monica: you think so? i’ve been coming to the gym every day for the past three months!

rachael: really? your hard work has certainly paid off! how much have you lost exactly?

rachael：真的喔？你的努力真的有了回报！你到底瘦了多少啊？

rachael: well, it has made a hell of a difference to you! your stomach looks incredible and your thighs are so slim! and is it me or is your skin glowing, too?

rachael：五公斤让妳看起来狠不一样耶！妳的腹部看起来超美，妳的大腿超级苗条！还有，是我错觉还是妳的肌肤真的超有光泽？

monica：谢啦。你身材看起来也狠不错。我看得出来妳也练出了一些线条！

monica: that’s no good. you know what? we should be gym buddies!
