因為疫情的影響，很多傳統的線下行業都停擺了，比如~健身館。
我身邊就有一哥們兒以前沒事兒天天兒泡在健身館，雖然沒見他身材練得有多壯，但姑娘他可是真認識了不少......
這不，昨天聽說他又迷上了一種新的健身方式~瑜伽，雖然去不了現場，但跟隨著瑜伽館最新推出的“線上瑜伽”視頻直播也是練得不亦樂乎~！
得嘞，今兒個，咱們就一起聽一段兒跟“男生為什麼練瑜伽”有關的對話吧~
男生為什麼練瑜伽？
練習瑜伽.mp31:12
來自穿梭英語Transpeak
Victor: Humph!
Victor: 哼!~
Rosaria: What's the matter?
Rosaria: 出什麼事了?
Victor: I just got back from my first yoga class and I was sorely disappointed.
Victor: 我剛上完第一堂瑜伽課回來，感覺大失所望啊~
Rosaria: I've heard that yoga is very good low-impact exercise and helps with stress relief. It's supposed to calm the mind and strengthen the body.
Rosaria: 我聽說瑜伽是一種很好的低強度運動，並且有助於緩解壓力。據說它能使人寧心靜氣，強健身體。
Victor: Yeah, right.
Victor: 是啊,沒錯。
Rosaria: It sounds like you had a bad experience. Did you have a bad teacher?
Rosaria: 不過聽你的口氣可過的不咋樣啊。遇上個不好的老師嗎?
Victor: The teacher was fine. I learned about mantras and chakras, I learned breathing techniques, and I tried a few basic poses.
Victor: 老師挺好的。我學習了冥想和氣輪，學會了呼吸技巧，還嘗試了一些基本的姿勢。
Rosaria: That all sounds right from my own experience, such as it is. But, there are a lot of different types of yoga. Maybe you need to try a different kind.
Rosaria: 從我自己的經驗來看，這一切聽起來都是對的，就是這麼回事兒。但是，瑜伽有很多不同的類型。也許你需要試試另一種截然不同的。
Victor: The problem wasn't the kind of yoga being practiced. It was the class.
Victor: 問題不在於練習的是哪種瑜伽。而是這堂課。
Rosaria: Were the mats uncomfortable?
Rosaria: 是墊子不舒服嗎?
Victor: No.
Victor: 不是的呢。
Rosaria: Was it too cramped?
Rosaria: 那是不是太擠了?
Victor: No.
Victor: 也不是呢。
Rosaria: Then what was the problem?
Rosaria: 那到底是什麼問題呢?
Victor: There was too much testosterone in the room.
Victor: 是房間裡有太多的雄性激素（男性味道）啦。
Rosaria: You mean you were in a class with just men?
Rosaria: 你是說你在一個只有男人的班裡?
Victor:Yeah.
Victor: 沒錯。
Rosaria: And that was a problem?
Rosaria: 這是個問題嗎?
Victor: Do you think I would be taking a yoga class if I weren't trying to meet women?!
Victor: 如果我不是為了認識個姑娘，你覺得我會去上那瑜伽課嗎?
