The Unconventional Weight Loss Program | 非常规减肥计划

English Original

A man orders a 5-day, 10-pound weight loss program from a company. The next day, a voluptuous, athletic 19-year-old woman arrives at his door with a sign around her neck that reads: 'If you can catch me, I'm yours.'

Without hesitation, he chases her but gives up after a few miles, exhausted. The same routine repeats for the next four days. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost the promised 10 pounds.

Encouraged, he orders a more ambitious 5-day, 20-pound program. The next day, an even more stunning woman arrives with the same sign. He chases her with all his might for five days and successfully loses another 20 pounds.

Thrilled with his progress, he decides to 'go for broke' and orders the most rigorous program: a 7-day, 50-pound plan. The company representative cautions him, but he insists, feeling better than he has in years.

The next day, there's a knock. He opens the door to find a huge, muscular man wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign that reads: 'If I catch you, you're mine.'

That week, he lost 63 pounds.


中文翻译

一名男子向一家公司订购了一个为期5天、减重10磅的减肥计划。第二天,一位丰满健美的19岁女子来到他家门口,脖子上挂着一个牌子,上面写着:“如果你能抓到我,我就是你的。”

他毫不犹豫地追了上去,但几英里后便气喘吁吁地放弃了。接下来的四天,重复着同样的流程。第五天,他称了体重,欣喜地发现自己如约减掉了10磅。

大受鼓舞的他,订购了一个更雄心勃勃的5天减重20磅的计划。第二天,一位更加惊艳的女子带着同样的牌子出现了。他竭尽全力追了她五天,成功又减掉了20磅。

对自己的进展兴奋不已,他决定“孤注一掷”,订购了最严苛的计划:一个7天减重50磅的方案。公司代表提醒了他,但他坚持己见,感觉自己多年来从未如此好过。

第二天,敲门声响起。他打开门,发现一个身材魁梧、肌肉发达的男人,只穿着一双粉色跑鞋,脖子上挂着一个牌子,上面写着:“如果我抓到你,你就是我的。”

那一周,他减掉了63磅。
