Real Conversation #7: Family (Gabriel & Kevin)

Gabriel: How often do you go to the gym now?

Kevin: I go to the gym around three to four times a week.

Gabriel: Excellent, ok.

Kevin: Three to four times a week.

Gabriel: It's important to get your rest as well.

Kevin: Of course, it's important to get rest. It's just, that's an example. That's a positive habit and you can do a negative habit too, such as you can start...

Gabriel: Smoking. Kevin: Smoking, drinking a lot, you know, all of these things are quite easy to fall into the trap of, especially when you are young. Kevin: When you're young you think you are invincible.

Gabriel: Invincible. Yeah, that's true, and then you start smoking, you start drinking and you don't stop. You are right, I think that... that sounds like excellent advice and it makes me happy that, you know, that that's what you're telling them, that's what you're trying to teach them. Because, I think that, you know, sometimes like an older friend, or even an older brother or older cousin who actually in a way, although they care about their younger friends or cousins or brothers, they will introduce them to bad habits, they will tell them, “Hey, let's have a drink, or let's smoke, or let's do drugs or something” so... That's really cool that you have this.

Kevin: That's true, it did start with me, because when I was 14, with my oldest cousin, not in Poland but in Iran, he was around ten years older than I was at the time and that was when I had my first drink ever, at 14 with him. And I'm not obviously, a heavy drinker, but, that got me into drinking every now and then, which essentially even moderate drinking, it could have its bad health effects, but at the same time like, we are all about having some fun in life. I drink in moderation and thankfully I've maintained a healthy lifestyle so I won't fall into the trap of drinking excessively.

Gabriel: Excellent. That is very good. Yeah, you know, I'm much the same way, yesterday I had two glasses of red wine and, normally, I don't go much further than that because you know, like... I think that to enjoy the evening if you want to… even if you're with a friend or if you're on a date, or uh... even if you are at a party, if you have... you drink two bottles of wine you're not going to have as much control, you're not going to have as much fun.

Gabriel: How often do you go to the gym now? غابرييل: كم مرة تذهب إلى صالة الألعاب الرياضية الآن؟ Gabriel: Com que frequência vais ao ginásio agora?

Kevin: I go to the gym around three to four times a week. كيفن: أذهب إلى صالة الألعاب الرياضية حوالي ثلاث إلى أربع مرات في الأسبوع. Kevin: Vou ao ginásio cerca de três a quatro vezes por semana.

Gabriel: Excellent, ok. غابرييل: ممتاز، حسنًا.

Kevin: Three to four times a week. كيفن: ثلاث إلى أربع مرات في الأسبوع. Kevin: Três a quatro vezes por semana.

Gabriel: It’s important to get your rest as well. غابرييل: من المهم أن تأخذ قسطًا من الراحة أيضًا. Gabriel: Também é importante descansar.

Kevin: Of course, it’s important to get rest. كيفن: بالطبع ، من المهم أن تأخذ قسطًا من الراحة. Kevin: É claro que é importante descansar. It’s just, that’s an example. إنه مجرد مثال. É apenas um exemplo. That’s a positive habit and you can do a negative habit too, such as you can start... هذه عادة إيجابية ويمكنك القيام بعادة سلبية أيضًا ، مثل أن تبدأ ... Este é um hábito positivo e também se pode fazer um hábito negativo, por exemplo, começar...

Gabriel: Smoking. جبرائيل: تدخين. Gabriel: Fumar. Kevin: Smoking, drinking a lot, you know, all of these things are quite easy to fall into the trap of, especially when you are young. كيفن: التدخين ، شرب الكثير ، كما تعلمون ، كل هذه الأشياء من السهل جدًا الوقوع في فخ ، خاصة عندما تكون صغيرًا. Kevin: Fumar, beber muito, todas estas coisas são muito fáceis de cair na armadilha, especialmente quando se é jovem. Kevin: When you’re young you think you are invincible. كيفن: عندما تكون شابًا تعتقد أنك لا تقهر. ケビン:若いときは無敵だと思います。 Kevin: Quando se é jovem, pensa-se que se é invencível.

Gabriel: Invincible. غابرييل: لا يقهر. Gabriel: Invencível. Yeah, that’s true, and then you start smoking, you start drinking and you don’t stop. نعم ، هذا صحيح ، وبعد ذلك تبدأ بالتدخين ، تبدأ في الشرب ولا تتوقف. Sim, é verdade, e depois começa-se a fumar, a beber e não se pára. You are right, I think that... that sounds like excellent advice and it makes me happy that, you know, that that’s what you’re telling them, that’s what you’re trying to teach them. أنت على حق ، أعتقد أن ... هذا يبدو وكأنه نصيحة ممتازة ويجعلني سعيدًا ، كما تعلمون ، هذا ما تخبرهم به ، وهذا ما تحاول تعليمهم. あなたは正しいと思います...それは素晴らしいアドバイスのように聞こえます、そしてそれがあなたが彼らに話していること、それがあなたが彼らに教えようとしていることであることを知って嬉しく思います。 Tem razão, acho que... parece-me um excelente conselho e fico feliz por saber que é isso que lhes está a dizer, que é isso que lhes está a tentar ensinar. Because, I think that, you know, sometimes like an older friend, or even an older brother or older cousin who actually in a way, although they care about their younger friends or cousins or brothers, they will introduce them to bad habits, they will tell them, “Hey, let’s have a drink, or let’s smoke, or let’s do drugs or something” so... That’s really cool that you have this. لأنني أعتقد أنه في بعض الأحيان مثل صديق أكبر سنًا ، أو حتى أخ أكبر أو ابن عم أكبر ، والذي في الواقع بطريقة ما ، على الرغم من أنهم يهتمون بأصدقائهم الأصغر سنًا أو أبناء عمومتهم أو إخوانهم ، فإنهم سيعرّفونهم على العادات السيئة ، فهم سيقول لهم ، "مرحبًا ، لنشرب ، أو دعونا ندخن ، أو دعونا نتعاطى المخدرات أو شيء من هذا القبيل" لذا ... من الرائع حقًا أن يكون لديك هذا. というのも、あなたが知っていると思いますが、実際にはある年上の友人、あるいは兄や従兄弟のように、彼らは若い友人やいとこや兄弟を気にかけていても、悪い習慣を紹介するでしょう。 「ねえ、飲もうか、タバコを吸おうか、ドラッグか何かしようか」と彼らに告げるでしょう。 Porque penso que, por vezes, um amigo mais velho, ou mesmo um irmão mais velho ou um primo mais velho que, de certa forma, apesar de se preocuparem com os amigos mais novos, primos ou irmãos, lhes introduzem maus hábitos, dizem-lhes: "Vamos beber, vamos fumar, vamos consumir drogas ou assim". É muito fixe que tenham isto.

