这句话最初应该是“You are what you read”意思是“你读什么样的书，你就会变成什么样的人”（言外之意就是书对我们影响很大，影响我们的气质）。

那么你这句话应该是出自美国现在对食品安全及营养的担忧，所以他用了we are what we eat来说明我们日常所吃的食品是多么的重要。我想这才是这句话真正的含义。至于翻译，就是按照字面翻译就可以了，但是这句话重点在于它的“内涵”。

Nowadays, learning and growth are the necessary deeds for modern people who live in a kind of society full of competitions. while, there is a hot topic about the method of
learning and growth. Some people is for reading books, and some people think
doing and experiencing are the right ways to learn. As for me, i support the
former. The following points can support my view.First of all, the knowledge
from most books in publication is true and scientific, gotten from the authors’
or other predecessors’ first-hand concrete or emotional experiences, which is
worthy being learned by people. Even if the knowledge is theoretical and
academic, they can provide the meaningful experiences, examples for people to
reflect, and useful, effective ways to solve daily problems. Secondly, reading
books is the most easy, effective way for people to get knowledge in the least
time. Then people can save much time to do other things. The more books we
read, the more knowledge we get, the solider our theoretical basis is, which is
more easily for people to innovate. Thirdly, learning by doing has its
limitations. Owing to the limit of time and place, it is unrealistic for people
to do or experience everything in order to get knowledge. Sometimes the action
is dangerous. For example, .we can’t get the knowledge---killing people is
illegal, by killing an innocent person and bearing the terrible result. It is
unreasonable.In the end, i conclude my opinion. Learning through reading is a
more efficient choice for people, comparing with the way of experiencing and
doing.
