实战口语情景对话 第388期:Food and Health 食物和健康

 　　Adrienne: So, Mike, you don't eat fast food, huh?

　　埃德里安娜：迈克，你不吃快餐，对吧？

　　Mike: No, no. I find fast food not very healthy and I try to eat healthy and try to live a healthy kind of lifestyle.

　　迈克：不吃，我不吃。我认为快餐非常不健康，我尽量吃得更健康，尽量以健康的生活方式生活。

　　Adrienne: How do you do that?

　　埃德里安娜：你是怎么做的？

　　Mike: Well, I'm going to the gym, not smoking¹, just generally trying not to do too much bad stuff² for your body I guess, you know like over doing things.

　　迈克：嗯，我去健身房，不抽烟，一般不做太多对身体有害的事情，你知道像过度做一些事情之类的。

　　Adrienne: What kind of things do you think are bad for your body?

　　埃德里安娜：你认为哪类事情是对身体有害的？

　　Mike: Stress, probably the worst thing is stress, but of course I think anything you do to much of, like you know, for example, if you, if you're somebody who smokes then smoking too much is probably a bad thing, although of course smoking I think is not good at all, but anyways, or, like if some people, if you want to go out for drinks then drinking too much is probably a bad thing, or eating too much is a bad thing so, so everything I think in balance is the healthiest thing.

　　迈克：压力，压力可能是对身体最有害的，当然我认为任何事做过了都不好，比如，如果你抽烟抽得很厉害，那就是件坏事，而且我认为抽烟一点好处都没有，当然，如果有些人喝酒喝得很凶，那也是不好的事，还有吃太多东西也是坏事，所以我认为不管什么事，保持平衡是最健康的方式。

　　Adrienne: Moderation is the key!

　　埃德里安娜：关键就是要适度！

　　Mike: That's the word.

　　迈克：没错，就是这个。

　　Adrienne: So what kind of things do you do to stay healthy?

　　埃德里安娜：那你做什么来保持健康呢？

　　Mike: Um, well, wake up, I mean wake up early, go for a run or go to the gym in the morning, everyday, and then just try to eat a balanced diet, not eat a lot of, like you said at the beginning, like fast food and stuff I stay away from in general, and not try to over do it with, try not to get too stressed³ out about things at work, and also try not to party too much.

　　迈克：嗯，早起，每天早上去跑步或是去健身，饮食要均衡，像你刚开始说的垃圾食品，就不要吃太多，通常这都是我不吃的食物，同时做事不要做得太过，工作中不要有太多的压力，尽量不要参加太多派对。

　　Adrienne: Do you have any fast food that you like to eat just once in awhile, just as a special treat?

　　埃德里安娜：你偶尔会不会吃一次快餐，就像特别待遇一样？

　　Mike: Um, yeah, sure! I mean I love chocolate, so you know, for sure. I've lived in Belgium for several months and I got used to really, really good Belgium chocolate.

　　迈克：啊，当然会了！我是说我喜欢巧克力，你知道，这是肯定的。我在比利时住了几个月，那时我喜欢吃美味的比利时巧克力。

　　Adrienne: Very good chocolate there!

　　埃德里安娜：那里的巧克力非常不错！

　　Mike: Absolultely, so yeah! It's kind of, if I do occasionally⁴ I'll have a little bit of Belgium chocolate.

　　迈克：绝对是的！我偶尔会吃一点比利时巧克力。
