“肥胖”英語怎么說

時間: 楚欣650 分享

  名詞解釋:肥胖癥是一種由多種因素引起的慢性代謝性疾病,以體內(nèi)脂肪細(xì)胞的體積和細(xì)胞數(shù)增加致體脂占體重的百分比異常增高并在某些局部過多沉積脂肪為特點(diǎn)。單純性肥胖患者全身脂肪分布比較均勻,沒有內(nèi)分泌紊亂現(xiàn)象,也無代謝障礙性疾病,其家族往往有肥胖病史。你知道怎么用英語表達(dá)嗎?

  The obesity is among the most critical health issues facing us at present.

  For most people, obesity is usually the consequence of eating too much junk food and consuming portions that are too large.

  The food industry has developed tens of thousands of products with more calories per bite, as well as new, effective marketing strategies to encourage us to buy and consume more than necessary.

  If we didn't live in a world filled with too many foods with excess fat, salt and sugar, the incidence of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes probably would plummet.

  現(xiàn)在,肥胖是我們所面臨的最嚴(yán)峻的健康問題之一。

  對于大多數(shù)人來說,肥胖通常是由于食用過多垃圾食品和飲食過度導(dǎo)致的。

  食品工業(yè)生產(chǎn)出數(shù)以萬計(jì)的產(chǎn)品,這些產(chǎn)品的單位卡路里含量更高;同時,新型有效的市場營銷策略誘使我們購買、消費(fèi)超出需要的食物。

  如果我們沒有生活在充斥著含有過量脂肪、鹽分和糖的食物的世界里,那么肥胖癥、心臟病、高血壓和糖尿病的發(fā)病率就可能會驟降。

  【講解】

  文中的obesity作名詞,意思就是“肥胖,過胖”,如:obesity cure(肥胖癥治療);它的形容詞是obese(肥胖的),如:obese figure(肥胖的身軀)。據(jù)醫(yī)學(xué)研究,肥胖容易導(dǎo)致的疾病有:心臟病(heart disease),高血壓(high blood pressure),以及癌癥(cancer),這些疾病都是人類健康的主要?dú)⑹帧?/p>

  文中最后一段的plummet,用作動詞,意為“暴跌”,如:House prices have plummeted in this area.(此地區(qū)房價大跌。)
