They've got nice bodies, they're skinny, even the older people are strong, but they're not you because they are used to eating Chinese food.
他们身材很好,体型纤瘦,就连老年人也很健壮,但他们不是你,因为他们习惯了吃中餐。
They know how to control their portions; they know when to stop.
他们懂得如何控制食量,也知道什么时候该停下来。
But when you're a foreigner and you just came from having steak with salt and pepper on it and side of potatoes and steamed asparagus,
可如果你是个外国人,刚刚吃完撒着盐和胡椒的牛排,配上土豆和清蒸芦笋,
and then you come to this world of flavors where every corner that you go to, there's something new to explore, there's a new food to try out every single meal.
然后一头闯入这个风味的世界,每到一个角落都有新事物等待探索,每一餐都有新食物等待品尝。
And even after years and years, you keep on finding new regional delicacies.
即便过了许多年,你仍会不断发现新的地方珍馐。
Trust me, you're not going to lose any weight, honey, even if you're doing 50,000 steps a day exploring new cities; you just walk from one food stall to the next.
相信我,亲爱的,你根本减不了肥,就算你每天在新城市里暴走五万步;你只不过是从一个小吃摊溜达到了下一个小吃摊。
