美語情景對話 第8期:減肥 Losing Weight
Todd: OK, Devon, I've been putting on a few pounds and you.#39;re quite a lean fit guy.
好的，戴文。我最近長了幾斤，而你看上去苗條又健康。Devon: Well, thank you.
謝謝。Todd: What do you recommend? What can I do to lose weight?
你的建議是什麼？我怎樣才能減肥呢？
Devon: Well, I exercise a lot. I go running at least three times a week. But more than that I enjoy playing sports and so different sports use different muscles and all of it helps to lose that weight that you might have gained.
我經常運動。我一週至少跑步三次。除了這點我還喜歡其他運動，不同的運動會鍛鍊不同的肌肉，這些運動都會幫助你減掉多餘的重量。Todd: Yeah, well, actually, one of the problems is that I actually exercise a lot.
好的，問題是，實際上我經常運動。Devon: Do ya?
真的嗎？Todd: Yeah, so maybe it's my diet.
是的，也許是我的食譜有問題。Devon: It could be and so in that case you might want to eat something perhaps more nutritious or maybe even less of what you do eat. Maybe, I eat three meals a day and I try not to snack in between. No potato chips. No popcorn. No candy bars.
有可能，如果是這樣，你應該吃些高蛋白的食物，並減少食物攝取的總量。我每天吃三頓飯，並且努力在餐食間拒絕零食。不吃薯條，爆米花，也不吃糖果。Todd: That's pretty tough!
這很難做到！Devon: It is tough , I must admit that I cheat every once in awhile but...
確實很難，但我必須承認我也許騙得了一時，但……Todd: Ok, I'll give it a actually, you see my problem is that I like junk food. So I have to choose: either I eat less or I eat a better diet. What do you think is more important?
好的，我會努力嘗試的……但實際上，我的問題是我喜歡垃圾食品。所以我必須選擇：是吃少點兒，還是吃得更好點兒。你認爲哪條更重要？Devon: I think that if you are exercizing then you should just eat what you want and eat less.
我認爲如果你最近在運動，那麼最好吃想吃的食物，但是要減少量。Todd: Eat less. OK. This is going to be tough!
少吃點兒。好的，這會很有難度！Devon: Well, I have no doubt that you will do the best that you can.
我毫不懷疑你會做到最好。Todd: Alright! Thanks a lot Devon.
好的，謝謝你，戴文。注：譯文屬原創，未經允許，請勿轉載。
