地道美語聽力播客658:來次按摩（雙語）

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(dān)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(jīng)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(dāng)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!
