Perfect Posture  正確的坐姿

Rose is seeing a doctor about a physical problem.

R: Rose　　D: Doctor

R: Hello, Doc. My back is killing me.

D: Do you work in an office, or spend a lot of time at a desk?

R: Yes. I’m the vice president of a design company, so I’m usually at my desk at least 10 hours a day.

D: It’s all about your posture when you’re sitting. I have some tips that can help.

R: OK. I’m all ears.

D: First, your chair is not a couch, so don’t lean back like you are on one.

R: I do that sometimes. I didn’t know that was bad for me.

D: The most important thing is to make sure that you get up and walk around at least once an hour. You can go get some water, use the restroom, or walk up and down the stairs.

貝蘿絲身體不舒服去看醫生，正在告訴醫生自己的症狀。

蘿　絲： 您好，醫師，我的背痛死了。
醫　生： 妳在辦公室上班嗎？妳是不是花很多時間坐辦公桌？
蘿　絲： 是啊，我是一家設計公司的副總裁。通常我一天坐辦公桌至少十個小時。
醫　生： 這和妳的坐姿有關。我會給妳一些有用的建議。
蘿　絲： 好的。我洗耳恭聽。
醫　生： 首先，妳的椅子不是沙發，所以別像躺在沙發上一樣靠。
蘿　絲： 我有時候會這麼做。我不知道那樣做對我不好。
醫　生： 最重要的是，確定至少每個小時起來走一走。妳可以去裝個水，上上廁所，或上下樓梯。
