地道美语听力播客632:节食（双语）

Joel: You don’t look so hot. Are you okay?

乔尔：你看上去精神不佳啊。你还好吗?

Beatrice: I’m perfectly fine.

碧翠丝：我很好啊。

Joel: Oh, and you’re grouchy, too. Don’t tell me. You’re dieting again.

乔尔：哦，看你还有点不高兴。别告诉我你又在节食。

Beatrice: Just leave me alone. I’m not popping pills or anything like that. I’m just trying to shed a few pounds the natural way.

碧翠丝：别管我。我又不是嗑药什么的。我只是用自然的办法去减肥。

Joel: The natural way? You mean like that diet you were on a few months ago where you only ate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Or that other diet you were on before where you drank 50 cups of water a day?

乔尔：自然的方式?你是指就像几个月前你只在周一，周三和周五吃东西?还是更早以前的你每天只喝50杯水?

Beatrice: Those were fad diets that didn’t work. I’m onto a new diet that’s guaranteed to take way those unwanted pounds and to reveal my slimmer self.

碧翠丝：那些只是一时流行的节食方法，并不起作用。我找到一种新方法，这次保证可以减掉我多余的脂肪，然后展现更苗条的我。

Joel: You sound like a commercial, or an infomercial. Is that where you found this diet, on some late-night infomercial?

你这样说听起来像商业广告或电视导购广告。你是不是就是在深夜的电视导购节目中发现的这个节食方法啊?

Beatrice: It doesn’t matter where I heard about this diet. It only matters that its scientifically proven to help people lose weight.

碧翠丝：我从哪里听来的这个节食方法并不重要。关键是这个方法是经过科学证明的，是能帮助人们减肥的。

Joel: All right. I need to shed a few pounds. What’s the secret diet?

好吧。我也想要减几斤。这个节食的秘方是什么呢?

Beatrice: I’m not telling you. You’ll only make fun of it.

碧翠丝：我不会告诉你的，你只会嘲笑它。

Joel: No, I won’t. Tell me.

乔尔：我不会的，告诉我吧。

Beatrice: All right. I only eat orange-colored foods.

碧翠丝：好吧。我只吃橙色的食物。

Joel: What?!

乔尔：什么?

Beatrice: I said, I only eat orange-colored foods. I’ve eaten a lot of oranges and carrots.

碧翠丝：我说，我只吃橙色的食物。我已经吃了很多橙子和胡萝卜了。

Joel: I can see why you’re so grouchy. You’ve lost your bleeping mind!

乔尔：我知道你为什么会不高兴了。你已经完全疯掉了。
