Conversation:
A: I've been putting on a few pounds these days. Have you got any suggestions on how to lose weight?
B: How much do you weigh now?
A: About 150 Pounds. Can you believe it?
B: But that weight looks good on you. I certainly don't think you need to lose weight.
A: But I wish I had a slim figure like you. How often do you exercise?
B: I go to the gym three times a week.
A: What kind of exercise do you like to do?
B: I like to pump iron, swim and go hiking.
A: Cool. I'm just not interested in doing exercise. Are there any other ways I can lose weight without exercising?
B: Then I'm afraid that you have to go on a diet. Eat less or no rich food and sweets.
A: I will.
B: Even if you're going on a diet, you still need to make sure that you have a good breakfast.
Translation:
我这几天长胖了,你有什么减肥的好的建议吗?
你现在多重?
大概150磅。你能相信吗?
但是你看上去还好啊。我真的觉得你不需要减肥。
但是我想拥有像你一样苗条的身材。你多久锻炼一次?
我每周锻炼三次。
你喜欢什么样的运动?
我喜欢撸铁,游泳,和徒步旅行。
真棒。我就是对锻炼没有兴趣。有没有其他不需要锻炼就能减肥的方法?
那我恐怕你要节食啦。少吃或不吃油腻的食物和甜食。
好的。
即使你节食,你仍然需要确保早餐吃得好。
