I don’t eat breakfast. It’s not that I dislike what’s offered.Given the choice of breakfast food or lunch food, I’d almost always choose eggs or waffles. It’s just that I’m not hungry at 7:30 a.m., when I leave for work.

我不吃早餐。這并非因為食物不合胃口。如果讓我選，不論早餐還是晚餐，我幾乎一定會吃雞蛋或者華夫餅。問題是，早上7點半出門上班時，我根本就不餓。

【經典句式】

dislike不喜歡

waffle華夫餅

leave for work出門上班

In fact, I’m rarely hungry until about lunchtime. So, other than a morning cup ofcoffee, I don’t eat much before noon. This habit has forced me to be subjected to more lectures on how I’m hurting myself, my diet, my work and my health than almost any other. Only a fool would skip the most important meal of the day, right?

事實上，不到午餐時間，我很少感到饑餓。因此，除了早上喝一杯咖啡，中午之前我基本不怎么吃東西。與其他習慣相比，這個習慣為我招來的告誡幾乎是最多的，大家都提醒說，我在怎樣傷害自己，怎樣毀掉自己的節食計劃、工作和健康。只有傻瓜才會跳過一天中最重要的一餐，對吧?

force逼迫

As with many other nutritional pieces of advice, our belief in the power ofbreakfast is based on misinterpreted research and biased studies.

我們認為早餐意義重大，但這種看法是以受到錯誤解讀或有失偏頗的研究為基礎的，就和其他許多營養學建議一樣。

【犀利觀點】早餐 & 健康：全段

It does not take much of an effort to find research that shows an association between skipping breakfast and poor health. A 2013 study published inthe journal Circulation found that men who skipped breakfast had a significantly higher risk of coronary heart disease than men who ate breakfast. But, like almost all studies of breakfast, this is an association, not causation.

的確，很容易就可以找到能夠證明不吃早餐與健康狀況惡化之間存在關聯的研究。醫學期刊《循環》(Circulation)在2013年發表的一項研究成果顯示，不吃早餐的男性罹患冠心病的風險顯著高于吃早餐的男性。不過，像關于早餐的幾乎所有研究一樣，它得出的是相關性，而非因果關系。

【經典句式】

it takes … to do sth 要……就要……

an association between … and … …和…的聯系

skipping breakfast不吃早餐

poor health 健康狀況惡化

have a significantly higher risk of風險顯著高

heart disease心臟病

association相關性

causation因果關系

More than most other domains, this topic is one that suffers from publication bias. In a paper published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2013, researchers reviewed the literature on the effect of breakfast on obesity to look specifically at this issue. They first noted that nutrition researchers love to publish results showing a correlation between skipping breakfast and obesity. They love to do so again and again. At some point, there’s no reason to keep publishing on this.

這個話題承載的論文發表偏見，比其他大部分話題要多。在《美國臨床營養學期刊》(The American Journalof Clinical Nutrition)于2013年發表的一篇論文中，研究人員通過梳理與早餐對肥胖癥的影響有關的文獻，專門審視了這個問題。他們首先注意到，營養學研究者很愛發表能夠證明不吃早餐和肥胖之間存在關聯的研究成果。他們一次又一次樂此不疲地這樣做。到了一定的時候，根本就不存在持續發表這類東西的理由。
