比爾和瑪麗是同事，他們正在公司的自助餐廳吃午餐。
Mary: I can't believe my eyes, Bill. Are youshavingsa salad for lunch? No burger?
瑪麗：比爾，我真不敢相信我的眼睛。你午餐只吃沙拉？不吃漢堡？
Bill:Get used to it, Mary. I'm off burgers for good. Most fast food is loaded with sodium.
比爾：瑪麗，你得開始習(xí)慣嘍。我已經(jīng)決定永遠(yuǎn)不吃漢堡了。大部分快餐，鈉的含量都很高。
Mary: I know. But why your sudden interest in lessening your salt intake?
瑪麗：這我知道。但你為什么突然想減少鹽的攝取量？
Bill:My doctor says I should cut back on sodium-rich foods to lower my blood pressure.
比爾：醫(yī)生說(shuō)我必須少吃高鈉鹽的食物以降低血壓。
Mary: Do you have hypertension? I would have thought you were too young.
瑪麗：你有高血壓？你還這么年輕。
Bill:Actually, my blood pressure isn't that high yet, but they say it increases with age.
比爾：事實(shí)上我的血壓也沒(méi)有那么高，但據(jù)說(shuō)血壓會(huì)隨年齡的增長(zhǎng)而增高。
Mary: Well, I'm glad you're starting to pay more attention to your diet.
瑪麗：啊，真高興看到你開始比較注意飲食了。
Bill:I want to lower my risk of heart attack and stroke, too.
比爾：我也想降低得心臟病和中風(fēng)的危險(xiǎn)。
Mary: So do I. That's why I've been trying to lower my cholesterol level.
瑪麗：我也是，這就是為什么我一直想降低膽固醇指數(shù)的原因。
Bill:I've noticed you've been munching4 away on lots of fruits and vegetables recently.
比爾：我注意到你最近大吃蔬菜水果。
Mary: That's right. I could stand to lose a few pounds, too.
瑪莉：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。這樣我還可以減掉幾磅。
Bill:In that case, you should come to my health club with me.
比爾：既然如此，你應(yīng)該跟我一起去健身俱樂(lè)部。
Mary: You've joined a health club? I would never have dreamed that you'd take something like this so seriously.
瑪麗：你參加健身俱樂(lè)部了？我做夢(mèng)也沒(méi)想到你會(huì)這樣認(rèn)真對(duì)待一件事。
Bill:So, how about it? Can you tear yourself away from the TV tonight?
比爾：怎么樣？你舍得不看今晚的電視嗎？
Mary: Why not? If you can break your unhealthy eating habits, I can surely break a sweat.
瑪麗：為什么不呢？你都可以改正不良飲食習(xí)慣，我流點(diǎn)汗又何妨？
