P: Yang Chen, have you lost any weight since you started your weight loss plan 2 months ago?
Y: Yeh. 我已经瘦了两磅了。
P: 2 pounds in 2 months. Mmmm, let’s not celebrate yet.
So tell me what do you do to lose weight.
Y: 举重。
P lift weights.
Y 跑步机上跑步
P: running on a treadmill。 Not bad. Tell me about your diet.
Y: I’m not on a diet. 我从来不节食。
P: When I say ‘diet’- I don’t mean to go on a diet, I mean what are the foods that you eat?
Y: 三顿饭，加一顿夜宵。
P 夜宵? Late night snack?
Y: That’s the best part.
P: When it’s late at night, your metabolism slows down, making it easier for your body to gain weight.
Y: 晚上新陈代谢慢。
P When you get older, your metabolism slows down too.
Y: Are you saying I’m old?
P: You are a sensitive girl.
Y: Girl? I’m not a girl.
P: Well, I can’t win. I just want to tell you a key to losing weight is to speed up your metabolism by eating smaller meals in the day.
Y: 要多餐少吃。
P: Right. Eating smaller meals more frequently.
Y: .OK. 还有什么，Patrick老师?
P: You have to watch how many calories you eat each day.
Y: Let’s go get a pizza.
P: No way. So many calories.
Y: 我请客。
P: Oh, in that case, let’s go!
