编辑部的故事

（Tina is a very fashionable girl.So you can imagine she is always crazy about buying new clothes.But today she looks a bit upset.The reason is...)

(Tina 是个很时髦的女孩儿。所以，你能想象她总是疯狂购买新衣服。但是今天她看起来有些不高兴。原因是……)

Tina:Linda,you know what?I can't fit in the jeans I bought last month.I,ve been putting on a lot of weight.

Linda,你知道吗？上个月我买的牛仔裤创不上了。我长了好多重量。

Linda:Looking at me can make you happy.So don't take your eyes off me,baby.

看着我会使你高兴的。不要把你的目光从我的身上移开，宝贝儿。

Tina:I'm not kidding.I weight too much more this month.I have to go on a diet.

我没有开玩笑。我这个月重了好多。我的减肥了。

 Linda:What will you do then?

那你怎么做？

Tina:Eat less.But the problem is I love eating meals cooked by my son too much.I've been thinking aout some diet pills.Do you think thy work?

少吃些。可问题是我太喜欢吃妈妈做的菜了。我在想能不能吃些减肥药。你认为有用吗？

Linda:Most dieters believe that taking diet pills and eating diet food can really help.But I don't think so .I used to take diet pills and eat diet food for one year when I was still in college.But they just didn't work on me at all.Maybe I'm genetically fat.It has taken me quite a long time to get used to that.Now I love my ice cream more than anything else.Most important of all,you must be a happy person.Well,if you really want to lose weight,as a friend,I,m telling you yoga or some exercises of other forms may be worth a try.

大多数减肥者相信吃减肥药和减肥食品就能真正帮助减肥。但是我不这样想。我过去还在学校的时候吃减肥药丸和减肥食品有整整一年。但是这些对我丝毫不起作用。可能我就是先天性肥胖。我花了好长时间才接受这个现实。现在我爱冰激凌胜于一切。最重要的是，你一定要开心。嗯，如果你真的想减肥的话，作为朋友我告诉你，瑜伽或其他形式的一些锻炼值得一试。

Tina:You're right.Be happy and work things out.Now，I…

你是对的。开心点儿，然后解决问题，现在我…

Linda：What?

什么？

Tina:I'm going to buy some ice creams to share with you guys.

我要去买些冰激凌和你们大家一起吃。
