【故事梗概】健身教练Jack Davis给Richard做了简单的健康检查。
在交谈中，Jack了解到Richard是一位摄影师，而Jack正好需要一些照片来给自己的健身中心做广告。
于是Richard以拍照片代替了上午的锻炼。
Jack: OK, Richard.
That's terrific.
Your pressure is 120 over 75, and that's fine.
Now stand up, please.
Good, it's 122 over 80.
You can sit down now.
When was your last complete physical?
Richard: Six months ago.
Jack: Good.
Do you have any back or knee problems?
Richard: Nope.
I am in perfect health.
Jack: What do you do for a living, Mr.
Stewart?
Richard: I'm a photographer.
Jack: Interesting.
What do you photograph?
Richard: Everything.
The American scene.
People, places, events.
Jack: Did you ever think of photographing an aerobics class?
Richard: No…I can't remember taking pictures of people exercising.
Jack: But don't you think it'd be a good subject?
Richard: Sure.
Jack: I need some good photos for my advertising, Mr.
Stewart.
Maybe you can photograph a class, and I can give you and Mrs.
Stewart a month of classes - free.
Richard: When can I photograph a class?
Jack: Anytime.
Richard: How about today?
Jack: Terrific!
【语言点精讲】1.
Your pressure is 120 over 75.
你的血压是收缩压（高压）120，舒张压（低压）75。
这里的pressure是指blood pressure（血压）。
2.
When was your last complete physical?
你上次全身检查是什么时候？
这里complete physical意思是complete physical examination（全身检查）。
3.
Nope.
I am in perfect health.
没有。
我健康状况遥良好。
Nope，不，没有，意思与No.
相同。
此处指背部(back)和膝盖(knee)均遥病。
这是一个很不正式的词。
4.
What do you do for a living?
你是干哪一行的？
这是询问对方职业的一种方式。
注意这里What do you的发音，它在口语中常连在一起发音，成为Waddaya。
5.
The American scene.
美国风情。
6.
Did you ever think of photographing an aerobics class?
你想到过拍一个健身操班上课的照片吗？
Did you ever.
.
.
可以用来询问别人是否作过某事。
注意Jack发音，他把did you读成了didja。
did you在口语中常常被读成 didja。
7.
But don't you think it'd be a good subject?
可是你不认为这是个好的创作题材吗？
这又是一句反问的话，用来询问别人的看法，旨在得到或暗示正面的答复。
it'd是it would的缩写，用 would 代替 will，表示不肯定、客气、谦虚等感情，是一种遥虚拟语态。
subject在这里指创作题材。
另外，请注意don't you的发音，它在口语中常连读成dontcha。
8.
Maybe you can photograph a class, and I can give you and Mrs.
Stewart a month of classes - free.
也许你可以拍一个班在上课，我可以遥让你和Stewart夫人上一个月的课。
