My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets! 参考译文 我的伴侣休始终很胖，但是近来状况变得更加糟糕，以致他确定节食。他是一星期前开场节食的。首先，他开列了一张长长的单子，上面列了全部禁吃的食物。这张单子上的大多数食物都是休宠爱吃的：黄油、土豆、米饭、啤酒、牛奶、巧克力和糖果。昨天我去探望了他。我按响了门铃，当看到休仍和平常一样胖时，我并不感到惊异。他把我领进屋，慌张把一个大包藏到了桌子下面。明显他感到很犯难。当我问他正干什么时，他内疚地笑了，然后把那个大包拿到了桌上。他解释说，他的饮食把握得太严格了，以致不得不间或奖赏自己一下。接着他给我看了包里的东西。里面装了5大块巧克力和3袋糖果！ New words and Expressions生词和短语 reward n.报偿 virtue n.美德 diet n.节食 forbid v.制止 hurriedly adv.匆忙地 embarrass v.使犯难 guiltily adv.内疚地 strict adj.严格的 reward v.给奖赏 occasionally adv.间或地 Lesson 51自学导读First things first课文详注Further notes on the text 1．…but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.……但是近来状况变得更加糟糕，以致他确定节食。 〔1〕things〔要用复数形式〕可以表示“状况”、“情形”、“状况”、“形势”等含义： You ve surely made things worse. 你的确使状况变得更糟了。 How are things going on with you? 你那里状况如何？ 〔2〕get作不及物动词时可以表示“变得”： I got interested in French. 我〔变得〕对法语感爱好了。 I got angry with him. 我〔变得〕对他很生气。 〔3〕diet用于表示治疗某种疾病或调整体重的“特种饮食”、“规定饮食”时通常与on连用： The doctor put him on a strict diet. 医生让他严格把握饮食。 She is on a diet. 她正在节食。 I once went on a diet for a week and then I gave up. 我曾经节食过一周，然后就放弃了。 2．First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.首先，他开列了一张长长的单子，上面列了全部禁吃的食物。 〔1〕first of all为固定短语，表示“首先”、“第一”： First of all I must see your passport. 首先我必需看一下你的护照。 〔2〕write out这个短语表示“〔正式〕写”、“写出”或“全部写出”： You should write out a report. 你应当写一份报告。 3．The list included most of the things Hugh loves…这张单子上的大多数食物都是休宠爱吃的…… It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets! 里面装了5大块巧克力和3袋糖果！ include和contain都有“包含”的意思，但contain可以用于表示所包含的全部事物，include那么只表示其中的一局部： It included three bags of sweets. 其中有3袋糖果。〔另外还有其他东西〕 contain的主语通常为某个容器，inc
