问题6至10基于对话2

M:Childhood obesity remains one of the largest public health problems in our country.

童年肥胖仍然是我国最大的公共卫生问题之一。

There have been a number of major campaigns to combat it. And today, those efforts got a big boost.

已经开展了多场大规模的抗击艾滋病运动。而今天，这些努力得到了极大的推动。

The rate of obesity among children 2 to 5 years old has dropped from about 14 percent in 2004 to 8 percent in 2012.

2至5岁儿童肥胖率已从2004年的14%左右下降到2012年的8%。

The Child Healthcare Foundation has been a key player in all of this. Its president, Rita Merton, joins me now. So welcome to you, Rita.

儿童医疗保健基金会一直是这一切的关键角色。它的主席，丽塔默顿，现在和我一起。所以欢迎你，丽塔

W:Hello,Mark. Hello,everyone.

W:你好，马克。大家好。

M: Well, as a starting point, what do you think has worked so far?

M:那么，作为一个起点，你认为目前为止有哪些方法行之有效？

W:Well, we have focused on three areas, three very strategic areas that we think will make a difference.

W:嗯，我们专注于三个领域，三个非常具有战略意义的领域，我们认为这些领域将产生影响。

First, ensuring that children have a healthy weight when they start school.

第一，确保孩子在入学时拥有健康的体重。

We know that if children start kindergarten at a healthy weight, they have a higher probability of maintaining that weight throughout their childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.

我们知道，如果孩子以健康的体重开始上幼儿园，他们在整个童年、青春期和成年期保持这种体重的概率就会更高。

M:Mmm.What is the second area?

嗯。第二个区域是什么？

W:The second area is we need to make sure that healthy schools are the norm and no exception, because kids spend more time at school than any place else other than home.

W:第二个方面是，我们需要确保健康的学校是常态，没有例外，因为孩子们在学校的时间比在家以外的任何地方都多。

Third,we have to make sure that kids are physically active and they have safe places where they can be physically active.

第三，我们必须确保孩子们有体育活动，并且他们有安全的地方可以进行体育活动。

M: And what about parents? What are they supposed to do?

M:那父母呢？他们该怎么办？

W:Well, we have to make sure that healthy foods are available in the community so that parents can prepare healthy meals for their children.

W:嗯，我们必须确保社区里有健康的食物，这样父母就可以为他们的孩子准备健康的饭菜。

And finally,by any means, we need to make sure that we eliminate sugar sweetened drinks for children 0 to 5 years old.

最后，无论如何，我们需要确保我们消除0至5岁儿童的含糖饮料。

Toddlers and young children simply have more healthy options to drink than sugar sweetened ones.

与含糖饮料相比，婴幼儿饮用含糖饮料更健康。

So we want to engage children and youth and parents and the healthcare community in working on these three big strategies because we think that will make a difference.

因此，我们希望让儿童、青年、家长和医疗保健界参与到这三大战略中来，因为我们认为这将带来改变。

M:Okay, then what are the biggest barriers to achieving those three things?

M:好吧，那么实现这三件事的最大障碍是什么？

W:Well, one of the key things that we have seen is that communities that are challenged economically are having more difficulty investing in these kinds of strategies.

W:嗯，我们看到的一个关键问题是，在经济上受到挑战的社区在投资于这类战略方面遇到了更多的困难。

M:And we do see disparities among some communities, right?

M:我们确实看到一些社区之间的差异，对吗？

W: Yes, we have seen much more progress among children of higher income families.

W:是的，我们看到高收入家庭的孩子有更多的进步。

But then there are places that have been able to demonstrate across the board reductions in obesity rates among all children of various groups.

但有些地方已经能够全面证明不同群体的所有儿童肥胖率都有所下降。

So we know it can be done if people come together and employ a comprehensive approach like those three strategies that I mentioned.

因此，我们知道，如果人们团结起来，采用像我提到的这三种策略那样的综合性方法，是可以做到的。

M: And just briefly,in a word, what's the ultimate goal in 10 years?

M:简单说一句话，十年后的最终目标是什么？

W: The ultimate goal is...is to ensure that every child in this country has had the opportunity to grow up at a healthy weight, no matter where he or she lives and who they are.

W:最终目标是......确保这个国家的每个孩子都有机会以健康的体重成长，不管他或她住在哪里，也不管他们是谁。

M:Alright,Rita,thanks so much.

好的，丽塔，非常感谢。

W:Thank you,Mark. It's a pleasure to be here.

W:谢谢你，马克。很高兴来到这里。
