American sports English:healthy eating
P:Yang Chen, have you lost any weight since you started your weight loss plan 2 months ago?
Y:Yeah. 2 pounds. 我已经瘦了两磅了。
P:2 pounds in 2 months. Mmmm, let's not celebrate yet.
Y:Why not?
P:Because .......Now tell me what you do to lose weight.
Y:走路。
P:By shopping?
Y:Well, sort of.
P:What else do you do?
Y:举重。
P:lift weights.
Y:跑步机上跑步。
P:running on a treadmill。 Not bad. Well tell me about your diet.
Y:Diet? I'm not on a diet, Patrick. 我从来不节食。
P:When I say ‘diet’ D-I-E-T- I don't mean 节食, to go on a diet, I mean what are the foods that you eat?
Y:三顿饭,加一顿夜宵。
P:夜宵? Late night snack? Ah, I see! When it's late at night, your metabolism M-E-T-A-B-O-L-I-S-M slows down, making it easier for your body to gain weight.
Y:晚上新陈代谢慢。
P:Exactly. So you shouldn't eat late night snack. And when you get older, your metabolism slows down too.
Y:人年龄大了,新陈代谢也会慢下来。Why are you telling me this? Are you implying...
P:Don't be sensitive. I'm not saying you are old. I just want to tell you a key to losing weight is speeding up your metabolism by eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.
Y:OK. Speeding up metabolism 加速新陈代谢,就要多餐少吃。。。
P:Right. Eating smaller meals more frequently.
Y:That is such a pain!
P:Well, if you really want to reach your goal of losing weight, you will have to do this.
Y:OK. 还有什么,Patrick老师?
P:You also need to watch how many calories C-A-L-O-R-I-E-S you eat each day. Try not to exceed 2000 calories!
Y:Hey count my calories? 数卡路里, No way. Too much trouble.
P:You are full of excuses today! Actually it's very easy to count how many calories you eat in one day! Let me tell you how.
Y:Not interested. 我记得你刚才说要多餐少吃。
P:There you go!
Y:Now Let's go to McDonald's!
P:No way. It's not healthy.
Y:My treat!
P:Oh, in that case......let's go!
A:Oh, late night snacks─my favorite meal of the day!
B:I know. 中国有很多好吃的宵夜,我在中国时也管不住自己的嘴,although I'm usually a healthy eater.
A:那你最爱吃哪种宵夜?牛肉面?馄饨?海鲜粥?
B:杨琳,Stop that! 我要流口水了!
A:不如今天晚上我们去吃宵夜麻辣火锅吧!
B:好吧,No healthy eating for today!
A:Super! 好了,今天的节目时间差不多了。这次的撰稿人是晓北,编辑是蔚然。同学们,我们下次的美语训练班再见!
