Question

”You are what you eat.”的中文意思是什么?

Answer 1

You are what you eat : just a direct meaning of the sentence. Example : If you eat fatty food
you will bee fat. If you eat healthy food
you will bee healthy. So whatever you eat now will bee part of you in the future.

Actually we must consider the CONTEXT of the TV programme
NOT just the five words that get together. 2008-10-15 19:03:36 补充： Therefore
either 002 or 003 may be right. But we haven't got the TV program to check so it's hard to judge.) Please take a look at the following page: foodreferenceqyouarewhatyoueat 2008-10-15 19:21:11 补充： One more thing: the host also might not know the original meaning of the quote but when talking about someone's eating habit
but he / she mistakenly uses that quote to describe. If so
then 002's wer to the question is right. 2008-10-15 19:21:21 补充： Also
even if the host knows the original meaning
he/she might choose not to stick to it
but use that same phrase to refer to another situation. 2008-10-15 19:28:04 补充： so conclusion is that: if
for example
the host thinks Norwegi are fat because they take too much fat
then 002's interpretation is right. but if the host just wants to say that the Norwegi are friendly people coz they often take sweet things
then 003 is correct!
hyperpork讲得对，This is my ment.
"You are what you eat." 其实是指食物可以反映人的性格。 一个人的性格不多不少可以从他/她的生活习惯反映出来
而由于"食"占人生很重要的一部份
所以从一个人对"食"的态度和食物的喜爱往往可以看到他/她的性格。例如: 喜欢吃辣的人通常比较热情和有忍耐力
喜欢吃甜的人比较友善和重感情等等。 2008-10-04 03:33:29 补充： 如果你有看过日本的 "料理铁人"
节目开始时总会有一句 "Tell me what you eat
and I will tell you who you are."
这是法国著名美食家 Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin 的名句。这句的基本意思和 "You are what you eat" 是一样的。
