[Steven精品五句之编辑部的故事]

(Tina is a very fashionable⁴ girl. So you can imagine she is always crazy about buying new clothes. But today she looks a bit upset. The reason is…)
（Tina是个很时髦的女孩儿。所以，你能想象她总是疯狂购买新衣服。但是今天她看起来有些不高兴。原因是。。。）

Tina:	Linda, you know what? I can’t fit in the jeans I bought last month. I’ve been putting on a lot of weight. Linda, 你知道吗？上个月我买的牛仔裤穿不上了。我长了好多分量。
Linda:	Looking at me can make you happy. So don’t take your eyes off me, baby. 看着我会使你高兴的。不要把你的目光从我的身上移开，宝贝儿。
Tina:	I’m not kidding. I weight much more this month. I have to go on a diet. 我没有开玩笑。我这个月重了好多。我得减肥了。
Linda:	What will you do then? 那你怎么做？
Tina:	Eat less. But the problem is I love eating meals cooked by my mom too much. I’ve been thinking5 about some diet pills. Do you think they work? 少吃些。可问题是我太喜欢吃妈妈做的菜了。我在想能不能吃些减肥药。你认为有用吗？
Linda:	Most dieters believe that taking diet pills and eating diet food can really help. But I don’t think so. I used to take diet pills and eat diet food for one year when I was still in college. But they just didn’t work on me at all. Maybe I’m genetically6 fat. It has taken me quite a long time to get used to that. Now I love my ice cream more than anything else. Most important of all, you must be a happy person. Well, if you really want to lose weight, as a friend, I’m telling you yoga or some exercises of other forms may be worth a try. 大多数减肥者相信吃减肥药和减肥食品就能真正帮助减肥。但是我不这样想。我过去还在学校的时候吃减肥药丸和减肥食品有整整一年。但是这些多我丝毫不起作用。 可能我就是先天性肥胖。 我花了好长时间才接受这个现实。现在我爱冰淇淋胜于一切。最重要的是，你一定要开心。嗯，如果你真的想减肥的话，作为朋友我告诉你，瑜迦或其他形式的一些锻炼值得一试。
Tina:	You’re right. Be happy and work things out. Now, I…. 你是对的。开心点儿，然后解决问题。现在我。。。
Linda:	What? 什么？
Tina:	I’m going to buy some ice creams to share with you guys. 我要去买些冰淇淋和你们大家一起吃。
