If you need another reason to kick the junk food habit this should do it.

如果你想要找一个理由让你戒掉垃圾食品,这条新闻可能会帮上忙。

A Utah man has unearthed a McDonald's hamburger he bought in 1999 - and the sandwich looks exactly the same as the day it was first flipped.

一位来自美国犹他州的男子发现:他于1999年在麦当劳买的汉堡,现在看起来跟刚买时几乎毫无差别。

David Whipple kept the fast food meal for a month to show friends how the preservative-packed hamburger would keep its composure.

大卫-惠普尔原本打算将这块汉堡保存一个月,来向他的朋友证明防腐剂是如何保存汉堡使其不变质的。

But he forgot about it, finding it two years later in his coat pocket and then he decided to continue the bizarre experiment.

但不久后他忘了这件事,直到两年后才在大衣口袋里找到这个汉堡,于是他决定继续这个古怪的实验。

However, even he was shocked to see that the hamburger still looks the same a whopping 14 years later.

然而,14年后汉堡仍看起来和刚买时一样,这样的结果使他十分震惊。

'It wasn't on purpose,' Whipple told TV show 'The Doctors,' of his decision to keep the burger for such a long time.

“我不是有意做出这样的决定,将汉堡保存这么长时间的”,惠普尔在电视节目“医生” 中谈到。

‘I was showing some people how enzymes work and I thought a hamburger would be a good idea. And I used it for a month and then I forgot about it.’

“我当时只是想向朋友展示酶类是如何产生作用的,我觉得用汉堡可能效果不错。而且我本来只打算保存一个月,但后来压根忘了这件事。”

 

 

'It ended up in a paper sack in the original sack with the receipt in my coat pocket tossed in the back of my truck and it sat there for, I don't know, two or three months.'

“后来我在放在卡车后备箱的大衣口袋里发现了这个汉堡,它原封不动地被装在纸袋中,发票也还留着,在后备箱里放了大概 有2到3个月。”

He said his coat ended up in the coat closet of his Logan, Utah, home.

他说之后这件大衣被挂在他位于犹他州洛根市家中的衣橱里。

'My wife didn't discover it until at least a year or two after that,' he said. 'And we pulled it out and said "oh my gosh. I can't believe it looks the same way."'

“我的妻子直到一两年后才发现这个汉堡,” 惠普尔说,“当把汉堡拿出来时我们惊呼 ‘天呐,简直不可思议,它看起来与刚买时一样!’”

The burger had no signs of mold, fungus or even a strange odor, the show's hosts said. The only thing that had changed over the years was that the pickle had disintegrated.

汉堡上并没有任何的菌斑甚至是奇怪的气味,的变化是夹在中间的酸黄瓜分解了。

Whipple, who still has the original receipt for the burger, said he now shows the sandwich to his grandchildren to encourage them to eat healthily.

惠普尔仍持有当时买这个汉堡的发票,他说现在他可以证明给他的孙子孙女看快餐的问题,并鼓励他们吃得健康一点了。