Kevin: That’s true, it did start with me, because when I was 14, with my oldest cousin, not in Poland but in Iran, he was around ten years older than I was at the time and that was when I had my first drink ever, at 14 with him. كيفن: هذا صحيح ، لقد بدأ الأمر معي ، لأنه عندما كان عمري 14 عامًا ، مع ابن عمي الأكبر ، ليس في بولندا ولكن في إيران ، كان أكبر بحوالي عشر سنوات مما كنت عليه في ذلك الوقت وكان ذلك عندما تناولت أول مشروب لي من أي وقت مضى ، في الرابعة عشرة من عمره معه. ケビン:それは本当です、私が最初だったのは、私が14歳のとき、ポーランドではなくイランで最年長のいとこと一緒だったからです。これまで、彼と一緒に14歳でした。 Kevin: É verdade, começou comigo, porque quando tinha 14 anos, com o meu primo mais velho, não na Polónia mas no Irão, ele era cerca de dez anos mais velho do que eu na altura e foi aí que bebi pela primeira vez, aos 14 anos, com ele. And I’m not obviously, a heavy drinker, but, that got me into drinking every now and then, which essentially even moderate drinking, it could have its bad health effects, but at the same time like, we are all about having some fun in life. وأنا لست من الواضح أنني شارب بكثرة ، ولكن هذا دفعني للشرب بين الحين والآخر ، والذي قد يكون له آثاره الصحية السيئة ، حتى لو كان معتدلاً في الشرب ، ولكن في نفس الوقت ، نحن جميعًا نتناول بعضًا المرح في الحياة. そして、私は明らかに大酒飲みではありませんが、それは私を時々飲ませるようになりました、それは本質的に中程度の飲酒でさえ、それは健康に悪影響を及ぼす可能性がありますが、同時に、私たちはすべて人生の楽しみ。 E não sou, obviamente, um grande bebedor, mas isso levou-me a beber de vez em quando, o que, essencialmente, mesmo o consumo moderado de álcool, pode ter os seus efeitos negativos para a saúde, mas, ao mesmo tempo, o que importa é divertirmo-nos na vida. I drink in moderation and thankfully I’ve maintained a healthy lifestyle so I won’t fall into the trap of drinking excessively. أنا أشرب الكحول باعتدال ولحسن الحظ لقد حافظت على نمط حياة صحي حتى لا أقع في فخ الإفراط في الشرب. Bebo com moderação e, felizmente, tenho mantido um estilo de vida saudável para não cair na armadilha de beber em excesso.

Gabriel: Excellent. جبرائيل: ممتاز. That is very good. Yeah, you know, I’m much the same way, yesterday I had two glasses of red wine and, normally, I don’t go much further than that because you know, like... I think that to enjoy the evening if you want to… even if you’re with a friend or if you’re on a date, or uh... even if you are at a party, if you have... you drink two bottles of wine you’re not going to have as much control, you’re not going to have as much fun. نعم ، كما تعلم ، أنا على نفس المنوال ، تناولت بالأمس كأسين من النبيذ الأحمر ، وفي العادة ، لا أذهب إلى أبعد من ذلك بكثير لأنك تعلم ، مثل ... أعتقد أنه للاستمتاع بالمساء إذا تريد ... حتى لو كنت مع صديق أو إذا كنت في موعد ، أو آه ... حتى لو كنت في حفلة ، إذا كان لديك ... تشرب زجاجتين من النبيذ ، فأنت لست كذلك سيكون لديك نفس القدر من التحكم ، فلن تحصل على نفس القدر من المرح. ええと、私はほとんど同じです。昨日は赤ワインを2杯飲んだのですが、通常、それ以上は進みません。あなたがしたいのは…あなたが友達と一緒だったり、デートをしていたり、パーティーにいても…あなたが持っていれば…あなたは2本のワインを飲みますできるだけ多くのコントロールができるようになると、それほど楽しいことはなくなります。 Ontem bebi dois copos de vinho tinto e, normalmente, não vou muito mais longe do que isso porque, sabe, como... Acho que para desfrutar da noite, se quisermos... mesmo que estejamos com um amigo ou num encontro, ou... mesmo que estejamos numa festa, se tivermos... se bebermos duas garrafas de vinho, não vamos ter tanto controlo, não nos vamos divertir tanto.
