Robert: Why are you twisting your back like that?

罗伯特：你后背怎么扭曲成那样?

Staci: I’m in pain. My back and shoulders really hurt. I think it’s from sitting at this computer all the time.

斯塔斯：我很痛苦，我的后背和肩膀都很疼。我想是因为长时间在电脑前面坐着的原因。

Robert: What you need is a good massage. It can get rid of the knots in your muscles and get you some pain relief.

罗伯特：你需要来个按摩。按摩能够让你的肌肉摆脱僵硬，你的痛苦也能减轻。

Staci: I don’t know. I don’t like the idea of getting naked in front of a stranger.

斯塔斯：不知道啊，我不喜欢在陌生人面前脱光衣服。

Robert: If you’re skittish about that, remember that you’ll be covered with a sheet, except for the part that he or she is working on. It’s not a big deal.

罗伯特：不要担心，你身上还盖着单子呢，只有按摩的部位露在外面，没什么大不了的。

Staci: But what if they’re too rough with me? It might make things worse.

斯塔斯：但是如果他们对我太粗鲁怎么办?那情况也许更糟糕。

Robert: An experienced massage therapist will ask you the amount of pressure you want and you can speak up if you don’t like what he or she is doing.

Robert: Definitely. I recommend my massage therapist. She’s licensed and very good.

罗伯特：那当然。给你推荐我的按摩理疗师，她有执照，而且非常好。

Staci: She doesn’t use smelly oils or play hokey music during the massage, does she?

斯塔斯：她在按摩时，不会用些刺鼻的精油或者放些奇怪的音乐，是吧?

Robert: No, she doesn’t. She’s very professional, without being too clinical, if you know what I mean. Call her!

罗伯特：不，她不会那样做。她很专业，她按摩很有一套，如果你能明白我所说，给她打电话吧。

Staci: I’ll think about it – ouch!

斯塔斯：我想一想——噢!

Robert: Call her right now. You don’t have a minute to lose!
