第159句:

Ask anyone why there is an obesity epidemic and they will tell you that it's all down to eating too much and burning too few calories.

随便问一个人为什么他会患上肥胖症时,他们都会告诉你,“那都是由于平时吃得太多而消耗的热量又太少”。


六级词汇讲解:

本句是个并列复合句,主干是Ask anyone why...and they will tell you that...why引导的从句作anyone的宾语补足语;that引导的从句则作you的宾语补足语。

be down to意为“可归因于,因为”。如:

How much sleep you need could be down to one gene.

人需要多少睡眠时间可能归因于一种基因。
