含泪再跪求英文高手译此文TT TT
Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese,and childhood obesity has tripled in the past three decades.Nearly 18 percent of diabetes,heart disease and other ailments.Looking at the price tag may help policymakers weigh the value of spending to prevent and fight obesity ,said Schulman,pointing to factors like dietary changes over the past 30 years and physical environments that discourage physical activity.
"We're paying a very high price as a society for obesity,and why don't we think about it as a man-on-the -moon effort to solve this before those poor kids in elementary school become diabetic middleaged people."
A major study published last year found medical spending averages US$1400 more a year for the obese than normal-weight people.
The study released this week adds to it by stating that mostly work-related costs--things like sick days and disability claims--related to those problems.
It also included a quirky finding by researchers.They calculated that nearly 3.8 billion litres of additional gasoline are used every year because of increases in car
passengers'weights since 1960.
The latest study was financed by one of the manufacturers of gastric banding,a type of obesity surgery.

答案

2分之3的美国人不是超重就是肥胖,而且在过去的30年内,小孩的肥胖数量已经翻了3倍.有18%的人患有糖尿病、心脏病和其他疾病.
“看看这些数据或许能帮助政策制定者权衡预防和对抗肥胖的投入力度.”Schulman说.他指出了一些（导致肥胖的）因素,比如过去30年的饮食变化和阻碍了体育运动的物理环境.
“我们社会正在投入大力对抗肥胖,为什么我们不把这个想成一个艰难的工作来在哪些可怜的小学生变成中年糖尿病患者之前解决它呢?”
去年发布的一项大型研究表明,肥胖者平均一年要比正常体重的人多花1400美元的医药费.
本周的研究又指出,工作相关的花费（类似病假和残疾申述）也多半与这些问题有关（肥胖问题）.
研究者还有一个很奇怪的发现.他们计算出自1960年以来,汽车乘客的体重增加导致每年多消耗了3百80万升汽油.
最新的研究是由一家胃囊袋术（一种减肥手术）的生产商资助的.
