Dear Amy

亲爱的埃米，

My computer was broken so I couldn't read your two e-mails until today.

我的电脑坏了，直到今天才读了你的两封电子邮件。

I'm so sorry to hear about your problems, but I'm glad you're feeling better and are recovering.

听到你的事我很难过，但你感觉好多了，而且正在康复，我很高兴。

You're right. We shouldn't be embarrassed about our weight.

你说的对。我们不应该为我们的体重感到不好意思。

I think you look great as you are, and you're a wonderful person.

我觉得你目前这个样子就很棒，你是一个非常好的人。

I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress.

我知道保持苗条体态的压力是个问题，尤其是对于一名演员来说。

However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.

但是，你妈妈的观点是最正确的：健康比任何东西都重要。

It's the same in China—

在中国情况也一样—

many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous.

许多人，包括有些根本就不超重的人，总是在节食，或是吃减肥药，这些做法往往是危险的。

I hope they can learn from your story.

我希望他们能吸取你的教训。

Love

爱你的
