1. 我们很少认识到我们的人格与锻炼之间的关系，但它们却是错综复杂地联系在一起的。
We rarely see a connection between our personalities and exercise, and yet they are intricately tied.
2. 人格是一个有待探索的极大的领域，但我们不妨把人格定义为我们是谁、我们是什么的一系列的特征和行为。
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. 我们常常以这些行为来概括个人的特点。我们会依据我们所观察到的行为，称某人为意志坚强的、忠诚的、专心的或固执的等。
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，我们会认为美国前自行车运动员兰斯•阿姆斯特朗性格坚强，因为尽管他身患癌症，他仍然不屈不挠连续几年夺得环法自行车赛冠军。
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. 是坚强性格使这位癌症生存者坚持锻炼，还是锻炼使他百折不回地同癌症作斗争呢？有不少人毫不踌躇地开始锻炼，结果半途中坚持不下去了，这是不是他们的性格使然呢？
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，锻炼对我们生活的很多方面起到积极的作用。
A large body of research indicates that exercising contributes positively to many aspects of our lives.
7. 如果我们对自己的人格特征有所了解，那么就可选择一些适合自身目标的经常性锻炼项目。这样我们可以使锻炼成为生活方式不可或缺的一部分，并且走得更远。
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.
