“No pain, no gain” is an old saying in English. It means that one has to suffer or work hard in order to succeed or make progress. 

“没有付出，就没有收获”是英语中的一句老话。它意味着一个人必须受苦或努力工作才能成功或取得进步。 

The expression is now often used to push people to train harder or exercise more to get good effects. 

现在这个词经常被用来督促人们更加努力地训练或者更多地锻炼以获得好的效果。 

But just how much pain do you have to have from weight training? The answer depends on what you are trying to gain, fitness experts say. 

但举重训练到底要承受多少痛苦呢？健身专家说，答案取决于你想要获得什么。 

For years, some trainers have told people that to get the best results, they need to train “until failure.” 

多年来，一些培训师告诉人们，为了获得最佳效果，他们需要训练“直到失败”。 

Training “until failure” means that you do an exercise until you cannot do one more repetition. Some recent studies, however, suggest training “until failure” with weights may only help some people. 

训练“直到失败”意味着你做一项练习直到你不能再重复一次为止。然而，最近的一些研究表明，“直到力竭”的举重训练可能只会对某些人有帮助。

“If somebody wants to increase muscle mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider,” said Michael Zourdos of Florida Atlantic University. 

“如果有人想尽可能增加肌肉质量，那么训练到力竭是值得考虑的事情，”佛罗里达大西洋大学的迈克尔·佐尔多斯说。 

Zourdos co-wrote a review of 55 research papers on the subject in the scientific publication Sports Medicine. 

Zourdos 在科学出版物《运动医学》上共同撰写了对 55 篇有关该主题的研究论文的评论。
