Steve: I'm really amazed by some of the things that are called Olympic sports.

Todd: Like synchronized swimming?

Steve: Exactly! I mean, it's pretty and all, but is doing ballet upside-down in a pool a sport?

Todd: I couldn't agree more.

Steve: It's a sport for wussies.

Todd: Oh! I almost strained a muscle getting off the table. Let's stretch a bit in the steam room.

託德：我十分同意。

史提：那是給軟腳蝦做的運動。

託德：喔！我下桌子的時候差點扭到肌肉。我們去蒸汽室舒展一下。
