6 A Healthy Attitude

CHAPTER 6 A HEALTHY ATTITUDE The next day, Mom tells me that walking is the best exercise. I can walk, so I am in good shape. She also says that a well- balanced diet is important. She claims, "You are what you eat." So I ask for a hot dog. I'd like to be a hot dog at the field day.

第六章健康的态度第二天，妈妈告诉我散步是最好的运动。 我能走路，所以我的身材很好。 她还说均衡的饮食很重要。 她说：“你吃什么就是什么。” 所以我要了一个热狗。我想在比赛时变成热狗。

Later that day, I go to the health food store. The shelves are loaded with products and promises. Power Powder says that it can give you a healthier body in three days. Another is called Energizer—I don't want to eat a battery, though. There is even some stuff called Muscle Maker and another thing called Puny Pills. I don't think I want any of them.

那天晚些时候，我去了健康食品店。 货架上摆满了产品和承诺。 Power Powder说它可以让你在三天内拥有更健康的身体。 另一种叫劲量（energizer），不过我可不想吃掉电池。 甚至有一些东西叫做Muscle Maker，还有一种叫做Puny Pills。 我想我一个都不想要。

BRAWN BAR I walk farther into the store and there's row after row of powders, pills, and potions that all say they are packed with power. Each one promises a healthier body in three minutes or three days. There are Brawn Bars, Force Flakes, and Tower Tabs that strengthen, invigorate, and fortify. IF YOU TAKE ONE OF THESE A DAY YOU'LL LOOK LIKE ME. COOL.

我进一步走进商店，看到一排排的粉剂、药片和药水，都说它们充满了力量。 每个人都承诺在三分钟或三天内拥有更健康的身体。 有肌肉棒，力片和塔标签，加强，振兴和强化。 如果你每天吃一个，你就会像我一样。 酷。

There's another product called Lightning Bar—one bite will turn you into an Olympic champion and two bites will give you the power to fly. I don't think there's a flying competition at the field day. Another aisle contains a whole alphabet of vitamins and minerals. And all the store's signs say that you need to buy them all. AWESOME.

还有一种叫“闪电棒”的产品，一口就能让你成为奥运冠军，两口就能让你飞起来。 我不认为运动会有飞行比赛。 另一条过道里有一整套维生素和矿物质。 所有商店的招牌上都写着你需要把它们都买下来。 太棒了。

Then there's a weird food area. Hot dogs made from cereal. Cereal made from seaweed. Then there's tofu, which sounds like it comes from in between your toes. GROSS! And it's all really, really expensive. I wonder if they'd like to buy my rubber band.

然后是一个奇怪的食物区。 用谷物做的热狗。 由海藻制成的谷物。还有豆腐，听起来像是从你的脚趾间发出来的。 恶心!而且这些都非常非常贵。 我想知道他们是否愿意买我的橡皮筋。
