范文

　　Jerry worked for a construction company building houses day after day. Business was so good that he often worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week. The problem was that working so much made every muscle in his body ache. Jerry wanted to treat himself to something special for working so hard, so he decided to get a massage.

　　The masseur asked Jerry if he wanted a strong massage, and Jerry said he did. However, the massage was so intense that he screamed out in pain many times. Jerry thought about telling the masseur to be gentler, but he didn't want to seem weak. After an hour of agony, Jerry went home with a limp.

　　The next morning, as Jerry tried to get out of bed, he felt a sharp pain in his back. With great effort, Jerry got up, but he couldn't stand up straight at all. Due to his back pain, Jerry had to take a week off work and get massage therapy each day by a trained professional.

 

　　杰瑞任职于某建筑公司，日以继夜地盖房子。公司生意很好，使他常常一周七天都得工作十二小时之久。他的问题是，太多工作使他全身肌肉疼痛。杰瑞想要来点特别的，以犒赏自己这么辛苦地工作，于是他决定去按摩。

　　按摩师询问杰瑞是否想要力道强一点，而他说他需要。然而，按摩的力道太强使得杰瑞好几次痛得叫了出来。杰瑞想过请按摩师按轻一点，但他又不想让自己看起来太不中用。经过了极度痛苦的一小时后，杰瑞一跛一跛地走回家。

　　隔天早上杰瑞试图下床时，他感到背上一阵剧痛。他费了好大的功夫才从床上爬起，但他完全站不直。由于背部很疼痛，他不得不请了一星期的病假，还要每天接受专业的按摩疗程。
