dialogue 2
I: Boris, look at this sentence."Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of foods you love." It's interesting, isn't it?
鮑里斯,你聽聽這個句子:"健康的飲食不是指嚴(yán)格的營養(yǎng)哲學(xué),不切實(shí)際的瘦身或是不吃自己愛吃的食物."這聽起來蠻有意思的.
B: I'd rather say it's confusing. what are those "strict nutrition philosophies" about?
