Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant
feeling very frustrated.
王鹏做在他
那空荡荡的餐馆里，感到很沮丧。
It had
been a very strange morning.
这个上午真是怪的很。
Usually he got up early and prepared
his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs,roast
pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried
rice.
通常他很早就起床，准备他的菜肴
—
烤
羊肉串、烤猪肉、炒菜和炒饭。然后到午饭时分，这些菜都会卖完。
Then by lunchtime they would
all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be
full
of people. But not today!
< br>到了这个时候，他的餐馆本该宾客盈门的，但今天却
不是！
Why was that? What could have
happened?
为什么会这样？发生了什么事？
He thought of his mutton, beef and
bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His
cola was sugary and cold, and his ice
cream was made of milk, cream and delicious
fruit.
他想起了他用滚烫的精制油烹制的羊肉串、牛排
和腊肉。他的可乐又甜
又冷，冰激凌用牛奶、奶油和水果制成的。
hurrying by.
他想
：
“
再没有比这些更好吃的了
”
。
突然间，
他看到自己的朋友李
昌匆匆地走过。
1
was the matter? Something
terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not
coming
to eat in his restaurant as he
always did.
他喊道，
“
喂，老李！你还是吃老一套的
吧？
”
可
是李昌似乎没有听到。怎么会事呢？要是李昌不像往常那样到他店里
吃饭，那问题一定严
重了。
Wang
Peng followed Li Chang into a new small
restaurant.
王鹏跟着李昌来到
街尾一家新开张的
小餐馆。
He saw a sign in the
window.
窗子上的标牌写着这样一些字：
Tired of all that fat? Want to lose
weight? “
肥腻的东西吃厌了吧！想变瘦吗？
Come inside Yong Hui’s
slimming restaurant.
请到雍慧减肥餐馆来。
Only slimming foods served here.
此地只供应减肥食品，
Make yourself thin
again!
让你恢复苗条！
”
Curiosity drove Wang
Peng inside. It was full of people.
王鹏受
到好奇心的驱
使，走了进去。里面坐满了人。
The hostess, a very thin lady, came
forward.
店老板，一个清瘦的女人走上前
来说道。<
/p>
in two weeks if
you eat here every day.
：
“
欢迎光临！我叫雍慧。您要是每天来
这儿用餐，我可以保证在两周内去
掉您的全部脂肪，
”
Then
she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few
choices of food and drink
on it:
然后，她递给王鹏一张菜谱，菜谱上有很少几样食物和饮料：
2
just rice, raw
vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water.
米饭、蘸醋吃的生
蔬菜、水果和水。
Wang Peng was amazed at this and
especially at the prices.
王鹏对此感到吃惊，
特别是对它们的价格。
It cost
more than a good meal in his restaurant!
这比在他的餐馆里吃一顿好饭
花的钱还要多。
He could not believe his eyes.
他几乎不能相信他的眼睛！
He
threw down the menu and hurried
outside.
他甩了菜谱就急急往外走。
On his way home he thought about his
own menu.
在回家的路上，他想起了自
己的菜谱。
Did it make people fat?
那些菜让人发胖了吗？
Perhaps he should go to the library and
find out.
也许他该去图书馆查查看。
He could not have Yong Hui getting
away with telling people lies!
他可不能让
雍慧哄骗人们后跑掉。
He had better do some research!
他最好做一番调查！
At the library Wang Peng was surprised
to find that his restaurant served far
too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too
little.
在图书馆，王鹏很惊讶地发现，他
餐馆的食物脂肪含量太高，而雍慧餐馆的食物脂肪含量又太低。
Even though her customers might get
thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they
were not eating enough energy-giving
food to keep them fit.
尽管顾客吃她的餐馆
3
里的饭会变得苗条，
但他们摄取不到足够的热量来保持健康，
很快就会感到疲
乏。
They would become tired very quickly.
Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove
back
home.
开车回家时，王鹏觉得又有了希望。
Perhaps with a discount and a new sign
he could win his customers back. So he wrote:
也许写个新的标牌、打点折，能够帮他赢回顾客！于是他写下了他的标牌：
Want to feel fit and
energetic?
“
想保持苗条、健康又精力旺盛吗？
Come and eat here!
Discounts today!
到这里来用餐吧！今天打折！
Our food gives you energy all day!
我们的食物能够给您提供一整天所需的
热量！
”
The competition between the two
restaurants was on!
这两家餐馆之间的竞
争开始了！
COME AND EAT
HERE(2)
到这里来用餐吧（

）
A
week later, Wang Peng' s restaurant was nearly
full and he felt happier.
一周
后，王鹏的餐馆几乎坐满了人，他感到高兴些了。
Perhaps he would be able to earn his
living after all and not have to close his
restaurant.
也许他仍然能够谋生，而不至于关闭自己的餐馆。
He did not look forward to being in
debt because his restaurant was no longer
popular.
