　　我又和妈妈吵架了,鲍里斯.

　　Boris: oh, Iris! what was it about this time?

　　哦!艾瑞斯,这次又是为了什么?

　　I: it was over food. I simply wanted some fried chicken but she said no.

　　因为吃的,我不过想吃炸鸡,她都不让.

　　B: I believe she was right. You must know that fried foods contain a lot of fat.

　　我觉得她没错,你也知道炸鸡脂肪含量太高.

　　I: oh, she keeps saying that. She never allows me to have them.

　　哦,她老这么说,她从来不让我吃.

　　B: I think you'd better take her advice since health is the greatest wealth.

　　我觉得你最好听她的.,因为健康是最大的财富

　　I: But, Boris, i am not a baby any more.

　　可我又不是小孩子了,鲍里斯!

　　B: well, that's true.

　　嗯,这倒也是.

　　I: how about your mother?

　　你妈妈呢?

　　B: she also believes in healthy diet. And she requires us to have regular meals.

　　她也推崇健康饮食,而且她要求我们按时吃饭.

　　I: poor you. It seems we are in the same boat.

　　你真可怜,看来我们是同病相怜呢.

　　B: Oh, i am grateful for my mother on this point. her idea of healthy eating helps me a lot keeping fit.

　　噢,在这点上我还是很感激我妈妈的.她对健康饮食的看法对我保持健康很有帮助.

　　I: really? so you don't have fried food at all.

　　真的吗?那你从来不吃油炸食品?

　　B: not really. I may have some occasionally for a chance. But I don't indulge myself too much.

　　当然不是啦.我也会是不是吃点儿,换换口味.但是我不多吃.

　　I: how do you manage it?

　　你是怎么做到的?

　　B: it's pretty simple, Iris. Just keep it in mind that"you're what you eat."

　　其实很简单,艾瑞斯,只要记住"人如其食"就行了.

　　dialogue 2

　　I: Boris, look at this sentence."Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of foods you love." It's interesting, isn't it?

　　鲍里斯,你听听这个句子:"健康的饮食不是指严格的营养哲学,不切实际的瘦身或是不吃自己爱吃的食物."这听起来蛮有意思的.

　　B: I'd rather say it's confusing. what are those "strict nutrition philosophies" about?

　　我倒不明白.什么叫做"严格的营养哲学"?

　　I: I believe they are careful calculations on proteins, vitamins and calories.

　　我觉得是指仔细计算蛋白质,维他命和卡路里.

　　B: probably, Iris. That must be the job of nutritionists.

　　有道理,爱瑞斯.那都是营养学家该干的事.

　　I: healthy eating ia not about depriving oneslf of the foods one loves. So we are free to have whatever foods we love. It is unbelievable.

　　健康的饮食不是指不吃自己爱吃的食物.那我们就能随便吃自己爱吃的食物了吗?真是难以置信.

　　B: oh, believe it or not, I came across an article the other day, saying that pizza is a healthy food.

　　哎,你知道吗,前几天,我还读到一篇文章说披萨也是健康食品.

　　I: seriously?

　　真的吗?

　　B: yes, I felt exactly the same way as you did just now. Scientists muct be crazy in saying so.

　　是啊,我当时的反映和你一样,觉得科学家都疯了.

　　I: Maybe nowadays people hold different opinions on healthy diet.

　　也许现在人们对健康饮食的看法改变了.

　　B: absolutely. I myself sometimes believe that healthy eating is just about feeling great. As long as I have enough energy, it's fine.

　　是这样的.我有时候觉得吃得健康就是自己感觉好罢了.只要我精力充沛,就可以了.

　　I: but one must have some basic ideas about nutrition and find the best way for it to work out for the body.|

　　但是我们还是要知道一些基本的营养知识,使各种营养元素在我们的身体中发挥作用.
