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!

我的朋友休一直很胖，但是这个事情现在变的有点糟糕，以至于他打算开始节食。他开始节食一周之前。首先，他写出一张长长的列表，上面所有的食物是要拒绝吃的。这张列表包含很多休的挚爱：黄油，土豆，米饭，啤酒，牛奶，巧克力，还有糖果。昨天，我去他家参观。我按响门铃，毫无意外的＊＊看起来还是那么胖。他让我进来并且慌忙将一包东西迅速藏在桌子下面。先让他看觉得很不好意思。当我问起他在干嘛，他内疚的笑着将东西拿到桌面上。他解释到他的节食行动很辛苦以至于他要偶尔奖励一下自己。最后，他给我看了他那包东西。这里面有五块大巧克力和三包糖果！
