可以了。
B: And that's why I love to meditate. The world today is so busy and noisy, it's hard for people to sit down quietly and listen to their heart.
A: 我觉得我也该跟你一起去! 现在工作这么忙，我连做梦都梦到我们在开会，太可怕了!
