The story

大卫：今天好热！我喝一瓶可乐。It's so hot today! I'm having a cola.

小雨：等一下！专家说，你的血太甜了。你要减少糖！Wait! The specialist said your blood is too sweet. You have to cut down on sugar!

大卫：可是我很少吃糖啊。But I hardly ever eat sugar.

马克：我补充一点：一瓶可乐里，有十块糖。Let me add something: there are ten lumps of sugar in one bottle of cola.

大卫：十块糖？！我一天喝五瓶可乐……Ten lumps of sugar?! I drink five bottles of cola a day...

安娜：五十块糖！比我吃的还多！Fifty lumps of sugar! That's even more than I eat!

小雨：从今天开始，你要减少可乐，一天最多一瓶。From today, you cut down on cola: one bottle a day, at most.

大卫：一天一瓶？那我要减少四瓶！One a day? Then I have to cut out four bottles!
