而且許多人都藉著運動來舒緩生活中的壓力，找回對自己生活的主控權。運動真的是好處多多！

動詞片語 work out 除了「做運動」的意思外，解決問題時也常用work out。

例如：We can work out the problem. (我們可以解決這個問題。)

今天我們來分享一個學生的作文，看看他的運動習慣好不好，更要開口大聲朗誦喔！

I exercise about once a week. I know I should work out more regularly but I never seem to find the time. When I was in university, there was always someone looking for a game. We could get enough guys for two teams pretty quickly. Then, we would be off to the gym to play basketball, or indoor soccer, or something. It was a lot of fun! These days when I work out I usually go to a quiet gym and lift weights. I know it’s good for me to pump iron, but it’s really boring sometimes. Maybe I should check out what kinds of intramural leagues are available and try to hook up with a futsal team. I would really like regular exercise to be part of my week.

We lucked out with the joint venture with Disney.

一看到 luck 跟 out，你可能就會在腦中組合出「好運」＋「出局」的意思，所以會以為這句話是說「我們很不幸沒有取得跟迪士尼的合作。」

事實上，luck out 的意思卻是「運氣好」，所以這句話的意思應該是：

「我們運氣很好取得跟迪士尼合作。」

像這樣的用法在美國人的對話中經常出現，尤其在商務場合中，職場人士如果因為聽不懂、看不懂、答非所問，不但會導致自己的專業能力被質疑，甚至可能錯失升遷的機會。所以當我們已具備了基礎的商務英文能力後，如何將聽、說、讀、寫升級為更「道地」的英文，便是進階過程的重要關鍵！
