C: Hi, Mary. Why didn't I see you in the body-keeping club yesterday?
M: After the jogging last weekend, I'm always having an ache in my whole body. So I am having a rest at home.
C: You surely would feel aching,because it was the first time you went to keep fit.
M: I know. but it really hurts.
C: You'd better stick it out. How about trying other exercises?
M: What?
C: Have you heard of Latin? Yoga, Pilates and Latin dancing are fashionable figure-shaping programs with many women followers. You will also sweat a lot when you are dancing Latin.
M: Is it useful?
C: Yes, indeed. Dance is a song of the body, I tell you. It's addicting! I feel like a new man.
M: Oh, I got it. It is the secret of your good shape.
C: Come on, join me tonight!
M: All right. You persuaded me.
英语笔记
1.在非正式口语中，-ing 常发生变音，读作/ɪn/，于是having 读作/'hævɪn/。
2.keep fit 意为“健身”。
3.persuade 为双音节动词，重读在后一个音节上，读作/pə'sweɪd/。
英语语音语调
双音节动词的重读
在英语中，双音节动词，尤其是以不发音的e结尾或词尾有连续出现的辅音字母的双音节动词，一般都在后面的音节上重读，而这些以不发音的e结尾的重读音节可以称为词尾开音节。如：
condemn /kən'dem/ v. 谴责
insult /ɪn'sʌlt/ v. 侮辱
salute /sə'lu:t/ v. 向……致敬
excuse /ɪk'skju:s/ v. 原谅
suppose /sə'pəʊz/ v. 猜想
describe /dɪ'skraɪb/ v. 描写
