大家好，这里是BBC英语教学的《六分钟英语》节目，我是乔治。

Hello. This is six Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Georgie.

我是菲尔。乔治，你今天吃早餐了吗？还是跳过了？

And I'm Phil. Did you have any breakfast today, Georgie? Or did you skip it?

我确实吃了些早餐。在来办公室的路上，我买了个点心和一杯咖啡。你呢？

I did have some breakfast. On the way to the office, I got myself a pastry and a coffee. What about you?

我早上6点喝了一大碗粥，但现在又饿了。你可能也很快就会饿，因为我们要讨论早餐。早餐有多重要？让我们先听听营养学教授亚历山德拉·约翰斯顿的见解，她曾接受BBC国际频道《食物链》节目主持人露丝·亚历山大的采访。

I had a big bowl of porridge, but it was at 06:00 this morning, so I'm hungry again now. And you might soon be hungry as well, because we're going to talk about breakfast. How important is it? Let's start by hearing from Professor Alexandra Johnston, a nutrition scientist who spoke to Ruth Alexander, host of BBC World Service programme, The Food Chain.

我支持'早餐吃得像国王，晚餐吃得像乞丐'这个梗。

I am supporting the meme breakfast like a king and dying like a pauper.

那么对你来说，早餐是一天中最重要的一餐。

For you then, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

我同意。这确实非常重要，特别是对那些想保持健康体重或试图减肥的人来说。

I agree. So it's really important, particularly for people who are trying to maintain a healthy weight and people who are trying to lose weight.

亚历山德拉说你应该'早餐吃得像国王，晚餐吃得像乞丐'。'乞丐'是对穷人的旧式称呼。这个谚语的意思是早餐要丰盛，晚餐要简单。

Alexandra says that you should breakfast like a king and dine like a pauper. Pauper is an old fashioned word for a very poor person. The expression means have a big breakfast and a small dinner.

我们将探讨亚历山德拉和其他专家推荐这种做法的部分原因。

We're going to find out some of the reasons that Alexandra and other experts recommend doing this.

和往常一样，我们会学到一些有用的新单词和短语。记得在我们的官网bbclearningenglish.com上可以找到所有词汇和测试题。

And as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases. And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary and a quiz on our website bbclearningenglish.com.

好的，但首先我有个问题要问你，菲尔。根据最近的一项调查，以下哪种是英国最受欢迎的早餐？是a)鸡蛋 b)吐司还是c)麦片？

Okay, but first I have a question for you, Phil. According to a recent survey, which of the following is the most popular breakfast in The UK? Is it a) eggs b) toast or c) cereal?

嗯，我觉得人们喜欢简单点，所以我会选吐司。

Well, think people like to keep it simple, so I'm going to say toast.

好的。我们稍后会在节目中揭晓答案。现在来听听为什么我们应该吃得像国王或女王一样丰盛。研究饮食行为的考特妮·彼得森在BBC国际频道的《食物链》节目中解释了时间如何影响身体对食物的处理。

Okay. Well, we'll find out the answer later in the program. Let's hear some reasons for why we should breakfast like a king or queen. Courtney Peterson, who researches eating behaviors, explains how the time of day affects how our bodies process food on BBC World's service programme, The Food Chain.

所以如果你能在早上吃一顿丰盛的早餐，或者我甚至可以说在上午吃一顿丰盛的午餐，你的身体会更好地代谢这些食物。这意味着你的血糖水平不会飙升得那么高。你可能会燃烧稍微更多的脂肪，可能会因为白天早些进食而消耗更多卡路里。而如果你把大部分食物放在一天中较晚的时候吃，你的新陈代谢实际上在一天中较晚的时候会更慢。例如，如果你在早上、下午或晚上吃同样的，比如说一碗冰淇淋，你的血糖水平在下午和晚上会显著飙升得更高。

And so if you can eat a large breakfast in the morning and or I would even say a large lunch in the morning, your body's gonna be better at metabolizing that food. And what that means is your body's gonna actually, your blood sugar levels won't spike as high. You might burn slightly more fat, you might burn slightly more calories from eating earlier in the day. Whereas if you had, if you eat most of your food later in the day, your metabolism's actually slower later in the day. So for instance, if you ate the same, I don't know, bowl of ice cream in the morning, the afternoon, in the evening, your blood sugar levels will spike significantly higher in the afternoon and the evening.

