12.Balanced Diet
平衡膳食
Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, which served delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic . But his food and discount attracted fewer and fewer customers. Finally, he was in debt. Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant served fresh peas, carrots, eggplants, and raw cucumbers with vinegar. As the hostess, she said fibres benefit ed customers' digestion the most. In order not to let Yong Hui get away with telling lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui despite her glare. But he was surprised that she was losing her customers, too.
王鵬經營一家燒烤餐廳來謀生，他的餐廳供應美味的臘肉、油炸的雞胸，還有用
辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。但是，他的食物和折扣吸引的顧客越來越少，最後是他負債累累。永慧的減肥餐廳供應的是新鮮的豌豆、紅蘿蔔、茄子和 醋醃的生黃瓜。作為老闆娘（女主人），她總是說食物纖維才最有利於顧客的消化。為了不讓永慧說了謊不受懲罰，王鵬不顧她的怒視，前去探查個究竟。但是讓他驚奇的是，永慧的顧客也在嚴重地流失。Curiosity drove Wang Peng to consult an expert. The expert sighed and said, “Both of your menus have weakness and limited strength. Your customers put on weight too easily, while Yong Hui’s lose weight too quickly. So, Wang Peng, cut down the fat of your food and increase vegetables and fruits, like nuts, beans, mushrooms, peaches and lemon s. You ought to combine the two menus and provide a balanced diet.”
好奇心驅使王鵬去諮詢專家。那位專家嘆息著說：“你們倆的菜單都缺點明顯、優點有限。你的顧客很容易就發胖，而永慧的顧客體重卻 減輕得太快。所以嘛，王鵬，你要減少你的食物中的脂肪含量，增加蔬菜和水果，例如堅果、豆類、蘑菇、桃子和檸檬之類。你應該把兩份菜單結合起來，給顧客提供平衡的膳食。”
Before long, Wang Peng won his customers back.
不久，王鵬就贏回了他的顧客。
