Daily Dialogue 日常会话

Diet Buddies

Patty： Incredibly，Eddie．Are you having a salad for lunch？No meat？No hamburger or hot dog？

Eddie： I have to get used to it，Patty．I'm off burgers and hot dog for good．Most fast food is loaded with sodium and oil .

Patty： I know．But why are you suddenly interested in your healthy diet ？

Eddie： My doctor says I should cut back on sodium–rich and oil-rich foods to lower my blood pressure.

Patty： Do you have heart attack or hypertension ？I would have thought you were too young for that.

Eddie： Actually，I don't have．But they say the risk increases with age.

Patty： Well，I'm so glad you're paying more attention to your diet，I could lose a few pounds，too．Except three meals，I have decided to give up snack and dessert .

Eddie： Great，maybe we can be “diet buddies”．You know，we can keep an eye on each other.

Patty： Ha-ha，that's funny.

食友

芭迪： 真是难以置信，艾迪。你中午只吃过色拉，不吃肉，汉堡或热狗了。

艾迪： 我必须开始习惯，芭迪。我准备不吃汉堡或热狗了，因为大多数的快餐钠和油都超标。

芭迪： 哦，这我知道。但是你为什么突然关注起你的健康饮食了？

艾迪： 我的医生告诉我要吃少钠少油的食物，来降低我的血压。

芭迪： 你有高血压还是心脏病？我本来想你这么年轻，不会有的。

艾迪： 实际上我也没有。随着年龄增长，风险增加。

芭迪： 很高兴你开始关注你的饮食了。我也开始减肥，除了三餐外，我决定戒掉小吃和甜点。

艾迪： 太好了，让我们组成小组，互相监督吧。

芭迪： 哈哈，太有意思了。
