eating out of boredom排遣式­进食(p1iqi2n sh# j#nsh!)

A: Long time no see. I notice you’ve gotten a lot fatter recently.好久不见,我发现你最近好像胖了­不少呢。(h2oji^ b%ji3n, w6 f`xi3n n@ zu#j#n h2oxi3ng p3ng le b&sh2o ne.)

B: Really? It’s because I have too much time at work. Every day I just sit at the office, watch movies and eat snacks. Before

I knew it I got a lot more fat on my body.真的吗?都怪我那个工作太清闲­了,我每天没事就坐在办公­室里看看电影吃点零食,不知不觉就囤积了好多­脂肪。(zh8n de ma? d4u gu3i w6 n3g- g4ngzu7 t3i q~ngxi1n le, w6 m0iti`n m9ish# ji& zu7 z3i b3ng4ng sh# l@ k3nk3n di3ny@ng ch~di2n l!ngsh!, b& zh~ b& ju9 ji& t%nj~ le h2odu4 zh~f1ng.)

A: You can’t really blame your job for that, can you?这还能怪你的工作? (zh- h1in9ng gu3i n@ de g4ngzu7?)

B: Of course. This is what we call eating out of boredom. I keep eating because I’m bored. If I were busier, I wouldn’t have gotten so fat!当然了,这就叫排遣式进食,就是因为太无聊才一直­吃,如果忙一点就不会长胖­了!
