We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner the most enjoyable. It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family. But what about lunch? 我们被教导说早餐是一天中最重要的一餐,而晚餐则是最愉快的一餐,它是一次进行社交联谊或与家人欢聚的良机。但是午餐呢? In today's fast-paced society, few people take time to enjoy this midday meal. Most of us just rush right through it. 在当今快节奏的社会中,很少有人花时间去享受午餐。我们中的大多数人只是凑合一下而已。 We grab a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers. Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the corner, we just skip lunch. 我们随便吃几口速食沙拉,或是买个三明治,然后在电脑前解决掉。有时,一旦工作大限将至,我们甚至都顾不上吃午饭。 The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either. We are constantly distracted by e-mail, social media, and 24-hour news. 科技的发展也没有对我们的饮食习惯起到什么好作用。我们不断被电子邮件、社交媒体和24小时资讯所烦扰。 Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves. 甚至当坐下来吃午饭时,我们也无暇顾及自身,而是将更多的精力花在手持电子设备上了。 |
