Q&A Round 2
Julie: What are the benefits that exercise brings you?

Dom在说到这些健身给精神健康带来的好处时说：

The science behind that is ... 也就是我们常说的“科学表明，……”，但直译比起他的说法，会显得有点耿直和憨厚。

那么好处是什么？
When you workout, your brain releases something called endorphins.

划重点：
Endorphins 内啡肽，大脑分泌的一种化学物质，可以减轻痛感或让人很high的那个。

Release 分泌，产生

Chemical 化学物质

Hormone 荷尔蒙，激素

其他的好处哩？
It helps you set goals, achieve goals. It can take your mind off the other things you might be thinking about.

划重点：
Set goals 设立目标
Achieve goals 达成目标
Take one’s mind off sth. 让人暂时不去想某事，抽离，e.g.:
Listening to classical music helps take my mind off the busy daily work. 听古典音乐能帮我暂时忘记白天纷繁的工作。

Q&A Round 3
Julie: Why is it not easy for people who do regular exercise to gain weight? 健身的人为啥不爱长胖？

干吃不胖，是不是你的人生目标？反正我是想这样。

这是个专业的问题，但Dom以入门级同学可以听懂的方式解释如下：
Whether it's weight loss or weight gain, it's all about calories.
If you are losing weight, it's because you have something we call 'calorie deficit'.

划重点
Weight loss 体重下降 （名词短语）
Weight gain 体重上升 （名词短语）

Whether it's A or B, it's all about...就是我们常说的不管A还是B，都是由什么决定的。

Lose weight 体重下降 （动宾形式）
Gain weight 体重上升 （动宾形式）

Calorie deficit 卡路里亏损
Calorie surplus 卡路里盈余

Dom 进一步解释：
If you take in more calories than you burn, then you put on weight; if you take in less calories than you burn, you lose weight.
也就是说，摄入卡路里-燃烧卡路里决定了你会不会胖。摄入卡路里>燃烧卡路里，情况不妙；摄入卡路里<燃烧卡路里，瘦瘦瘦，所以健身更容易得到这个负数嘛。

当然，也不能认为健身就是唯一变瘦的因素，因为摄入卡路里这个事情不好控制，关键在于吃。

所以我们建议！
Make sure you eat healthy foods!
That's the decisive factor in weigh gain and weight loss. 吃啥才是决定因素，吃的要健康！

“3分练，7分吃”是健身达人都奉行的黄金定律：
30% is done in the gym and 70% in the kitchen.

Q&A Round 4
Julie：As a buff of gym exercise, can you tell me three major benefits that you get from going to the gym?

Buff 爱好者

Become a bit addicted to it 健身是会上瘾的哦

Physique 身材 （主要用在男士）
Figure 身材 （主要用在女士）
Physique和figure可以用于同意替换

My physique improves. 身材变好。

Have a break from day-to-day life 从日常生活中暂时脱离一下

Have a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life 暂时远离生活的喧嚣

And also if I go to the gym in the morning, it's the best way to wake up and it gets me ready for the day.

Dom认为早上健身比咖啡更提神。

Get sb. Ready for the day 让人为一整天做好准备

Task
Why do you go to the gym? What are your goals/reasons?
