时间：2018-12-25 作者：英语课 分类：和老外聊天地道口语
A: why are there still so many people overweight despite the current 1 fitness 2 craze?
C: well, there are certain factors 3 that effect people's size and weight.
A: what are they?
C: one study said that low-income groups have a higher percentage of over-weight people than higher income families.
A: why?
C: the survey said that the low, income groups eat more junk 4 food on a daily basis.
A: that makes sense. Probably less time to make dinner and the junk food is cheaper.
C: and junk food contains lots of fat and oil. There is one final reason why so many people are fat.
A: what's that?
C: nobody exercises anymore-not even kids! The average american home has the TV on for 6 hours a day!
A: wow! No wonder people are so fat. Say, Carl, looks like you could be doing a bit more exercising.
C: yeah, I guess so.
A: you should consider eating healthier food and getting some more exercise.
C: hey, I started a diet and lost 10 pounds.
A: so what happened?
C: well, I quit and gained it back plus 5 pounds.
A: you should have kept trying.
现在健身这么火,为什么还是有那么多人超重呢?
嗯,还是有一些因素会影响人们的体型和体重的.
都有哪些因素呢?
有研究表明低收入人群超重的比例比高收入人群高.
为什么呢?
说低收入人群每天吃太多的垃圾食品.
可以理解,他们每天工作忙,没时间做饭,垃圾食品又比较便宜.
垃圾食品油脂含量又高.不过还有另外一个原因.
什么?
现在很少有人锻炼身体,甚至小孩都不锻炼.家里电视一天至少开6个小时.
天啊.怪不得人们变得这么胖.卡尔,你是不是也该锻炼锻炼身体了?
可能吧.
你可要注意饮食了,多做锻炼啊.
我节食一段时间,瘦了10磅呢.
后来呢?
我放弃了,结果体重反弹,又胖了5磅.
贵在坚持啊.
