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.
喬治吃快餐有癮，根本無法迅速從中擺脫出來！所以他才有那么胖！ 母親讓他進了足球隊，可他只呆了一個星期。
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，她以優惠價給他報了網球，她認為打網球可能會對他幫助更大。這筆交易真不錯！可打網球也沒起作用。
George smuggled snacks into each practice and continued to get fat. His mom felt her heart sink into her boots!
每次練習喬治都偷偷帶快餐來，所以他的肥胖有增無減。母親覺得心都要碎了！
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,
喬治長胖并不是因為他是個傻子，他就是控制不了自己。他喜歡裹著糖衣的糕點、喜歡點心店的條形糖果，
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.
只要是能到手的軟性飲料他都喜歡。一家店鋪賣完了，他就會去另外一家店鋪！這也許就是他唯一能得到的鍛煉——尋找吃的。
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?
有些事情就是沒有辦法！或者喬治的母親就是這么想的！她決定采取一種不同的方法——讓喬治想吃就吃。說不定他會吃膩呢？
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!
可以說只要是能找到的甜食，喬治都會吃下去。他狼吞虎咽，把巧克力當飯吃，用糖果刷牙，真是痛快極了！
But then he started getting sick. Something was wrong! George couldn't eat sugar anymore! So what? His friends asked.
可是后來他開始生病了。不知道是哪里出了毛病。喬治不能再吃糖了！那又有什么關系呢？他的朋友們說，
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.
像我們一樣吃水果和蔬菜吧！喬治嘗了嘗，還真不是那么糟糕！到目前為止，一切順利！他母親想。
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。喬治很快減掉大部分脂肪，重新回到足球隊，成了一個正常而健康的孩子。所有這一切都是因為母親讓兒子要什么有什么！
