Fast Food

快餐
In present-day China, fast food is so popular, especially among children and teenagers, that it can be seen in every big and medium-sized city. It’s even difficult to think of any other single thing that represents the fast pace of modern society in the way that fast food does. Some people think it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal—saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. In their opinions, its popularity is also attributed to the restaurants’ clean and cozy environment, excellent service, and guaranteed quality of food and drinks.

在當(dāng)今的中國,快餐非常受歡迎,尤其是兒童和青少年，這在每一個大、中型城市中都可以看出來。很難想到除了快餐還有別的任何其他單一的事物能代表現(xiàn)代社會的快節(jié)奏。有些人認(rèn)為快餐很方便而且為他們節(jié)約了很多時(shí)間�，F(xiàn)代社會的潮流似乎都指向一個終極目標(biāo)，那就是節(jié)約時(shí)間,快餐正好迎合了這個目標(biāo)。他們認(rèn)為快餐的流行也歸因于餐廳干凈、舒適的環(huán)境,優(yōu)質(zhì)的服務(wù),有質(zhì)量保證的食物和飲料。

However, others maintain that fast food is usually low in nutrition and can’t be regarded as a balanced diet. For example, doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Besides, although cooking at home is time-consuming and the following washing-up tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body needs and likes.

然而,另外一些人認(rèn)為快餐通常是低營養(yǎng)、不能視為均衡飲食。例如，醫(yī)生建議人們，特別是孩子，盡可能少吃快餐。此外,雖然在家里做飯是耗時(shí)的,而且洗碗也很無聊，但它給你的身體提供了所需并喜歡的健康、美味食物。

As far as I’m concerned, fast food is not my best choice. For one thing, I prefer traditional spicy Chinese food. For another, being engaged in the work all day, I may spend one or two hours to prepare my favorite dishes to ensure myself a nice rest. As a result, fast food is only a good choice when I am in a hurry and resort to it once in a while.

在我看來,快餐不是我最好的選擇。首先,我喜歡傳統(tǒng)的的中國菜。另一方面,從事一整天的工作,我可能會花一兩個小時(shí)來準(zhǔn)備我最喜歡的菜來確保自己得到很好的休息。因此,快餐僅僅是我匆忙和度假時(shí)的好選擇。
