Your pressure is 120 over 75.120，舒张压（低压）75。这里的pressure是指blood pressure（血压）。 2. When was your last complete physical? 这里complete physical意思是complete physical examination（全身检查）。 3. Nope. I am in perfect health.Nope，“不，没有”，意思与No.相同。 此处指背部(back)和膝盖(knee)均无毛病。 这是一个很不正式的词。 4. What do you do for a living?注意这里What do you的发音，它在口语中常连在一起发音，成为Waddaya。 5. The American scene.。 6. Did you ever think of photographing an aerobics class? Did you ever...可以用来询问别人是否作过某事。注意Jack发音，他把did you读成了didja。did you在口语中常常被读成 didja。 7. But dont you think itd be a good subject?这又是一句反问的话，用来询问别人的看法，旨在得到或暗示正面的答复。itd是it would的缩写，用 would 代替 will，表示不肯定、客气、谦虚等感情，是一种现在虚拟语态。subject在这里指“创作题材”。另外，请注意dont you的发音，它在口语中常连读成dontcha。 8. Maybe you can photograph a class, and I can give you and Mrs. Stewart a month of classes - free.Stewart夫人上一个月的课。Maybe you can…是用来婉转地请求别人帮忙的句型。 Jack: Hi.Instructor: Oh, hi.Jack: Are we ready to go?Instructor: Yeah. Yeah. Lets get in our lines. Were going to take it slow first. Stretch up…and were going to go left first …2, 3, 4…now switch
