论快餐

In recent years, China has witnessed the prosperity of fast food restaurants in big cities. It is quite easy for people to have meals at KFC or McDonald's. At lunch time, it is hard to find seats in some fast food restaurants.

最近几年，中国大城市的快餐也颇为盛行。人们很容易在肯德基或麦当劳用餐。在午饭时间，快餐店里很少有空座。

While so many small restaurants are worried about how to attract more customers, foreign fast food restaurants have rushed into China. Why can they draw so many people's attention? Firstly, fast food is very fast and convenient. People can stuff themselves within several minutes. Secondly, the restaurants offering fast food also provide a very comfortable environment as well as a warm atmosphere. People can not only enjoy the food they have, but can also feel the foreign flavor the restaurants try to display.

当许多小饭馆发愁如何吸引顾客的时候，外国的洋快餐店蜂拥而至。它们为何能吸引如此多的人的关注呢？首先，快餐非常快捷方便，人们可以在几分钟之内塞饱肚子。其次，快餐店在提供食物的同时，还提供了舒适的环境和温暖的气氛。人们不仅能享受到美食，还能感受到快餐店试图营造的异域风情。

However, most of the people who regularly go to fast food restaurants rarely realize the fact that, although the food may taste delicious, fast food usually has little nutrition. I think they should eat less for the sake of their health.

然而，经常光顾快餐店的人很少意识到这样一个事实，快餐尽管味道可口，但是却没有什么营养。为了自身健康，最好还是少吃快餐。
