myth:n.神话;虚构的人,虚构的事;
Americans have been told to eat less fat, the percent of calories from fat is down, 美国人已经知道需要少吃脂肪, 从脂肪中摄取的卡路里所占的百分比已经下降,
Americans are fatter than ever, therefore fat doesn’t make you fat. 美国人却比以前更胖,所以脂肪并不是让你肥胖的因素。
It’s a half-truth . Actually, Americans are eating more fat than ever, and even more carbs. And so the percentage is lower, the actual amount is higher, and so the goal is to reduce both. 这说对了一半。实际上,美国人摄取的脂肪比以前任何时候都多, 而碳水化合物更多。所以虽然从脂肪中摄取的卡路里占总数的百分比下降, 但其实际摄入数量却更高了,所以我们的目标是两者都要减少。

Dr. Atkins and I debated each other many times before he died, and we agreed that Americans eat too many simple carbs, the "bad carbs," and these are things like -- 阿特金斯博士在去世之前和我曾多次辩论, 我们都同意美国人吃了太多的单一碳水化合物, 即“不好的碳水化合物”,诸如——

So we took some of their blood serum and sent it down to UCLA; they added it to a standard line of prostate tumor cells growing in tissue culture, and it inhibited the growth seven times more in the experimental group than in the control group -- 70 versus 9 percent. 于是我们提取了一些血清样本,送到洛杉矶加利福尼亚大学, 他们把样本加入一排标准的含有正在生长的肿瘤细胞的组织培养液中, 实验组的样本对肿瘤细胞生长的抑制作用是控制组的7倍, 两者的数据分别是百分之70和百分之9.

tumors:n.肿瘤(tumor的复数);
And finally, we did MRI and MR spectroscopy scans on some of these patients, and the tumor activity is shown in red in this patient, and you can see clearly it’s better a year later, along with the PSA going down. 最后,我们对其中一些病人做了核磁共振成像和核磁共振光谱检测, 这个病人的肿瘤活跃度显示为红色, 你可以清楚地看到,情况要比一年前更好,PSA值也同时下降。
