On Coca-Cola and Dieting

关于可口可乐和节食减肥

“I would say I’ve been eating things I like to eat all my life. And Coca-Cola(ko, +0.46%), this Coca-Cola 12 ounces, I drink about five a day. It has about 1.2 ounces of sugar in it. And if you look at what different people get their sugar and calories from, they get them from all kinds of things. I happen to believe I like to get my calories from this, I enjoy it … If you told me that I would live one year longer—and I don’t think I would—if I’d live one year longer if I ate only broccoli or asparagus or whatever, or if I eat what I like including Coca-Colas and steak and hash browns, I’d rather eat what I like and enjoy eating what I like than eat something I don’t and live another year.

“我想说，我这一辈子都在吃自己喜欢的东西。可口可乐，这种12盎司装的可口可乐，我一天要喝五罐。其中大概有1.2盎司的糖。去看看别人如何摄取糖类和卡路里，你会发现来源各不一样。我认为我喜欢从可乐中获取卡路里，我喜欢这样……如果你告诉我，只吃西蓝花或芦笋或其他什么东西，就能比摄取我喜欢的可口可乐、牛排、土豆煎饼等多活一年的话（而且我也不认为这样就能多活），那我宁愿选择吃我喜欢的，享受吃的过程，而不是再多活一年。”

“And I do think that choice should be mine. Maybe sugar is harmful and maybe you’d encourage the government to ban sugar … But I think Coca-Cola has been a very positive factor in the country and the world. And I really don’t want anyone telling me I can’t drink it. I think there’s something in longevity of feeling happy about your life.”

“而且我确实认为选择权应该在我。也许糖类有害，也许你想呼吁政府禁止糖类……但我认为可口可乐对于美国和世界都有正面的影响。而且我真的不希望有人说我不能喝可乐。我觉得活得高兴也是长寿的因素之一。”

我宁愿吃着我喜欢的，并且享受吃的过程，而不是吃着我不喜欢的东西然后多活一年。
