这本书是为肥胖孩子的家长写的，同时希望也是为这些孩子写的，因为我在其中讲述了许多我自己作为一个胖小孩的经历。

1. The book is for parents of obese kids. It’s hopefully also for the kids themselves, because I talk a lot about my own experiences as a fat kid.
2. You’ve been a City Council member for the past five-plus years, but you were a teacher before that. Why did you decide to enter New York City local politics?
3. I have always been interested in contemporary art that engages technology and the media. I started out focusing more on film and video, and got increasingly involved in new media.
4. Innovation is like a bamboo shoot. A bamboo shoot spends many years under the ground, and then it just peeks its head up like a seedling and shoots up very quickly.
5. More and more people all over the world will begin to realize that women do have a role to play, their voices need to be heard and they need to be visible.
