　　避开超市里的“上瘾走道”—这些走道上一边排列着洋芋片和其他高脂、高卡路里的零食，另一边则排列着汽水、烈酒和糖果。

　　The same goes for other areas you don't need to expose yourself to,from the in-store bakery to the lady handing out the free food samples.

　　另外有些区域如店内的面包部到小姐分发免费食物试吃的地方，也是少去为妙。

　　Take along a limited amount of money.

　　带着限定数量的钱去购物。

　　That chocolate cake with whipped cream icing next to the frozen corn may look awfully⁶ tempting⁷,

　　那个在冷冻玉米旁涂满授奶油糖霜的巧克力蛋糕可能看起来极度诱人，

　　but since you brought only enough money for the corn,you'll have to pass on the cake.

　　但因为你只带够买玉米的钱，所以就只好放弃那个蛋糕哆。

　　Don' t shop for treats for others. Be honest with yourself.

　　别为了招待别人而购物。对自己要诚实。

　　Those snacks will most likely end up in your mouth long before the others even see them.
