坐电梯还是走楼梯

你怎么每次都坐电梯上来？我们公司在三楼，走楼梯很快的。

How come you always take the elevator up? Our office is on the third floor, walking the stairs is quick.

对，我每天都坐电梯，我不太喜欢走楼梯。你为什么每天都要走楼梯呢？

Right, I take the elevator every day, I don't really like walking the stairs. Why do you walk them every day?

因为走楼梯也是运动，对身体好。你不想身体好一点吗？

Because walking the stairs is exercise too, it's good for your body. Don't you want to be a bit healthier?

就三楼，这一点运动，真的有用吗？你觉得走几步楼梯，能有什么用？

It's only three floors, is this little bit of exercise really useful? What good do you think a few stairs can do?

有用！我知道楼梯一共有五十几步，我每天都走，身体真的好多了。你觉得，这是不是运动？

It's useful! I know there are fifty-some steps in total, I walk them every day, and my body really has gotten better. Do you think this isn't exercise?

五十几步，这就是运动？我觉得这是你的习惯，不是运动。你每天走楼梯，不觉得累吗？

Fifty-some steps, that counts as exercise? I think that's just your habit, not exercise. Don't you find it tiring, walking the stairs every day?

累一点也没关系，习惯是慢慢来的。你已经很多年没走楼梯了吧？

A little tiring is fine, habits build up slowly. You haven't walked the stairs in many years, have you?

对，我已经很多年没走楼梯了，我就是喜欢坐电梯。你觉得，习惯和运动，是一样的吗？

Right, I haven't walked the stairs in many years, I just like the elevator. Do you think habit and exercise are the same thing?

不一样，但是习惯可以帮你多运动。你不上班的时候，做什么运动？

Not the same, but a habit can help you exercise more. What exercise do you do when you're not at work?

我不上班的时候会打篮球，那也是运动，和走楼梯不一样。你觉得，走楼梯真的比打篮球好吗？

When I'm not at work I play basketball, that's exercise too, different from walking the stairs. Do you really think walking the stairs is better than playing basketball?

打篮球很好，但是走楼梯每天都可以做。你明天要不要和我一起走一次楼梯？

Playing basketball is great, but walking the stairs is something you can do every day. Do you want to walk the stairs with me once tomorrow?

好，我可以和你走一次，但是我还是喜欢坐电梯，我们两个人不用一样。

Fine, I can walk it with you once, but I still like the elevator, the two of us don't have to be the same.
