我可怎么办啊,又胖了,上个月买的衣服现在就穿不上了!
wǒ kě zěnme bàn a,yòu pàng le,shàng ge yuè mǎi de yīfu xiànzài jiù chuān bù shàng le!
Agh, what am I supposed to do? I've gotten fat again! I can't even fit into the clothes I bought last month!
Oh, same here. I get fat just drinking cold water. Lazy food-lovers like us definitely can't keep to a diet or exercise regimen. How about we take some weight-loss medicine?
Great! If you take weight-loss drugs, you lose weight quickly. Let's hurry up and check it out. It's come up. Huh? There are so many kinds of weight-loss drugs. There are some that suppress your appetite, some that suppress your ability to absorb fat, and some that speed up your excretion. Well, which kind should we take?
这个抑制食欲的不适合我们,没胃口太不舒服了;那个抑制脂肪吸收的,听起来还不错;加速排泄的也行。
zhè ge yìzhì shíyù de bù shìhé wǒmen,méi wèi kǒu tài bù shūfu le;nàge yìzhì zhīfáng xīshōu de,tīng qǐlai hái bùcuò;jiāsù páixiè de yě xíng。
The kind that suppresses your appetite isn't right for us. Having no appetite is really uncomfortable. The one that suppresses your fat absorption sounds really good. The one that speeds up your excretion would be OK, too.
