To all students and staff
These changes follow a survey in which 62 percent of you asked for lighter lunches. The price of a set meal stays at NT$65.
致全體學生與教職員
這些調整源自一項調查，其中百分之六十二的人希望午餐清爽一些。套餐價格維持新台幣六十五元。
White rice and white bread are easy to digest, which sounds like good news. In fact, food that leaves the stomach quickly also leaves the eater hungry again within an hour.
Whole grains behave differently. Because the outer layer stays on, digestion takes longer and sugar enters the blood slowly. A study in Japan found that office workers who ate brown rice at noon ate about 15 percent less at dinner.
Nutritionists add one warning: whole grains are not a magic cure. A bowl covered in sugar or syrup loses most of its advantage.
白米與白麵包容易消化，聽起來像是好消息。事實上，很快離開胃部的食物，也會讓人在一小時內再度感到飢餓。
全穀類則不同。因為外層仍保留著，消化需要更久的時間，糖分也較緩慢進入血液。日本一項研究發現，中午吃糙米的上班族，晚餐大約少吃百分之十五。
營養師補充一項提醒：全穀類並不是萬靈丹。一碗淋滿砂糖或糖漿的穀物，會失去大部分的好處。
Dear Mr. Ramos,
Thank you for the lamb chops you delivered on Friday. My guests said the flesh was tender and the flavor was excellent.
I am planning a dinner for eighteen people on 12 November and would like to order again. This time I need cuts that are lower in fat, because two of my guests are on a strict diet.
Could you also tell me whether you sell bones for soup? If so, please add four kilos.
I will collect everything myself on the morning of the 12th, so no delivery is needed.
Best regards,
Helen Wu
拉莫斯先生您好：
謝謝您週五送來的羊排。我的客人都說肉質軟嫩、風味極佳。
我打算在十一月十二日為十八個人辦一場晚宴，想再訂一次。這次我需要脂肪較少的部位，因為有兩位客人正嚴格控制飲食。
另外想請問您是否販售熬湯用的骨頭？如果有，請加四公斤。
十二日早上我會親自去取貨，所以不需要外送。
謹此問候
