Larry: I'm starving, Lihua! What should we eat for dinner today?

LH: 晚飯？只要不吃你的最愛 - 漢堡包和薯條 - 就行！

Larry: What are you talking about? I wasn't planning on eating fast food!

LH: 我才不信呢。不是漢堡包，那一定是炸雞！

Larry: Nope. Lihua, I know I used to eat a lot of unhealthy fast food in the past, but now I've turned a new leaf - I'm never going to eat fast food again!

LH: You turned a leaf？什么意思？

Larry: To turn a new leaf means to start over fresh - to totally get rid of bad habits and start over new again.

LH: 哦，to turn a new leaf，就是甩掉壞習(xí)慣，從頭開始，

Larry: Right. Lately, my bad eating habits have been making me feel just awful. So, I decided to turn a new leaf and start eating only fresh, healthy foods - starting today.

LH: 你說，因為你一直吃垃圾食品，感覺身體狀態(tài)很差，所以你要痛改前非，從今天開始吃健康食品！太好了， Larry！

Larry: Lihua, I have been gaining a little weight lately... But, that will all change now that I turned a new leaf and started living a healthy lifestyle!

LH: 哈，你要從頭開始，過健康生活！Larry, 你真能做到么？

Larry: No problem, Lihua! When I make a decision, I stay with it!

LH: 是么？我昨天剛買了一大袋你最喜歡的薯片，既然你已經(jīng)走上了健康生活之路。這些薯片，就由我替你消滅吧！

Larry: Ah? You mean, you bought some Lays Double - Cheese and Sour Cream Potato Chips?

LH: 對啊，就是你最喜歡吃的，雙層奶酪加酸奶油口味！好可惜啊，早知道你turned a new leaf, 我就不浪費錢了。

Larry: Well, wait a minute, Lihua. We can't just let your money go to waste. Maybe I can just eat a little bit now to hold me over until we have dinner...

LH: 什么？你想在吃飯前先來些薯片墊墊底？你剛才還說從今天起再也不吃垃圾食品了呢！

Larry: Oh, Lihua! But I can't just turn a whole new leaf all at once - that would be too difficult. Maybe I can just take baby steps towards my goal.

LH: 你是說，你不可能一下子把生活方式全改變，所以得take baby steps。我猜，這就是慢慢來，循序漸進，對么？
