(Half an hour later)

Todd: I can't believe it. I only made it for 3 minutes and 12 seconds.

Steve: I wasn't much better. I barely broke 4 minutes.

Todd: I just wasn't on today.

Steve: I don't think I had my shoes laced tight enough.

Todd: Do you think we warmed up too long?

Steve: Maybe we spent too much time in the steam room.

托德：我不能相信。我只做了三分十二秒。

史提：我也好不到哪里去。我差一点就破不了四分钟。

托德：只怪今天我的动力没有全开。

史提：我也觉得自己的鞋带绑得不够紧。

托德：你觉得我们做热身运动时间太长了吗?

史提：或许我们在蒸汽室呆得太久了。
