lh: larry，加油，就剩500米了！冲刺冲刺！
　　larry: (out of breath) how...did...i do?
　　lh: 成绩不错，但还是没进15分钟。
　　larry: (still a bit out of breath) let me see that watch...hey, this isn't above 15 minutes...this is 15 minutes on the dot!
　　lh: dot? 点点？这个秒表是新的，上面什么都没有啊！
　　larry: no, no. the watch is fine. i'm talking about the time. look...it says 15:00. exactly fifteen minutes...fifteen minutes on the dot.
　　lh: 哦，on the dot就是“正好”的意思。你是说，你刚才的成绩是正好15分钟。可是larry，我的意思是，你还是没有冲破15分这个关口。这样你下个月参加比赛时，名次是不会理想的！
　　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？距离比赛还有整整一个月，30 days on the dot!
　　larry: well, at least i'm making progress...fifteen minutes is my best time so far. i think i'm done running for today.
　　lh: 好吧，那今天就练到这儿吧。天儿也够热的，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: 不过回家前，你还得做30个仰卧起坐。
　　larry: you sure are a strict coach...how do you know so much about training?
　　lh: （得意地）我高中是田径队的，教练特严格，我都是跟他学的！严师出高徒嘛！
　　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: 双人跑？我也参加？那可不行，我整整10年没跑步了！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: 什么，taste of my own medicine? 我的药的味道？
　　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。你是说，这几天我逼你练得那么辛苦，现在你也要让我尝尝同样的滋味。
　　larry: right! let's start early tomorrow...be here at 7 am on the dot. i can't wait to give you a taste of your own medicine!
