讓我們從批判性思維的角度來審視這些熱潮。

Let's say you run into an ad for an exercise plan that promises weight loss and a sleek physique.

比方說，你碰上了一個承諾減肥和纖瘦體態的運動計劃的廣告。

The first thing you want to do is ask yourself, Is there something being sold here?

你要做的第一件事就是問自己，這裡有什麼東西在賣嗎？

在這種情況下，可能是健身器材啊，訂閱或付費牆後的內容，然後再全身心投入，點擊通過。

Does the company have your best interests at heart, or are they selling something that's ineffective or misleading?

該公司是否以你的利益為重，還是在銷售一些無效或誤導性的東西？

Be sure to do your research and see if there's any kind of evidence backing up their product.

一定要做調查，看看是否有任何形式的證據支持他們的產品。

In some cases, you might hear about a certain health craze because it's immensely popular.

在某些情況下，你可能會聽到某種健康熱潮，因為它非常受歡迎。

很多公司在推銷自己的產品時，都會說是快速或簡單，人們之所以買賬，是因為他們想要快速、簡單的結果。

Just because a health craze is popular doesn't necessarily mean that it's healthy or that it's the right one for you.

某種健康熱潮的流行並不意味著它一定是健康的，也不意味著它是適合你的。

With all of these, health craze is, there is an inevitable cycle.

這些，健康熱潮是，有一個必然的循環。

The current ones fade away and new ones appear to take their place.

現在的人逐漸消失，新的人出現，取而代之。

Most trends don't stand the test of time because they're hype dies down or they're found to be less effective than advertised.

大多數趨勢經不起時間的考驗，因為他們的炒作消失了，或者他們被發現比廣告中的效果差。

And if the crazes of the past have faded away, we should probably view any new trends that rise up through a critical lens.

而如果說過去的熱潮已經褪去，我們或許應該用批判的眼光來看待任何興起的新潮流。
