地道美语听力练习:节食减肥

Joel: You don't look so hot. Are you okay?
乔尔: 你看起来不那么性感了。你还好吧？

Beatrice: I'm perfectly fine.
碧翠斯: 我非常健康。

Joel: Oh, and you're grouchy, too. Don't tell me. You're dieting again.
乔尔: 啊，你心情也不好。不要告诉我，你又开始节食了。

Beatrice: Just leave me alone. I'm not popping pills or anything like that. I'm just trying to shed a few pounds the natural way.
碧翠斯: 让我一个人静一会。我又不是服用药物或者什么的。我只是想以自然的方式地减几磅。

Joel: The natural way? You mean like that diet you were on a few months ago where you only ate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Or that other diet you were on before where you drank 50 cups of water a day?
乔尔: 自然方式？你所谓的自然减肥是只在周一、周三和周五吃东西，正如你几个月前那样？或是其它的节食方式，比如说一天喝50杯水？

Beatrice: Those were fad diets that didn't work. I'm onto a new diet that's guaranteed to take way those unwanted pounds and to reveal my slimmer self.
碧翠斯: 那些节食减肥的方法根本不奏效。这次我保证能减掉多余的体重，重现苗条的我。

Joel: You sound like a commercial, or an infomercial. Is that where you found this diet, on some late-night infomercial?
乔尔: 你的语气跟商业、电视广告一模一样。你是从那里发现这个方法，还是从午夜电视上看到的？

Beatrice: It doesn't matter where I heard about this diet. It only matters that its scientifically proven to help people lose weight.
碧翠斯:我从哪里听来的并不重要。重要的是，事实证明它的确是科学的减肥方法。

Joel: All right. I need to shed a few pounds. What's the secret diet?
乔尔: 好吧。我也想减肥。你节食的秘方是什么？

Beatrice: I'm not telling you. You'll only make fun of it.
碧翠斯: 我不告诉你。你会取笑我的。

Joel: No, I won't. Tell me.
乔尔: 不，我不会。告诉我嘛。

Beatrice: All right. I only eat orange-colored foods.
碧翠斯: 好吧。我只吃橙色的食物。

Joel: What?!
乔尔:什么？

Beatrice: I said, I only eat orange-colored foods. I've eaten a lot of oranges and carrots.
碧翠斯:我说，我只吃橙色的食物。我已经吃了很多橙子和胡萝卜了。

Joel: I can see why you're so grouchy. You've lost your bleeping mind!
乔尔:怪不得你很生气呢。原来你完全疯了！
