201. Eating Snacks

201. 狂吃快餐
George couldn't snap out of his addiction to snack food! That's why he was so fat! His mom put him on the soccer team, but that only lasted a week.
乔治吃快餐有瘾,根本无法迅速从中摆脱出来!所以他才有那么胖! 母亲让他进了足球队,可他只呆了一个星期。
When she signed him up for some tennis at a reduced cost because he was late, she thought maybe that would help more. Some bargain! It didn't work either.
由于他到得晚,她以优惠价给他报了网球,她认为打网球可能会对他帮助更大。这笔交易真不错!可打网球也没起作用。
George smuggled snacks into each practice and continued to get fat. His mom felt her heart sink into her boots!
每次练习乔治都偷偷带快餐来,所以他的肥胖有增无减。母亲觉得心都要碎了!

It wasn't because George was a soft head; he just couldn't help it. He loved cakes smothered in icing, candy bars from the snack bar,

乔治长胖并不是因为他是个傻子,他就是控制不了自己。他喜欢裹着糖衣的糕点、喜欢点心店的条形糖果,
and any soft drink he could get his hands on. When a store was sold out, he just walked to the next one! Maybe that was the only exercise he ever got-searching for food.
只要是能到手的软性饮料他都喜欢。一家店铺卖完了,他就会去另外一家店铺!这也许就是他唯一能得到的锻炼——寻找吃的。
Some things just can't be helped! Or so George's mom thought! She decided to take a different tact—she let George eat as much junk as he wanted. Maybe he would get sick of it?
有些事情就是没有办法!或者乔治的母亲就是这么想的!她决定采取一种不同的方法——让乔治想吃就吃。说不定他会吃腻呢?
George soaked up every sweet thing he could find, so to speak. He gorged himself. He bathed in chocolate. He brushed his teeth with candy bars. It was great!
可以说只要是能找到的甜食,乔治都会吃下去。他狼吞虎咽,把巧克力当饭吃,用糖果刷牙,真是痛快极了!
But then he started getting sick. Something was wrong! George couldn't eat sugar anymore! So what? His friends asked.
可是后来他开始生病了。不知道是哪里出了毛病。乔治不能再吃糖了!那又有什么关系呢?他的朋友们说,
Eat fruit and vegetables like we do! George did! It wasn't that bad! So far, so good! His mother thought. And she was right.
像我们一样吃水果和蔬菜吧!乔治尝了尝,还真不是那么糟糕!到目前为止,一切顺利!他母亲想。
Soon George lost most of his fat, rejoined the soccer team, and became a normal, healthy child. All because one mom let her son get everything that he wanted!
果然如她所料。乔治很快减掉大部分脂肪,重新回到足球队,成了一个正常而健康的孩子。所有这一切都是因为母亲让儿子要什么有什么!
