Pedro: Hey Uma, you're a runner, aren't you?
嘿，烏瑪，妳是不是有在跑步？

Uma: Yes, why do you ask?
是啊，怎麼了嗎？

Pedro: Well, I want to sign up for a marathon, is it easy?
嗯，我想報名馬拉松比賽，簡單嗎?

Uma: A lot easier than actually running the marathon!
比實際跑馬拉松簡單很多。

Pedro: So where do I start?
那麼我要從何著手呢？

Uma: There are different websites but one of the best is Runners'Plaza; they give you all the dates and places over the next year.
有許多不同的報名網站，但其中最好的是「跑者廣場」，上面有明年度所有比賽的日期及地點資訊。

Pedro: Cool! Wow, you didn't tell me they get booked up so far in advance.
太酷了! 哇，但你沒有跟我說已經開始受理預約報名了。

Uma: Yes, but look, there's an available place next month.
沒錯，但是妳看，下個月有空出一個名額。

Pedro: Oh, maybe that's a little too soon for me. I need to lose several kilos and get into some training first.
哦，對我來說也許有點太快了。我需要減個幾公斤，並且先進行一些訓練。

Uma: Ha, ha, getting cold feet already. Come on click on the box and sign up. We can start training right now.
哈哈哈，你已經臨陣退縮了！ 點選這裡報名吧，我們可以馬上開始訓練。

Pedro: But, but….
但…..但是…..

Uma: No buts; just click here. Good, now you are going to be a marathon runner.
沒有藉口，只要點下去就行了。很好，現在妳就要成為馬拉松選手了。
