英文會話
Daniel: It seems like I have gained some weight through the past few weeks. Look at my beer gut!
Archi: Wow, it is really obvious that your belly is getting bigger. Are you paying attention on what you are eating?
Daniel: I try to, but things can get out of control easily. How to get a balanced diet is really a lifelong issue.
Archi: As long as you get used to it, it is not that difficult. I can show you some useful tips.
Daniel: Go on, I’m listening.
Archi: The first one, eat vegetables first. By doing so, you will most likely finish all of the vegetables while you are in the hungriest condition and be apt to eat less unhealthy food.
Daniel: Good, a great start. This sounds feasible. I just have to change the sequence of what I eat. I have had my carbohydrates first since always.
Archi: Second, minimize the distractions and practice mindful eating. It can help you increase satisfaction and to be more aware of when you are full. Last but not least, drink enough water!
Daniel: Wow, have you been doing these all the time? No wonder you are always so slim!
Archi: I try my best to keep myself in shape. After all, everyone only has one body.
中文翻譯
丹尼爾：在過去的幾個星期中我似乎變胖了。看看我的啤酒肚！
阿奇：哇，很明顯你的肚子變大了。你有在注意你吃了什麼嗎？
丹尼爾：我有試著那麼做，但事情很容易失去控制。如何得到均衡的飲食真的是一個終身議題。
阿奇：只要你習慣，它並不是那麼難。我可以教你幾個有用的技巧。
丹尼爾：說吧，我在聽。
阿奇：第一個，先吃菜。這麼做的話，你很可能在你最餓的時候吃完所有的蔬菜，這有利於你少攝取不健康的食物。
丹尼爾：很好，一個好的開始。這聽起來是可行的。我只要改變我吃東西的順序，我一直以來都是先吃碳水化合物。
阿奇：第二，盡量減少分心然後練習有意識地進食，這可以幫助你增加滿足感也讓你更察覺到自己已經飽了。最後，但也是最重要的，喝足夠的水！
丹尼爾：哇，你一直以來都做著這些嗎？難怪你一直這麼苗條！
阿奇：我盡最大的努力來維持健康和體態，畢竟，每個人都只有一個身體。
