翻譯 Translation
Mark: Xiaoshi, I found that there are many weight loss clinics on the streets of Taipei!
Xiaoshi: Oh, yes, because many people do seem to have this need.
Mark: Do you all want to be thin?
Xiaoshi: Well, many Asians, especially girls, think that they look good if they are thinner.
Mark: If you are too thin, it will be unhealthy, right?
Xiaoshi: Yes, some women sacrifice their health in order to pursue what they think is a perfect body.
Mark: I think everyone’s body is different, and that’s normal, as long as you’re healthy.
Xiaoshi: I couldn’t agree with you more. In fact, people’s ideas have gradually changed in recent years.
Mark: Health is the most important thing, right?
Xiaoshi: Exactly!
