A: Amber D: Dave
Amber runs into her friend Dave shortly after the Lunar New Year.
A: Well, you look a bit different from the last time I saw you. Have you gained any weight?
D: I was hoping nobody would notice.
A: Oh, I didn’t mean to be rude.
D: No worries, it’s fine. I definitely ate too much during the holidays.
A: Yeah, overeating during the holidays is hard to avoid.
D: Tell me about it! There are too many delicious dishes on offer.
A: Are you interested in shedding some weight?
D: I sure am. Do you have any suggestions?
A: I’ve been going to a gym nearby. They have great equipment and classes.

安 柏: 嗯,你看起來和我上次見到你時有點不一樣。你體重增加了嗎?
戴 夫: 我本來希望沒人會注意到。
安 柏: 哦,我不是故意無禮的。
戴 夫: 沒關係,沒事。這個假期我肯定吃太多了。
安 柏: 是啊,在假期暴飲暴食是很難避免的。
戴 夫: 可不是嗎!桌上有太多美味的菜餚了。
安 柏: 那你有興趣減重嗎?
戴 夫: 我當然有。妳有什麼建議嗎?
安 柏: 我一直都有去附近的健身房。他們有很棒的設備和課程。
