5 My Per-plex Machine

CHAPTER 5 MY PER-PLEX MACHINE The first exercise is for abs. What's an ab? It says, "Lie down." That's easy. I can do that. Then it says, "Sit up." I just lay down and got comfortable, why would I sit up?

第一个练习是针对腹肌的。 什么是ab？上面写着：“躺下。” 这很简单。我能做到。 然后它说：“坐起来。”我只是躺下来，感觉很舒服，为什么要坐起来？

I move on to the next section. It says, "Biceps." Do I have to buy something else? There's a picture of an arm. Okay, it says, "Put your Wimpflex around a door handle and pull." It's a silly way to open the door, but I'll try it. While I'm pulling, Mom opens the door, and my rubber band snaps. I go flying across the room. Well, so much for biceps. Maybe I won't need 'em for field day.

我继续下一节。 上面写着“二头肌”。我还需要买别的东西吗？ 有一张手臂的照片。 好吧，上面写着“把你的威普弗拉在门把手上然后拉” 这开门的方法很傻，但我要试试。 当我拉的时候，妈妈打开了门，我的橡皮筋啪的一声断了。 我飞过房间。 好了，二头肌到此为止。也许我在野外训练时不需要它们。

The next exercise is for pecs, and the one after that is for thighs. I think this is a body- building system for chickens. I want my money back. I phone the number on the booklet. A man answers. I tell him that I'm not satisfied. He says that my Wimpflex is

下一个是胸大肌，再下一个是大腿。 我认为这是鸡的健身系统。 我想要回我的钱。我按小册子上的号码打。 一个男人回答。我告诉他我不满意。 他说我的Wimpflex是

guaranteed to give me muscles. Then he asks if I'm holding up the phone. HELLO. I say, "Yes." He says that if I'm holding the phone, I have muscles, and then I hear a click. I look at my $9.97 rubber band and start to feel sad. I just got conned! CLICK!

保证给我肌肉。 然后他问我是不是拿着电话。 你好。我说：“是的。”他说如果我拿着手机，我有肌肉，然后我听到咔哒一声。 我看着我的。97橡皮筋，开始感到难过。 我被骗了！点击!
