范文

　　Global obesity is a negative trend with very serious consequences. The causes of worldwide obesity are easy to identify. The most obvious one is that restaurants often offer patrons large meals loaded with calories, especially in North America. Another cause is that people are reluctant to exercise every day and thus burn off the calories. Given these factors, obesity has turned into a huge problem.

　　With so many health problems resulting from being overweight, global obesity needs to be addressed. Governments need to step in and conduct public awareness campaigns to discourage overeating and not exercising. Various means can be adopted to achieve this goal. Furthermore, governments should actively establish clinics that offer nutritional and weight loss advice to the public. Only by taking concerted and direct actions like these can the problem of global obesity be tackled.

　　全球肥胖是一项带有极其严重后果的负面趋势。全球肥胖的原因相当显而易见。最明显的莫过于餐厅经常提供顾客充满高热量的巨无霸餐，尤其是在北美洲。另外一个原因就是人们不愿意每天运动来消耗热量。考虑到这些因素，肥胖已俨然变成一个重大的问题。

　　由于许多健康问题都是由体重过重所导致，因此全球肥胖的现象必须设法解决。政府必须介入处理并推动公共倡导活动来劝阻暴食和不运动的情形。为了达成这个目标，有各种方式可以采用。不仅如此，政府应该积极兴建能提供民众营养及减重咨询的诊所。唯有藉由采取像这样同心一致而直接的手段才能解决全球肥胖的问题。

　　Global obesity is a negative trend with alarming consequences. The reasons for worldwide obesity are simple to identify. One of the major causes is that restaurants often offer patrons supersized meals loaded with calories. Another is that people don't have the time or energy to exercise every day. Given these factors, it is no surprise that obesity has become the problem it is today.

　　With so many health problems resulting from people being overweight, global obesity needs to be addressed now. Governments all over the world need to step in and conduct public awareness campaigns to discourage overeating and not exercising. Various means can be utilized to achieve this goal of getting people healthier. Governments should also set up affordable clinics that offer nutritional and weight loss advice to the general public. Only by taking concerted and direct actions like these can the problem of global obesity be solved.

　　全球肥胖是一项有着令人担忧后果的负面趋势。全球肥胖的原因相当显而易见。其中一项主因就是餐厅通常提供顾客充满高热量的巨无霸餐。另外一个原因则为人们没有时间或力气每天运动。考虑到这些因素，肥胖想当然尔变成如今的问题。

　　由于许多健康问题都是由人们的体重过重所导致，因此全球肥胖问题必须即刻解决。全世界的政府必须介入处理并推动公共倡导活动来劝阻暴食和不运动的情形。为了达成改善人民健康的目标，各种方法都可以加以利用。政府也应该建设诊所，好让一般大众能以负担得起的费用得到营养及减重的咨询。唯有藉由采取像这样同心一致而直接的手段才能解决全球肥胖问题。
