A: Yesterday my landlady seemed surprised when I told her I went for a walk every day. I think she didn't believe me.
B: Oh, she probably believed you, but people don't do much walking anymore for pleasure, or even for exercise. Almost everyone has a car nowadays.
A: I've noticed that no one I meet ever appears to be walking just for walking's sake. Perhaps I'd better stop doing it.
B: No, I wouldn't stop. It's supposed to be good exercise, and there are a few walkers left. Probably more people would take walks if we valued exercise more and time less.
Notes
Landlady 女房东
Value 认为…是重要的
A：昨天我对我的女房东说，每天我都出外散步。看来她感到很惊奇。大概她不相信我的话。
B：哦，她也许相信你的话，不过人们很少为了消遣或锻炼身体而再去散步了。现在差不多每个人都有汽车。
A：我发现我所遇到的人中好像没有人是纯粹出来散步的。或许我也最好停止散步。
B：不，我不会停止。这应该是一种很好的锻炼，而且仍然有一些人在散步。如果我们更加重视锻炼而不吝惜时间，可能有更多的人去散步。
太急燥了，要平心静气
