Physio Appointment: I Hurt My Back at the Gym

Hi, come on in. Take it slowly.

你好，请进。慢慢来。

Ow... thanks. Sorry, I'm moving like a grandma today.

哎哟……谢谢。不好意思，我今天走路像个老奶奶。

Ha, don't worry. So, what happened?

哈，别担心。那么，发生了什么事？

I was lifting weights at the gym on Saturday.

我周六在健身房举重。

I tried a heavier weight than usual,

我试了比平时更重的重量，

and suddenly I felt a sharp pain right here.

突然这里一阵剧痛。

I see. Does the pain go down your legs?

明白了。疼痛会往腿上走吗？

No, it just stays in my lower back.

不会，只在腰下面。

Good, that's a positive sign.

好，这是个好迹象。

Okay, tell me if this hurts.

好，疼的话告诉我。

Ouch! Yes, that's the spot!

哎哟！对，就是那儿！

It's a muscle strain. Nothing is broken.

是肌肉拉伤。没有骨折。

Phew! So when can I go back to the gym?

呼！那我什么时候能回健身房？

Well... no heavy lifting for two weeks.

嗯……两周内不能举重物。

Two weeks? But I've got a competition next month!

两周？可我下个月有比赛！

If you lift too soon, it could get much worse.

如果太早举，可能会严重得多。

Then you'd miss the competition completely.

那你就彻底错过比赛了。

Hmm, okay. You're right, I guess.

嗯，好吧。我想你说得对。

But here's the good news. You can still swim and walk.

不过有个好消息，你还可以游泳和散步。

And do these stretches every morning.

还有每天早上做这些拉伸。

Oh, that feels better already!

哦，已经感觉好多了！

Okay, I promise. No weights for two weeks.

好，我保证。两周不碰重量。

Great. And next time, ask a trainer for help!

很好。下次记得找教练帮忙！

Ha, lesson learned! Thanks, see you next week.

哈，长教训了！谢谢，下周见。
