Alice: It's been three weeks since you started exercising.
앨리스: 당신 운동 시작한지 3주 됐네.

Charlie: Yes I know.
찰리: 그러게 말야.

Alice: How much weight have you lost?
앨리스: 얼마나 살이 빠졌어?

Charlie: I dropped five pounds.
찰리: 5파운드 빠졌어.

Alice: Really? That's fantastic!
앨리스: 정말? 굉장하네!

Charlie: And I have more energy.
찰리: 그리고 더 힘도 나.

Alice: Keep up the good work.
앨리스: 계속 열심히 해.

Charlie: And you? How much weight have you lost?
찰리: 당신은? 당신은 얼마나 체중이 줄었어?

Alice: I took off three pounds.
앨리스: 3파운드 빠졌지.

Charlie: That's great!

Alice: And I love that we're doing this together.
앨리스: 그리고 같이 한다는 게 정말 좋아.

Charlie: So do I.
찰리: 나도.

Alice: When I lose more weight I want to go on a shopping spree and buy new clothes.
