地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客632:節(jié)食（雙語(yǔ)）

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

喬爾：你看上去精神不佳啊。你還好嗎?

Beatrice: I’m perfectly fine.

碧翠絲：我很好啊。

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

喬爾：哦，看你還有點(diǎn)不高興。別告訴我你又在節(jié)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.

碧翠絲：別管我。我又不是嗑藥什么的。我只是用自然的辦法去減肥。

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?

喬爾：自然的方式?你是指就像幾個(gè)月前你只在周一，周三和周五吃東西?還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.

碧翠絲：那些只是一時(shí)流行的節(jié)食方法，并不起作用。我找到一種新方法，這次保證可以減掉我多余的脂肪，然后展現(xiàn)更苗條的我。

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

你這樣說(shuō)聽(tīng)起來(lái)像商業(yè)廣告或電視導(dǎo)購(gòu)廣告。你是不是就是在深夜的電視導(dǎo)購(gòu)節(jié)目中發(fā)現(xiàn)的這個(gè)節(jié)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.

碧翠絲：我從哪里聽(tīng)來(lái)的這個(gè)節(jié)食方法并不重要。關(guān)鍵是這個(gè)方法是經(jīng)過(guò)科學(xué)證明的，是能幫助人們減肥的。

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

好吧。我也想要減幾斤。這個(gè)節(jié)食的秘方是什么呢?

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

碧翠絲：我不會(huì)告訴你的，你只會(huì)嘲笑它。

Joel: No, I won’t. Tell me.

喬爾：我不會(huì)的，告訴我吧。

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

碧翠絲：好吧。我只吃橙色的食物。

Joel: What?!

喬爾：什么?

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

碧翠絲：我說(shuō)，我只吃橙色的食物。我已經(jīng)吃了很多橙子和胡蘿卜了。

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

喬爾：我知道你為什么會(huì)不高興了。你已經(jīng)完全瘋掉了。
