May: Mom, this is your third bowl of rice!

Shirley: I know but I have no choice. My stomach just keeps crying for more and more.

May: Why? I never saw you eat so much before.

Shirley: I've been going to the gym these days. The exercise makes me hungry all the time.

May: So your stomach is the one that actually gets a lot of work-out.

Shirley: Don't pull my leg.

May: This way you'll probably put on more weight. Will you give up?

Shirley: Surely not. I can feel the results. I'm starting to feel different now.

May: Then how are you gonna deal with the problem of getting extra weight?

Shirley: I'm planning to meet my personal trainer to have the work-out plan fixed.

May: Oh, I've got an idea. Why don't you ask Dad to go with you? He badly needs some exercise.

Shirley: Your father is a bit too timid. He even doesn't know how to introduce himself.

May: He can just say: “I'm Benjamin. I'm new and shy.”

Shirley: Girl, don't make fun of your Daddy. But I can introduce him to my personal trainer. Maybe one day he will be a fitness freak instead of a cough potato.

May: Who knows!

雪莉：我知道，但是我沒辦法，我的胃總是想要吃更多。

阿美：為什麼?以前我從沒見過你吃這麼多啊。

雪莉：我最近去健身房。鍛鍊時我總是覺得很餓。

阿美：你的胃一定做了很多的運動嘍!

雪莉：別拿我開心了。

阿美：這樣你可能會增肥的'。你會放棄嗎?

雪莉：當然不了，我覺得非常有效果。現在，我開始感覺到(身體的)變化了。

阿美：那你要怎麼處理變胖的問題呢?

雪莉：我在考慮見一下我的私人健身教練，改一下健身計劃。

阿美：哦，我有一個主意。幹嗎不叫爸爸和你一起去呢?他很需要運動。

雪莉：你爸爸太膽小了。(我想)他連怎麼介紹自己都不知道。

阿美：他只要説：“我是本傑明，我是新來的，我很害羞。”

雪莉：嗨，別拿你爸爸開玩笑。不過，我可以把你爸爸介紹給我的健身教練，也許有一天，你爸爸會變成一個健身狂而不是現在的電視精。

阿美：誰知道呢!

註釋

ess freak: fitness的意思是健康，freak的意思是怪物，有的人瘋狂迷戀健身，所以被稱為fitness freak(健身狂)。

2. couch potato: couch potato長沙發，土豆，當然這裏既沒有沙發也沒有土豆，這是幽默的手法，因為有的人老看電視，什麼都不做，像種在沙發中的土豆一樣，意思是“電視精”。
