    【Text】
    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! 參考譯文
    我的朋友休一直很胖, 但是近來(lái)情況變得越發(fā)糟糕, 以致他決定節(jié)食. 他是一星期前開(kāi)始節(jié)食的. 首先, 他開(kāi)列了一張長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的單子, 上面列了所有禁吃的食物. 這張單子上的大多數(shù)食物都是休喜歡吃的 : 黃油、土豆、米飯、啤酒、牛奶、巧克力和糖果. 昨天我去看望了他. 我按響了門鈴. 當(dāng)看到休仍和往常一樣胖時(shí), 我并不感到驚奇. 他把我領(lǐng)進(jìn)屋, 慌忙把一個(gè)大包藏到了桌子下面. 顯然他感到很尷尬. 當(dāng)我問(wèn)他正干什么時(shí), 他內(nèi)疚地笑了, 然后把那個(gè)大包拿到了桌上. 他解釋說(shuō), 他的飲食控制得太嚴(yán)格了, 以致不得不偶爾獎(jiǎng)賞自己一下. 接著他給我看了包里的東西. 里面裝了5大塊巧克力和3袋糖果!
    【課文講解】
    1、My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.
    things(要用復(fù)數(shù)形式)可以表示“情況,情形,狀況,形勢(shì)”等含義:
     You’re surely made things worse.
     How are things going on with you?
    get作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)可以表示“變得”:
     I got interested in French.
    diet用于表示治療某種疾病或調(diào)節(jié)體重的“特種飲食”、“規(guī)定飲食”時(shí)通常與on連用:
     The doctor put him on a strict diet. 醫(yī)生讓他嚴(yán)格控制飲食。
     I once went on a diet for a week and then I gave up.
    2、First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.
