Cold Truths

冰箱真相

 

Is there any truth behind the saying “You are what you eat”? We put this to the test by asking five people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles. Can you guess which fridge belongs to which person? Maybe you can recognise your own fridge here!

 

俗话说“人如其食”，这是真的吗？为了检验这句话，我们邀请五个人打开自己的冰箱，聊聊他们的生活方式。你能猜出哪个冰箱属于哪个人吗？也许你能在这里看到自家冰箱的影子哦！

 

Ellie 24 埃莉 24岁

Junior doctor 实习医生

 

There’s not enough room to swing a cat in my small apartment, so I don’t cook very often. My fridge is usually half empty and I’m often too tired to eat much anyway. I often end up saving part of my meal for the next day. Some evenings, I’ll just have something quick, like toast, or even just a yoghurt with honey. As a doctor, I know I had better change the way I eat, but I just don’t have the time or the energy right now.

 

我的小公寓连转身的空间都没有，所以我不常做饭。我的冰箱通常都是半空的，反正我也经常累得吃不下多少。我经常会把一部分饭菜留到第二天吃。有的晚上，我会只吃些速食，比如吐司，或者只是酸奶配蜂蜜。作为医生，我知道我最好改变这种饮食方式，但我现在完全没有时间和精力。

 

Jenny 31 珍妮 31岁

Teacher 教师

 

My husband and I avoid all products that come from animals. This means we don’t eat meat, and any milk or cheese had better be dairy-free. We like cooking at home and make our meals from fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Cooking together gives us a chance to relax and catch up on each other’s days. If we have children, I want to bring them up just like us, but my husband says that everyone should be able to make their own lifestyle choices.

 

我和我的丈夫什么动物制品都不吃。这意味着我们不吃肉，牛奶或奶酪也最好不是动物乳制成的。我们喜欢在家做饭，用新鲜的时令水果和蔬菜来做饭。一起做饭给了我们放松的机会，也让我们聊聊彼此日常的情况。如果有了孩子，我想按照我们的生活方式养育他们，但我丈夫说，每个人都应该有权利选择自己的生活方式。

 

Ted 35 特德 35岁

Construction worker 建筑工人

 

Each day at the construction site is more or less the same—tiring! When I get back home, there’s nothing more satisfying than a big meat dinner. I guess l’ve always been a big meat eater and in this house, no family meal is complete without some form of meat. I still don’t think that anything can beat my mum’s homemade sausages, though.

 

建筑工地上每天都差不多——累！回家后，什么都比不上一顿肉食大餐更让人满意了。我想我一直都挺爱吃肉的，在我家没有一顿饭菜是没有肉的。不过，我还是觉得什么也比不得上我妈妈做的香肠。

 

Mike 49 迈克 49岁

Chef 厨师

 

With five children, we’re one big family! My wife and I both work full-time, so life can get pretty busy! Like a lot of chefs I know, I don’t really do much cooking at home. Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week, we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food. I know we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, but ready meals are so convenient.

我们有五个孩子，是一个大家庭！我和妻子都有全职工作，所以日子过得相当忙碌！就像我认识的许多厨师一样，我在家里并不怎么做饭。有时我会从上班的餐馆带一些吃的回来。我们每周一次大采购，会买很多速冻食品。我知道我们应该多吃新鲜水果和蔬菜，但是即食食品真的非常方便。

 

Max 19 马克斯 19岁

College student 大学生

 

There are five of us living in our shared student house. My mum says I need to have three healthy meals a day, but I’m too busy studying and meeting friends! We don’t really buy fresh food, and I suppose the fridge could be kind of cleaner... I daren’t let my mum see this photo!

我们五个人共住一间学生公寓。妈妈常说，一日三餐要吃得健康，但我的学习和社交生活太忙了！我们不怎么买新鲜的食物，而且我觉得冰箱应该再干净点儿……我可不敢让我妈妈看到这张照片！
