So, we've been talking about a meal that you enjoyed, and I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this.

所以，我們一直在談論你喜歡的一餐，我想和你再討論一兩個與此相關的一般性問題。

First of all, let's consider children and food.

首先，讓我們考慮一下兒童和食物。

What's the best age for a child to learn to cook?Oh, I don't know.

孩子學習烹飪的最佳年齡是幾歲？

Let me see.

讓我看看

Maybe about eight or nine.

大概有八九個吧。

Why?

為什麼？

Because I think it might be dangerous if the child is very young.

因為我認為，如果孩子還很小，這樣做可能會有危險。

You know, using a knife or cooking things on a stove, you know, that sort of thing.

Whose responsibility is it, in your view, to teach children to eat healthily?Oh, the parents, definitely.

在你看來，教育孩子健康飲食是誰的責任？

It all starts with them.

一切從他們開始。

Parents must teach their children to eat well.

家長必須教會孩子吃得好。

They shouldn't give them junk food all the time, otherwise children can get addicted to it.

他們不應該總是給孩子們吃垃圾食品，否則孩子們會上癮。

Do you think children will eat more healthily in the future?Well, sadly, I don't think they will.

您認為孩子們今後會吃得更健康嗎？

Fast food is so common nowadays, and people are so busy, so it's an easy option for families.

如今，快餐如此普遍，人們又如此忙碌，是以快餐對家庭來說是一個簡單的選擇。

I think there will be more health problems in our society in the future, caused by poor diets.

Moving on now to talk about eating habits.

現在來談談飲食習慣。

Does food play an important role in your culture?Yes, I think it does.

食物在你們的文化中扮演著重要角色嗎？

When we have family get-togethers, there's always a lot of food.

And we have a big meal when we celebrate religious holidays.

在慶祝宗教節日時，我們會大吃一頓。

I guess that's the same in most countries.

我想這在大多數國家都是一樣的。

Food usually is connected to big cultural or religious festivals.

食物通常與大型文化或宗教節日有關。

Would you say people in your country have a healthy diet these days?

您認為貴國人民現在的飲食健康嗎？

Or did people eat more healthily in the past?That's a difficult question.

還是過去人們吃得更健康？這是一個很難回答的問題。

I think both diets could be healthy.

我認為這兩種飲食都是健康的。

You see, traditionally in Germany, people ate quite plain food, like potatoes, meat, and bread.

傳統上，德國人吃的食物都很普通，比如洋芋、肉和麵包。

But they ate vegetables too, so in my view, I think the diet was quite healthy.

但他們也吃蔬菜，所以在我看來，我認為他們的飲食相當健康。

And now our society is so multicultural, especially in the cities, that we have many other cuisines to choose from, such as Indian or Turkish.

現在，我們的社會，尤其是在城市裡，已經是一個多元文化的社會，我們有很多其他的美食可以選擇，比如印度菜或土耳其菜。

So we can have a varied, healthy diet.

這樣，我們就能擁有多樣化的健康飲食。

So, yes, I think both the traditional and the modern German diet could be healthy.

是以，是的，我認為傳統和現代的德國飲食都是健康的。

Just the people need to make the right choice.

人民需要做出正確的選擇。

Do you think it's important for a family to sit together to eat a meal in the evening?Yes, ideally, if it's possible.
