【課文】
My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
我的朋友休一直都很胖,但最近情況越來越糟,于是他決定節(jié)食。他一周前開始了節(jié)食計(jì)劃。首先,他列出了一份長長的禁食食物清單。清單上大部分都是他愛吃的東西:黃油、土豆、米飯、啤酒、牛奶、巧克力和糖果。昨天我去看望他。我按了門鈴,看到休還是像以前一樣胖,并不感到驚訝。他把我領(lǐng)進(jìn)房間,匆忙把一個(gè)大包裹藏到了桌子下面。很明顯,他感到非常尷尬。當(dāng)我問他正在做什么時(shí),他愧疚地笑了笑,然后把包裹放到了桌子上。他解釋說,他的節(jié)食計(jì)劃太嚴(yán)格了,所以他不得不偶爾獎勵一下自己。然后他給我看了包裹里的內(nèi)容。里面裝了五塊大巧克力和三包糖果!
