沙发土豆5大荒谬的懒惰借口

2. “I Hate Exercise”
我讨厌运动

When I was a teen, I was convinced that I hated exercise. I was overweight and pretty uncoordinated. I dreaded gym class at school because I got bullied by my classmates.
在我十几岁时，我认为自己讨厌运动。那时候我身材肥胖又不协调。我害怕在学校上体育课，因为同学总是欺负我。

Maybe you’ve had similar experiences – and maybe you associate exercise with being unhappy and uncomfortable.
也许你也有过类似的经历——这让你一想到运动，就联想起那些令你沮丧难过的经历。

It really doesn’t have to be that way. There are hundreds of different types of exercise: you certainly don’t have to jog around a school field or fail to climb up a rope. How about:
这真的没有必要。可供选择的运动类型有数百种之多：你不一定非要去学校操场慢跑或练习你不擅长的爬绳。何不试试以下建议：

Housework – you can burn calories by vacuuming, cleaning, even ironing.
家务——吸尘，清洗，甚至熨烫衣服，都是燃烧热量的好方法。

Walking – a leisurely walk in the countryside can be very relaxing.
散步——悠闲的乡间散步能够放松身心。

Swimming – if you hate getting sweaty, then exercising in a pool is great.
游泳——如果你不喜欢满身大汗的感觉，可以在泳池里享受运动乐趣！

Fun! I’ve surprised myself by enjoying activities like trampolining and fencing.
真有趣！我现在很喜欢蹦床和击剑这样的运动，这让我自己都感到惊讶。

You’ll probably find that there are certain sorts of exercise that you hate. But saying “I hate exercise” is just as silly and childish as saying “I hate vegetables.”
你可能会讨厌某些运动项目，但“我讨厌运动”的说法，就跟小孩子说“我讨厌蔬菜”一样，是愚蠢又幼稚的。
