听力原文及翻译
A: So what can we say about helping people to lose weight? There's a lot we could say about what restaurants could do to reduce obesity, I read that the items at the start of a menu, and the items at the end of a menu are much more likely to be chosen than the items in the middle, so if you put the low calorie items at the beginning, and end of the menu, people will probably go for the food with fewer calories without even realizing what they're doing.
A：那么我们能说些什么来帮助人们减肥呢？关于餐馆可以做些什么来减少肥胖，我们可以说很多，我读到菜单开头和结尾的菜品比中间的菜品更容易被选择，所以如果你把低热量的菜品放在菜单的开头和结尾，人们可能会在不知不觉中就选择热量较低的食物。
B: I think food manufacturers could do more to encourage healthy eating.
B：我认为食品制造商可以做更多的事情来鼓励健康饮食。
A: How?
A：怎么做？
B: Well. when manufacturers put calorie counts of a food on the label, they're sometimes really confusing, and I suspect they do it on purpose because food that's high in calories taste better, and so they'll sell more.
B：嗯。当制造商在标签上标明食物的卡路里数时，有时会让人感到困惑，我怀疑他们是故意这样做的，因为高热量的食物味道更好，所以卖得更多。
A: Yeah, so if you look at the amount of calories in a pizza, they'll give you the calories per quarter pizza, and you think oh that's not too bad, but who's going to eat a quarter pizza?
A：是的，所以如果你看看披萨的卡路里含量，他们会告诉你四分之一披萨的卡路里，你会想，哦，这还不错，但是谁会吃四分之一披萨呢？
B: Exactly!
B：没错！
A: I suppose another approach to this problem is to get people to exercise more.
A：我想解决这个问题的另一种方法是让人们多锻炼。
B: Right. In England, the current guidelines offer at least 30 minutes of brisk walking, five days a week. Now when you ask them, about 40% of men and 30% of women say they do this, but when you objectively measure the amount of working they do
with motion senses, you find that only 6% of men and 4% of women do the recommended amount of exercise.
B：对。在英国，目前的指导方针建议每周五天至少快走 30 分钟。现在当你问他们时，大约 40% 的男性和 30% 的女性说他们会这样做，但当你客观地衡量他们用运动感官进行的工作量时，你会发现只有 6% 的男性和 4% 的女性做了推荐的运动量。
A: Hmm...so you can see why obesity is growing.
A：嗯……所以你可以看到为什么肥胖症在增加。
B: So, how can people be encouraged to take more exercise?
B：那么，如何鼓励人们多锻炼呢？
A: Well, for example, think of the location of stairs in a train station. If people reach the stairs before they reach the escalator when they are leaving the station, they are more likely to take the stairs, and if you increase the width of the stairs, you will get more people using them at the same time. It's an unconscious process and influenced by minor modifications in their environment.
A：嗯，例如，想想火车站楼梯的位置。如果人们在离开车站时先到达楼梯，然后到达自动扶梯，他们更有可能走楼梯，如果你增加楼梯的宽度，就会有更多的人同时使用它们。这是一个无意识的过程，受到他们环境中微小变化的影响。
B: Right. And it might not be a big change, but if it happens every day, it all adds up.
B：对。这可能不是一个很大的变化，但如果每天都发生，那么一切都会累积起来。
A: Yes, but actually, I'm not sure if we should be talking about exercise in our presentation.
A：是的，但实际上，我不确定我们是否应该在演讲中谈论锻炼。
B: Well, we've done quite a bit of reading about it.
B：但我们已经阅读了很多相关资料。
A: I know， but it's going to mean we have a very wide focus, and our tutor did
say that we need to focus on causes and solutions in terms of nutrition.
A：我知道，但这意味着我们的关注点非常广泛，我们的导师确实说过，我们需要关注营养方面的原因和解决方案。
B: I suppose so. And we've got plenty of information about that. Okay, well, that will be simpler.
B：我想是的。我们有很多这方面的信息。好的，这样会更简单。
A: So what shall we do now? We've still got half an hour before our next lecture.
A：那么我们现在该做什么？距离下一次讲座还有半个小时。
B: Let's think about what we're going to include and what will go where, then we can decide what slides we need.
B：让我们考虑一下我们要包括什么以及要放在哪里，然后我们可以决定需要哪些幻灯片。
A: Okay, fine.
A：好的，没问题。
