你真能吃,菜又没了。
nǐ zhēn néng chī , cài yòu méi le 。
You can really eat, all of the food's gone again.
We've heard there's a crumbling yellow list posted on the wall of the State Department's China Room
warning its newly recruited analysts of signs they may have gone native and should seek professional
help. Number six on that list is apparently ordering a second bowl of rice with dinner.
Depending on how long you've been in China, you're probably either shaking your head in disbelief at
the mere possibility, or nodding your head in solemn agreement, because sometimes one bowl of rice
just isn't enough. Which is why we're pleased to present you with information on the latest Chinese diet
craze. In addition to helping keep the pounds off, this minor adjustment to your dining habits will keep
you employable by the US government. Listen in for the details.
