F:What do you think about all the different diets that people go on?

F:對于人們進行各種各樣的節(jié)食你怎么看?

M:I don't think dieting is good for you.It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with!

M:我覺得節(jié)食對你不好。飲食最好要均衡，而且從小就得注意不要發(fā)胖。

F:But what do you think about people who are obese? What should they do to lose weight?

F:但是那些已經(jīng)肥胖的人該怎么辦呢?他們應(yīng)該怎么減肥。

M:They need to eat healthy foods，but they also have to increase the amount of physical exercise every day. They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogeth-er，though.

M:他們要吃健康食品，不過還得同時增加每天的運動量。而且，不能一下子就把所有會使人肥胖的食物都停掉不吃。

F:So you think it's OK for people who are dieting to eat chocolate，don't you?

F:那么你覺得正在節(jié)食的人吃些巧克力也是可以的?

M:Sure，they can eat some chocolate.As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods，there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert.

M:當(dāng)然，他們可以吃些巧克力。只要他們堅持鍛煉，而且攝入的主要都是健康食品，那么吃點兒甜食也不礙事。

F:How about drinking soda?

F:那喝汽水呢?

M:Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda. Soda should be treated seriously;there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever.

M:很多人體重增加都是因為喝了太多的汽水。汽水的問題應(yīng)該認真對待，無論如何，那里面一丁點兒營養(yǎng)價值都沒有。
