Dear Amy
親愛的埃米,
My computer was broken so I couldn't read your two e-mails until today.
我的電腦壞了,直到今天才讀了你的兩封電子郵件。
I'm so sorry to hear about your problems, but I'm glad you're feeling better and are recovering.
聽到你的事我很難過,但你感覺好多了,而且正在康復(fù),我很高興。
You're right. We shouldn't be embarrassed about our weight.
你說的對。我們不應(yīng)該為我們的體重感到不好意思。
I think you look great as you are, and you're a wonderful person.
我覺得你目前這個(gè)樣子就很棒,你是一個(gè)非常好的人。
I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress.
我知道保持苗條體態(tài)的壓力是個(gè)問題,尤其是對于一名演員來說。
However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.
但是,你媽媽的觀點(diǎn)是最正確的:健康比任何東西都重要。
It's the same in China—
在中國情況也一樣—
many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous.
許多人,包括有些根本就不超重的人,總是在節(jié)食,或是吃減肥藥,這些做法往往是危險(xiǎn)的。
I hope they can learn from your story.
我希望他們能吸取你的教訓(xùn)。
Love
愛你的
