---译评2017年天津卷完形填空
【短评】本文体现自我救赎与关爱社会的双重核心价值，突出战胜困难的坚韧能力，彰显勇于改变的担当素养，展示从个人减重到投身公益的升华情境。其社会意义在于启示人们：改变自我可与奉献社会相结合，通过设定宏大目标激发内在动力，既能实现个人蜕变，又能为世界带来温暖，这种双向奔赴的成长模式对困境中的个体具有积极的借鉴启示。
另外，中国国家层面为应对超重肥胖率上升趋势和降低慢性病风险，推出了一系列与减肥相关的政策和措施，包括“体重管理年”活动、医疗卫生支持、健康生活方式倡导和“国民百日轻体计划”。这些政策旨在提高全民健康水平，预防和控制超重肥胖问题。此文具有前瞻的眼光。

At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to kill bad feelings, to make myself feel better, and to celebrate. Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds of diets but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my weight. 我最重时体重达 370 磅。我与食物的关系糟糕透顶：用它消解坏情绪、让自己感觉好些，也用它庆祝。出于健康担忧，我尝试过许多不同的饮食方案，却都无济于事。我开始觉得自己对体重无能为力。
When I was 50, my weight problem began to affect me seriously. I didn’t want to live the rest of my life with this extra weight any more. 50 岁时，体重问题开始严重影响我。我再也不想带着这身赘肉度过余生。
That year, I attended a seminar where we were asked to create a project that would touch the world. A seminar leader shared her success story—she had not only lost 125 pounds, but also raised $ 25,000 for homeless children. 那年，我参加了一场研讨会，会上我们被要求创建一个能触动世界的项目。一位研讨会负责人分享了她的成功故事 —— 她不仅减掉了 125 磅体重，还为无家可归的孩子筹集了 2.5 万美元。
Influenced by her story, I created the As We Heal (痊愈), the World Heals project. My goal was to lose 150 pounds in one year and raise $ 50,000 in support of a movement founded 30 years ago to end hunger. This combination of healing myself and healing the world struck me as the perfect solution. 受她的故事影响，我创建了 “我们痊愈，世界痊愈” 项目。我的目标是在一年内减掉 150 磅体重，并筹集 5 万美元，支持一项 30 年前发起的终结饥饿的运动。自我疗愈与世界疗愈的结合，在我看来是完美的解决方案。
As I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would run into the same difficulties that beat me before. While the fear hung over my head, there were also signs that I was headed down the right path. I sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project. It worked perfectly. Donations began flooding in from hundreds of people. 当我开始自己的个人减重计划时，心中满是恐惧，担心会遇到以前击败过我的那些困难。尽管恐惧萦绕心头，但也有迹象表明我正走在正确的道路上。我给所有认识的人写信，告诉他们我的项目。这效果极佳，数百人的捐款开始如潮水般涌来。
Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I consulted with a physician (内科医生), I hired a fitness coach, and I began to eat small and healthy meals. My fund-raising focus also gave me new motivation to exercise regularly. 当然，我也采取了一些实际的减重措施。我咨询了内科医生，聘请了健身教练，并开始吃少量健康的餐食。专注于筹款也给了我定期锻炼的新动力。
A year later, I reached my goal: I lost 150 pounds and raised $ 50,000! I feel that I’ve been given a second life to devote to something that is meaningful and enormous. 一年后，我达成了目标：减掉 150 磅体重，筹集到 5 万美元！我觉得自己获得了第二次生命，得以投身于有意义的宏大事业。
