A: So what did you think about the research?
A：那么，你覺得這項調研怎么樣？
B: I thought it was well thought out, although it did take three years to produce any results.
B：我覺得這是經過了周詳考慮的，盡管要花三年才有結果。
A: Yes, but that's to be expected given the age of the participants. I mean, they had to chart their progress over several years.
A：對，但考慮到參與者的年齡，這本在意料之中。我是指，他們要在好幾年間跟蹤自己的進度。
B: I suppose so.
B：我想也是。
A: But didn't you think the results were astonishing? I know I did.
A：但你不認為結果是非常驚人的嗎？我是這么覺得的。
B: Yeah, me too. It's amazing to think that watching TV can have such a clearly demonstrated effect on children's obesity problems. It's quite alarming really.
B：對，我也是。看電視對于兒童肥胖問題的影響已被清晰證實了，這太不可思議了。這可真令人擔憂。
A: I agree.
A：我同意。
B: People were generally unimpressed by the findings though, which is typical when there's a suggestion that we change our behaviour.
B：人們往往對于這些研究發現無動于衷，（尤其是）研究結果暗示我們應改變自己的行為，這很常見。
