Devon: Well, thank you. 谢谢。

Todd: What do you recommend? What can I do to lose weight? 你的建议是什么？我怎样才能减肥呢？

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. 我经常运动。我一周至少跑步三次。除了这点我还喜欢其他运动，不同的运动会锻炼不同的肌肉，这些运动都会帮助你减掉多余的重量。

Todd: Yeah, well, actually, one of the problems is that I actually exercise a lot. 好的，问题是，实际上我经常运动。

Devon: Do ya? 真的吗？

Todd: Yeah, so maybe it's my diet. 是的，也许是我的食谱有问题。

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，如果是这样，你应该吃些高蛋白的食物，并减少食物摄取的总量。我每天吃三顿饭，并且努力在餐食间拒绝零食。不吃薯条，爆米花，也不吃糖果。

Todd: That's pretty tough! 这很难做到！

Devon: It is tough but......Well, I must admit that I cheat every once in awhile but... 确实很难，但我必须承认我也许骗得了一时，但……

Todd: Ok, I'll give it a try....but 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，我会努力尝试的……但实际上，我的问题是我喜欢垃圾食品。所以我必须选择：是吃少点儿，还是吃得更好点儿。你认为哪条更重要？

Devon: I think that if you are exercizing then you should just eat what you want and eat less. 我认为如果你最近在运动，那么最好吃想吃的食物，但是要减少量。

Todd: Eat less. OK. This is going to be tough! 少吃点儿。好的，这会很有难度！

Devon: Well, I have no dought that you will do the best that you can. 我毫不怀疑你会做到最好。

Todd: Alright! Thanks a lot Devon. 好的，谢谢你，戴文。
