76.贪吃的减肥者

常用应急场景

范例一：Biggest loser

I feel confused by all the diet options out there. I don’t know which one actually works¹.

Most of them are not so practical. It will be very bad for your health if you skip lunches or supers as the recommended. I think making an exercise plan can be more effective.

Maybe you’re right. It is very expensive to go to a weight-loss center. I’d better join in a fitness² club.

You don’t need to lose weight, you are not fat.

I bought an exercise dress yesterday and I found it was hard to dress it up.

范例二：Big news

Hi, Monica, I got big news.

You got a raise?

Not really, just take a wild guess.

You got promoted?

Well, it is not going to happen so soon, I guess.

You won a lottery³? Don’t beat around the bush, just tell me, please.

Ok, I lost 5 pounds.
