精彩导读

戴安娜王妃生前常大摆宴席，却保持了苗条的身材。秘密何在？

After struggling with bulimia（暴食症） for years， Princess Diana came back healthier than ever.

When you think of a royal dinner party， you probably think of multifarious foods. Things were no different for Princess Diana， who would throw dinner parties in her home even after she and Prince Charles divorced. Yet she somehow managed to keep healthy.

After getting treated for bulimia， Princess Diana was determined to stick with a healthy diet. She hired Darren McGrady， whod previously been royal chef for Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ， to cook for her in Kensington Palace.

Instead of making the rich food he cooked in Buckingham Palace， McGrady had a new mission （使命）： Keep it healthy. “She said， ‘You take care of the fats， and Ill take care of the carbohydrate（碳水化合物） at the gym，’” he said. That meant no red meat， and eating nutritious （有营养的） dishes.

“Princess Diana would treat herself to favorites， like bread and butter pudding， every now and then， but in general she kept up a strict diet，” said McGrady. Even during parties， shed manage to stick with light meals. Dianas plate would look just like everyone elses， but they wouldnt leave her overweight. So what was her secret？

“There were times when guests came for meals， and they would be eating full-fat foods but she would have the fat-free food，” said McGrady. “So if she wanted to serve tomato mousse （慕斯）， shed make hers with fat-free mayonnaise （蛋黄酱） but the dish for everyone else is the traditional recipe. But the guests had no idea there were two kinds of foods. It looked like she was eating just as much as they were， but her portion was lower in calories.”

【点石成金】这里考查的是非限制性定语从句，又因为定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词是人，所以应该使用who引导。

Bulimia

暴 食 症

Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating （暴食） followed by purging（净化）. Binge eating refers to eating a large amount of food in a short amount of time. Purging refers to the attempts to get rid of the food consumed. This may be done by vomitting （呕吐） or taking laxatives （轻泻药）. Other efforts to lose weight may include the use of diuretics （利尿剂）， stimulants （兴奋剂）， water fasting， or excessive （过度的） exercise. Most people with bulimia are at a normal weight.

暴食症是一种饮食失调，其特征是暴食，其次是净化。暴食指的是在很短的时间内吃大量的食物。净化指的是试图摆脱所消耗的食物而做出的努力。这可以通过呕吐或服用泻药来实现。其他减肥的方法可能包括使用利尿剂、兴奋剂、禁食或过度锻炼。大多数患有暴食症的人体重正常。
