American sports English:healthy eating

P:Yang Chen, have you lost any weight since you started your weight loss plan 2 months ago?

Y:Yeah. 2 pounds. 我已经瘦了两磅了。

P:2 pounds in 2 months. Mmmm, let's not celebrate yet.

Y:Why not?

P:Because .......Now tell me what you do to lose weight.

Y:走路。

P:By shopping?

Y:Well, sort of.

P:What else do you do?

Y:举重。

P:lift weights.

Y:跑步机上跑步。

P:running on a treadmill。 Not bad. Well tell me about your diet.

Y:Diet? I'm not on a diet, Patrick. 我从来不节食。

P:When I say ‘diet’ D-I-E-T- I don't mean 节食, to go on a diet, I mean what are the foods that you eat?

Y:三顿饭，加一顿夜宵。

P:夜宵? Late night snack? Ah, I see! When it's late at night, your metabolism M-E-T-A-B-O-L-I-S-M slows down, making it easier for your body to gain weight.

Y:晚上新陈代谢慢。

P:Exactly. So you shouldn't eat late night snack. And when you get older, your metabolism slows down too.

Y:人年龄大了，新陈代谢也会慢下来。Why are you telling me this? Are you implying...

P:Don't be sensitive. I'm not saying you are old. I just want to tell you a key to losing weight is speeding up your metabolism by eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.

Y:OK. Speeding up metabolism 加速新陈代谢，就要多餐少吃。。。

P:Right. Eating smaller meals more frequently.

Y:That is such a pain!

P:Well, if you really want to reach your goal of losing weight, you will have to do this.

Y:OK. 还有什么，Patrick老师?

P:You also need to watch how many calories C-A-L-O-R-I-E-S you eat each day. Try not to exceed 2000 calories!

Y:Hey count my calories? 数卡路里, No way. Too much trouble.

P:You are full of excuses today! Actually it's very easy to count how many calories you eat in one day! Let me tell you how.

Y:Not interested. 我记得你刚才说要多餐少吃。

P:There you go!

Y:Now Let's go to McDonald's!

P:No way. It's not healthy.

Y:My treat!

P:Oh, in that case......let's go!

A:Oh, late night snacks─my favorite meal of the day!

B:I know. 中国有很多好吃的宵夜，我在中国时也管不住自己的嘴，although I'm usually a healthy eater.

A:那你最爱吃哪种宵夜？牛肉面？馄饨？海鲜粥？

B:杨琳，Stop that! 我要流口水了！

A:不如今天晚上我们去吃宵夜麻辣火锅吧！

B:好吧，No healthy eating for today!

A:Super! 好了，今天的节目时间差不多了。这次的撰稿人是晓北，编辑是蔚然。同学们，我们下次的美语训练班再见!

B:Bye!
