And I was so troubled by this. I said, how am I gonna go to the folks back home
我很困惑，这要我回去如何给人们交代呢
and tell them about the healthy diet of Okinawa when they eat so much pig
告诉人们冲绳的长寿秘诀是吃很多猪肉吗
So I was talking about this with my friend Kenji who's a local doctor
于是我去找我的朋友健二，一个当地医生
And he invited me over for dinner and I met his mother-in-law, Fujiko san who's a wonderful lady
健二请我到他家吃饭，我碰到了他岳母，藤子女士，她很棒
She's actually in her 70's and she swore to me that she doesn't dye her hair
70多岁了，她保证头发没有染过
So that alone made me convince whatever she was doing was healthy
这一点就让我信服，她的菜一定健康
And she showed me how she cooked her pig
她告诉我怎么做猪肉
So looking at that dish there, you see how much meat is in that dish
注意看这个菜里面放了多少猪肉
How many people do you think she's feeding there
你们猜这是多少人吃的
Okay, it was for the okazu, look at all those dishes and that was the meat for the dish; those were the pig, okay
这些叫“御数”，也就是配菜，所有的肉就那么些
So most of it is vegetables and rice and all these other things that really once again meat is a spice
大多数都是蔬菜，米饭这些，肉只是配菜而已
And they also have this wonderful thing in Japan, hara hachi bu
另外当地还有一个说法叫“腹八分”
Does anybody know what that means
有人知道意思吗
Eat until you're 80% full
只吃到八成饱
You know, I could sell you 10 diet books or I could just tell you hara hachi bu, you know
十本饮食书籍的作用或许还顶不上这句“腹八分”
It's such a wonderful piece of wisdom and as you said the children are taught that
这是一句充满智慧的劝诫，如你所说这会教给孩子
It's just the same, the way we say Gesundheit or something
就像我们说Gesundheit（祝健康）一样
You know, you grow up with that idea that you should never eat till you're 100% full, eat 20% less, Wow, brilliant
孩子们会伴随着这句话长大，不要吃百分百饱，少吃两成，多有智慧
