Living to Eat不吃白不吃

　　读故事

　　There is nothing worse than a stale steak, especially if you are cruising on a steamer. My standpoint is that no matter what the circumstances are, food is the most important thing. It's a sin to starve yourself, and I'll always make that statement. Forget about those statistics like 60% of our population lives on fast food and becomes fat. They have no real status. There is no point trying to keep your figure as slim as a statue by sacrificing tasty food and other enjoyments. Steady your nerves when you see a steady growth in your weight, because it's not the end of the world. But if there is a steep drop in your weight, that's when you should start to worry, because your life might be at stake; so don't stake your life on dieting. I can't see why a lot of people like to steep their shirts with sweat by doing exercises. Like a stake in the ground I just don't like to move around. I'm happy with my static life, and don't even like to move over to tune the radio when all I can hear is static.

　　没有什么比不新鲜的牛排更糟糕的了，尤其是在你乘轮船游玩的时候。我的观点是，不论在什么情况下，食物总是最重要的。使自己挨饿无异于犯罪，以后我会经常这么说。别理那些统计数字，什么有60%的人靠吃快餐为生并且发胖。他们没有真正的地位。为了让自己的身材苗条得像座雕像而放弃享受美味佳肴和其他享受是毫无道理的。看到你的体重持续上升你要稳定你的情绪，因为这不是世界末日。可是如果你的体重出现急剧下降，这时你就要开始担心了，因为你的生命说不定正处在危险之中，所以千万不要盲目节食，拿你的生命冒险。我不懂为什么有许多人热衷于运动，让衣服浸泡在汗水里。我就像地上的一根树桩，不喜欢动来动去。我很满意我静止的生活状态，即使收音机里传来的都是静电噪音我也不想走过去调一下。
