進入《中英對照讀新聞》Grunting carries no weight in this gym 低吼聲在健身房惹人嫌
◎俞智敏
Some gyms forbid hogging machines or wearing flip flops. At one gym, grunting is grounds for expulsion. Albert Argibay was escorted by police officers from a gym this week for grunting─which is against Planet Fitness' rules for maintaining a nonintimidating atmosphere.
有些健身房禁止會員霸佔健身器材或穿夾腳拖鞋。在其中一間健身房，健身時發出吼叫聲則是可被驅逐出場的理由。阿吉貝本週就因此在警察護送下離開健身房，因為他違反了「健身星球」健身房的規定，這項規定是為了維持健身房內的友善氣氛。
"Perhaps I grunted, perhaps I didn't. It's open to interpretation," said Argibay. He said he had his headset on when he was lifting 500 pounds on a squat machine at the gym.
「也許我有吼叫，也許沒有。這還有解釋空間，」阿吉貝說。他說，他在健身房裡一台蹲舉訓練機前，練習舉起500磅的重量時，頭上戴著耳機。
Planet Fitness markets itself as a place where anyone can feel comfortable in its "Judgment Free Zone." Its rules state members cannot wear bandanas, grunt or bang weights on the ground.
健身星球的行銷口號就是標榜可讓任何人在其「無評判空間」內感到舒適。該健身房規定，會員不可戴頭巾、發出吼叫聲或把法碼重重摔到地上。
Most clubs have policies regarding proper gym manners, although expulsions are rare. Grunting might be more taboo in gyms like Planet Fitness, which cater to exercise novices.
多數的健身俱樂部都訂有關於健身房適當禮儀的政策，不過嚴重到開除會員會籍倒很少見。在類似健身星球的健身房裡，低吼恐怕更會成為禁忌，因為這類健身房是以新手為主要客源。
The heaviest dumb bells at Planet Fitness are 80 pounds, meaning it's a place geared toward the general public.
健身星球最重的啞鈴只有80磅重，表示這裡比較適合一般大眾前來健身。
新聞辭典
carry weight（後常接with）：指對…極有影響力，carry no weight則指沒有影響力，如︰Her opinion carries a lot of weight with the boss.（老闆極重視她的意見。）標題中的carry no weight也是暗指文中提及舉重的雙關語。
hog：原指大型肉豬，亦可指貪婪自私的人，文中則作動詞，指貪心地攫取、霸佔等，如︰The guy hogged the whole park bench.（那個人佔住一整張公園長椅。）
expulsion：指驅逐、開除（常接from/of），如︰We soon heard of his expulsion from college.（我們很快就聽說他被大學開除的消息。）
