Stay healthy and sound sophisticated at the same time by asking for one of those fancy carbonated spring waters with a name that you can't possibly pronounce unless you’re strictly⁴ sober.

　　如果你对减肥一事是认真的，就戒酒吧!在社交场合，可改喝低糖汽水或加了一点柠檬的苏打水。你可以要求人家给你一罐很炫的碳酸矿泉水，也就是那种你只有在脑袋极为清醒时才能念出正确发音的厂牌饮料。这种作法既可使你保持健康，讲话又得体。
