時差N小時:你盤子里吃的太多了 The plate size

Yael:It's time for another installment of lunch withDon and Yael.

雅艾爾:現(xiàn)在到了唐和雅艾爾共進(jìn)午餐的另一環(huán)節(jié)。

So, Don, what do you have for lunch today?

那么,唐,今天午餐你吃什么?

Don:An apple.

唐:一個蘋果。

Yael:That's it?

雅艾爾:就這些嗎?

Don:And some water.

唐:還有些水。

Yael:Why so little?

雅艾爾:為什么吃這么點?

Don:Well, I ate out last night . . . and at restaurants you tend to get around four or five timesas much food as nutrition experts recommend.

唐:嗯,我昨晚出去吃的飯。。。在餐館就餐的你傾向于攝入專家推薦4至5倍的食物營養(yǎng)。

For example, if you order a steak, you'll probably get a nice, juicy, twelve-ounce piece of meat.

如果你點了牛排,你的餐盤里可能盛放的是一份不錯,多汁,12盎司的肉。

But experts say that you shouldn't eat more than five-and-a-half ounces of meat per day.

但專家表示你每天不應(yīng)該吃超過5盎司的肉。

Yael:Wow. Why does that happen?

雅艾爾:哇。為什么會這樣?

Don:It's partly due to the plate size.

唐:這部分是由于盤子尺寸所致。

Have you ever noticed that a lot of restaurants use oversize plates?

你有沒有注意到很多餐館使用超大的盤子?

Which leads to another factor . . .when you're paying for a meal, you expect those plates to befilled with food.

這導(dǎo)致另一個因素，當(dāng)你出去吃飯,你指望那些盤子裝滿食物。

Get a four- or five-ounce piece of steak on your giant plate and you might not feel that you'regetting your money's worth.

在4-5盎司牛排盛放到你巨大盤子后,你可能不會覺得你花出去的錢物有所值。

Yael:Y'know, I read somewhere that people are eating out more than ever.

雅艾爾:我在哪里看到過人們會比以往更多出去吃飯。

And if they're eating larger than recommended portions at restaurants, I bet that'scontributing to the obesity problem.

如果他們吃的比餐館推薦量還要多,我敢打賭這會導(dǎo)致肥胖問題。

Don:Some experts think so.

唐:一些專家也認(rèn)為如此。

But there's an easy solution . . . eat only some of what's on your plate and take the rest home.

但是有簡單的解決方案。。。只吃在你盤子里的,把其余的打包帶走。

Yael:Did you do that last night?

雅艾爾:你昨天晚上是這樣的嗎?

Don:Uh, no. It's kinda hard to stop eating when all that food is right there in front of you.

唐:嗯,沒有。滿桌美食盡在眼前不吃的確有些困難。

Yael:Well then, enjoy your apple.

雅艾爾:那就好好享受你的這餐蘋果吧。
