一位母亲感到非常愤怒,因为她儿子的学校把午餐盒让孩子带回家并告诉她这些食物不够健康。
furious:愤怒
She sent him in with a few different fruits, vegetables and protein balls - sounds fine so far. But she also packed him a few 'healthy' homemade sausage rolls, which were packed with lots of different veg.
她带了几个不同的水果,蔬菜和蛋白球,到目前听起来都很好。但她还给儿子带了一些“健康”的自制香肠卷,里面装满了不同的蔬菜。
protein:蛋白质
His teachers weren't impressed and sent the little boy back with a "condescending" note saying they weren't healthy enough. It read: "Let's work together to make it easier for children to make healthy choices!
儿子的老师并没有为此留下好印象,并让孩子带着一张“居高临下”的通知回家,同时表示这些食物不够健康。通知上写道:“让我们共同努力,让孩子们更容易获得健康的选择。”
condescending:居高临下
"There were lots of great choices in this lunchbox however sausage rolls [are] too high in fat… The food did not fit with our service’s nutrition guidelines. For some healthier lunchbox ideas, ask an educator, or go to the Good for Kids website.”
“这个午餐盒里有很棒的选择,但是香肠卷的脂肪含量太高……食物不符合我们服务的营养指南。如果想获得更多健康午餐的想法,请联系一位老师或者登录Good for Kids网站。”
guideline:指南
The mum, who is from Australia, was absolutely furious and took to Facebook to share her thoughts.
这位来自澳大利亚的母亲非常愤怒,并在Facebook上分享了她的想法。
"In my opinion these sausage rolls are pretty healthy for him I will be sending the information back to the school. They do not allow the food item to be eaten once they attach the note I had a feeling this would happen so I packed extra for him. I also packed two Milo balls just to see if they also said no to them, guess what they were allowed.”
“在我看来,这些香肠卷对他来说非常健康,我会把信息发回学校。他们一旦给午餐盒填上条就不允许孩子再吃了。我觉得这种情况可能会发生所以就为他额外打包了一份午饭。我还装了两个Milo球,看看它们是否会说不,猜猜他们允许吃什么。”
