1. 我們很少認識到我們的人格與鍛煉之間的關系，但它們卻是錯綜復雜地聯(lián)系在一起的。

We rarely see a connection between our personalities and exercise, and yet they are intricately tied. 

2. 人格是一個有待探索的極大的領域，但我們不妨把人格定義為我們是誰、我們是什么的一系列的特征和行為。

Personality is an extremely large area to explore, but we may define it as a series of traits or behaviors that define who and what we are. 

3. 我們常常以這些行為來概括個人的特點。我們會依據(jù)我們所觀察到的行為，稱某人為意志堅強的、忠誠的、專心的或固執(zhí)的等。

More often than not we characterize individuals by these behaviors. We may refer to some individuals as strong-willed, loyal, dedicated or stubborn, etc., based on behaviors we observe.

4. 例如，我們會認為美國前自行車運動員蘭斯?阿姆斯特朗性格堅強，因為盡管他身患癌癥，他仍然不屈不撓連續(xù)幾年奪得環(huán)法自行車賽冠軍。

For example, we think of Lance Armstrong, an American bicycle racer, as being strong-willed, for in spite of his cancer he unyieldingly won the Tour de France many times on end. 

5. 是堅強性格使這位癌癥生存者堅持鍛煉，還是鍛煉使他百折不回地同癌癥作斗爭呢？有不少人毫不躊躇地開始鍛煉，結(jié)果半途中堅持不下去了，這是不是他們的性格使然呢？

Is it the strong-willed personality that makes this survivor of cancer persistent in exercising or the exercise that helps him combat cancer with indomitable will? Quite many people started exercising without hesitation, but gave it up halfway. It is their personalities that are to blame?

6. 大量研究表明，鍛煉對我們生活的很多方面起到積極的作用。

A large body of research indicates that exercising contributes positively to many aspects of our lives.

7. 如果我們對自己的人格特征有所了解，那么就可選擇一些適合自身目標的經(jīng)常性鍛煉項目。這樣我們可以使鍛煉成為生活方式不可或缺的一部分，并且走得更遠。

If we know something about our own personalities, we can select some programs of regular exercise which fit our own goals. Thus we can go a long way in making exercise an integral part of our lifestyle.
