问题     中国的肥胖率(obesity rate)这些年来迅速上升。目前,中国有1/4的成人超重或者极为肥胖。这个数字在未来20年里还可能增加一倍。超重导致的一系列疾病,尤其是糖尿病(diabetes),无疑会给中国的卫生保健体系造成很大的压力。但有趣的是,肥胖创造了新的商业机会,实现了减肥产业(weight-loss industry)的快速增长。到去年年底,中国减肥产品销售额达到了100亿元。令人吃惊的是,这个数字仍在持续上涨。由于受到丰厚利润的吸引,越来越多的投资者开始参与其中。

选项

答案 Obesity rates in China have surged over the years. More than 25% of adults in the country are overweight or obese and the number could double over the next 20 years. Undoubtedly, a series of diseases caused by overweight, especially diabetes, will put great pressure on Chinese healthcare system. Interestingly, however, this creates new business opportunities and achieves a rapid growth of weight-loss industry. By the end of last year, the sales of weight-loss products had reached up to 10 billion dollars. Surprisingly, the figure is still rising. Generous profits are attracting an increasing number of investors to engage in this industry.