我们听到了名词metabolism（新陈代谢）。这个词指的是你体内的化学过程，我们最常用它来讨论将食物转化为能量的过程。我们还听到了动词形式'metabolise'（代谢）。

We heard the noun metabolism. This is a word that refers to the chemical processes in your body, and we most often use it to talk about those that convert food into energy. And we also heard the verb form 'metabolise'.

考特妮谈到了血糖水平飙升。spike（飙升）是一种尖锐的形状。如果你在线图上看到它，意味着某物非常迅速地增加。我们经常用名词spike来表示被测量值的突然增加。动词spike意思是突然增加。

Courtney talked about blood sugar levels spiking. A spike is a sharp pointed shape. If you see it on a line graph, it means that something has increased very rapidly. We often use the noun spike to mean a sudden increase in a value that is being measured. The verb spike means to suddenly increase.

我们听说在一天中较早进食可能对健康更有益。现在人们经常不吃早餐，有时是因为没时间，有时是为了省钱。让我们再次听听亚历山德拉·约翰斯顿教授在BBC国际频道《食物链》节目中的讲话。

We've heard that eating earlier in the day can be healthier for us. Now, people often don't eat breakfast, sometimes because they don't have time and sometimes because they're trying to save money. Let's hear again from Professor Alexandra Johnston talking to BBC World Services, The Food Chain.

现在谈谈不吃早餐的现象很有意思，根据我的研究以及大规模流行病学观察研究都表明，规律吃早餐的人往往更苗条。我的研究还发现，将一天中最丰盛的一餐放在早晨有助于更好地控制食欲，这意味着在当天晚些时候更容易控制食物摄入量。

Now breakfast skipping is interesting because my own work would tend to suggest, and that sort of observational large scale epidemiological studies would also support this that people who have a regular breakfast are actually leaner and my own work would tend to suggest that having your largest meal of the day in the morning period gives you a much better appetite control which then means it's much easier to control food intake later in the day.

亚历山德拉首先提到了不吃早餐。'跳过'某事意味着你不去做它。坏学生可能会逃课，他们不去上课。如果你跳过一餐，意思就是你不吃那顿饭。

Alexandra starts by mentioning breakfast skipping. If you skip something, then you don't do it. Bad students might skip lessons. They don't go to them. If you skip a meal, it means that you don't eat it.

我们还听说规律吃早餐的人更苗条。如果某人很lean（精瘦），那他们就不胖。

We also heard that people who have a regular breakfast are leaner. If someone is lean, then they're not fat.

给出的原因之一是这些人可能有更好的食欲控制能力。食欲控制是指你的大脑决定你应该吃多少。

And one of the reasons given why people might be leaner is that they have better appetite control. Appetite control is where your brain decides how much you should eat.

谢谢你乔治。现在我想是时候揭晓你问题的答案了。

Thanks Georgie. Now I think it's time that we heard the answer to your question.

确实如此。好的，我的问题是：根据最新调查，英国最受欢迎的早餐是什么？

Yes it is. Okay, I asked: according to a recent survey, what is the most popular breakfast in The UK?

我回答的是吐司。

And I said Toast.

在伦敦最受欢迎的是哪个，但全国范围内最受欢迎的是谷物食品。这是根据一家谷物食品制造商的调查得出的结论。恐怕你搞错了。好了，让我们回顾一下学过的词汇，从'pauper'开始，这是个旧式词汇，指非常贫穷的人。

Which was the most popular in London, but the most popular in the country as a whole was Cereal. And that's according to a survey by a cereal manufacturer. So I'm afraid you got it wrong. Okay, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned starting with pauper, which is an old fashioned word for a very poor person.

当我们谈论数据时，'spikes'指的是数据突然激增的情况。

When we're talking about data, it spikes when it increases suddenly.

'Metabolism'指的是你体内的化学过程，特别是那些处理食物的过程。

Metabolism refers to the chemical processes inside your body, especially those which process food.

如果你'skip'某件事，意思是你错过了它，没有做这件事。

If you skip something, you miss it. You don't do it.

如果一个人'lean'，那么他们就不胖。

If someone is lean, then they are not fat.

最后，'appetite control'是指你的大脑如何决定你应该吃多少。我们的六分钟又到了，但何不前往我们的网站bbclearningenglish.com尝试本集的测验和工作表呢？很快再见。

And finally, appetite control is how your brain decides how much you should eat. Once again, our six minutes are up, but why not head over to our website bbclearningenglish.com to try the quiz and worksheet for this episode. See you again soon.

再见。

Goodbye.
