LH: Larry，加油，就剩500米了！衝刺衝刺！
Larry: (Out of breath) ...I do?
LH: 成績不錯，但還是沒進15分鐘。
Larry: (Still a bit out of breath) Let me see that , this isn’t above 15 is 15 minutes on the dot!
LH: Dot? 點點？這個秒錶是新的，上面什麼都沒有啊！
Larry: No, no. The watch is fine. I’m talking about the time. says 15:00. Exactly fifteen een minutes on the dot.
LH: 哦，on the dot就是“正好”的意思。你是說，你剛纔的成績是正好15分鐘。可是Larry，我的意思是，你還是沒有衝破15分這個關口。這樣你下個月參加比賽時，名次是不會理想的！
Larry: I know, I know... wait a minute. Next month? I thought I had way more time to prepare than that!
LH: 啊？你忘啦？距離比賽還有整整一個月，30 days on the dot!
Larry: Well, at least I’m making een minutes is my best time so far. I think I’m done running for today.
LH: 好吧，那今天就練到這兒吧。天兒也夠熱的，今天是35 degrees on the dot，35度呢！
Larry: Well, when you’re running, it feels more like 40 degrees on the dot!
LH: 不過回家前，你還得做30個仰臥起坐。
Larry: You sure are a strict do you know so much about training?
LH: （得意地）我高中是田徑隊的，教練特嚴格，我都是跟他學的`！嚴師出高徒嘛！
Larry: Oh really?? (pauses for a moment as if hatching a plan) You know, Li Hua, there’s a couple’s race as well on race day. I think you and I should be a team!
LH: 雙人跑？我也參加？那可不行，我整整10年沒跑步了！10 years on the dot!
Larry: Hey, you’ve been making me run all over this track for the past week; I think it’s only fair that you got to taste of your own medicine.
LH: 什麼，taste of my own medicine? 我的藥的味道？
Larry: Actually, you’ve been working me so hard, but now it’s time for you to go through the same ordeal that you had put me through. In other words, you’re getting a taste of your own medicine.
LH: 我明白了，get a taste of my own medicine就是自食苦果。你是說，這幾天我逼你練得那麼辛苦，現在你也要讓我嚐嚐同樣的滋味。
Larry: Right! Let’s start early here at 7 am on the dot. I can’t wait to give you a taste of your own medicine!
