Clerk: Welcome, young man. No offence, but I haven't seen you here before.

Daniel: Of course, this is my first time here. My Mom has a membership here. Here is the card.

Clerk: Okay then. You are the younger customer here ever.

Daniel: It's not so wise that you do not explore the children's market.

Clerk: It's the marketing's fault, I do you want to do?

Daniel: Well, I want to become just like Bruce Lee. What should I do?

Clerk: That's a long way to go, I'm afraid. First of all, you gotta grow up.

Daniel: I am still young. And I'm growing every minute.

Clerk: Sure. Then what about trying the treadmill or the skipping rope.

Daniel: I love running. Anything else?

Clerk: Please change your clothes first!

Daniel: I'm perfect with my clothes. And I do not have anything else with me.

Clerk: Sorry, but no jeans here.

Daniel: Oh, that's the only place where jeans are not popular. I'd better just go home.

職員：歡迎光臨，年輕人。沒有冒犯的意思，但是我好像以前沒有見過你。

丹尼爾：當然了，這是我第一次來。我媽媽是這裏的會員。這是她的會員卡。

職員：那好吧。你是我們最年輕的顧客。

丹尼爾：你們不開發兒童市場，這樣做非常不明智。

職員：我想這應該是市場部的錯誤。你想做點什麼（運動）呢？

丹尼爾：嗯，我想成爲李小龍，我該怎麼做呢？

職員：恐怕那有一段很長的路哦！首先，你得先長大。

丹尼爾：我還年輕。而且我每一分鐘都在長啊！

職員：當然。那麼要不要試試跑步機或者是跳繩？

丹尼爾：我喜歡跑步。還有別的嗎？

職員：請先換衣服吧！

丹尼爾：我穿這個就可以了。而且我身邊也沒有帶別的衣服。

職員：對不起，但是這裏不允許穿牛仔褲（運動）。

丹尼爾：哦，這是唯一一個不流行牛仔褲的地方！我最好還是回家算了。
