情景对话
Adrienne: So, Mike, you don't eat fast food, huh?
埃德里安娜：迈克，你不吃快餐，对吧？
Mike: No, no. I find fast food not very healthy and I try to eat healthy and try to live a healthy kind of lifestyle.
迈克：不吃，我不吃。我认为快餐非常不健康，我尽量吃得更健康，尽量以健康的生活方式生活。
Adrienne: How do you do that?
埃德里安娜：你是怎么做的？
Mike: Well, I'm going to the gym, not smoking, just generally trying not to do too much bad stuff for your body I guess, you know like over doing things.
迈克：嗯，我去健身房，不抽烟，一般不做太多对身体有害的事情，你知道像过度做一些事情之类的。
Adrienne: What kind of things do you think are bad for your body?
埃德里安娜：你认为哪类事情是对身体有害的？
Mike: Stress, probably the worst thing is stress, but of course I think anything you do to much of, like you know, for example, if you, if you're somebody who smokes then smoking too much is probably a bad thing, although of course smoking I think is not good at all, but anyways, or, like if some people, if you want to go out for drinks then drinking too much is probably a bad thing, or eating too much is a bad thing so, so everything I think in balance is the healthiest thing.
迈克：压力，压力可能是对身体最有害的，当然我认为任何事做过了都不好，比如，如果你抽烟抽得很厉害，那就是件坏事，而且我认为抽烟一点好处都没有，当然，如果有些人喝酒喝得很凶，那也是不好的事，还有吃太多东西也是坏事，所以我认为不管什么事，保持平衡是最健康的方式。
Adrienne: Moderation is the key!
埃德里安娜：关键就是要适度！
Mike: That's the word.
迈克：没错，就是这个。
Adrienne: So what kind of things do you do to stay healthy?
埃德里安娜：那你做什么来保持健康呢？
Mike: Um, well, wake up, I mean wake up early, go for a run or go to the gym in the morning, everyday, and then just try to eat a balanced diet, not eat a lot of, like you said at the beginning, like fast food and stuff I stay away from in general, and not try to over do it with, try not to get too stressed out about things at work, and also try not to party too much.
迈克：嗯，早起，每天早上去跑步或是去健身，饮食要均衡，像你刚开始说的垃圾食品，就不要吃太多，通常这都是我不吃的食物，同时做事不要做得太过，工作中不要有太多的压力，尽量不要参加太多派对。
Adrienne: Do you have any fast food that you like to eat just once in awhile, just as a special treat?
埃德里安娜：你偶尔会不会吃一次快餐，就像特别待遇一样？
Mike: Um, yeah, sure! I mean I love chocolate, so you know, for sure. I've lived in Belgium for several months and I got used to really, really good Belgium chocolate.
迈克：啊，当然会了！我是说我喜欢巧克力，你知道，这是肯定的。我在比利时住了几个月，那时我喜欢吃美味的比利时巧克力。
Adrienne: Very good chocolate there!
埃德里安娜：那里的巧克力非常不错！
Mike: Absolultely, so yeah! It's kind of, if I do occasionally I'll have a little bit of Belgium chocolate.
迈克：绝对是的！我偶尔会吃一点比利时巧克力。
