McDonald's portions have super-sized since the fast food chain's first store opened in 1955. At that time, a customer could order only one size of fries off the menu, and the serving was about 2.4 ounces, according to Buzzfeed. That's .2 ounces less than a standard small fries offers today. But who's choosing small when you can get a lot more fries for just a little extra dough? Today's large serves up 5.9 ounces of fried potatoes -- and 510 calories to boot.?
自1955年第一家麥當(dāng)勞開(kāi)業(yè)以來(lái)，麥當(dāng)勞快餐的份量就已經(jīng)翻了翻。根據(jù)Buzzfeed的說(shuō)法，那時(shí)候顧客在菜單上能點(diǎn)到的薯?xiàng)l就只有一種大小，份量大約是2.4盎司，比今天標(biāo)準(zhǔn)小薯?xiàng)l的份量還要少0.2盎司。但如果只加一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)錢(qián)就可以多吃很多薯?xiàng)l，那誰(shuí)還會(huì)選小的呢？今天的大薯?xiàng)l份量有5.9盎司，還含有510卡路里等著你去消耗。

We can't be so surprised, then, that Americans' waistlines have increased as their sodas, burgers and fries have been seriously beefed up. In the early 1960s, the average American man weighed 166.2 pounds. In 2010, he weighed 195.5 pounds, gaining nearly 30 pounds.
既然飲料、漢堡和薯?xiàng)l都實(shí)實(shí)在在地加了量，那美國(guó)人的腰圍跟著增加也就沒(méi)什么好奇怪的了。在20世紀(jì)60年代早期，美國(guó)人的平均體重是166.2磅。而2010年，平均值變195.5磅了，增重近30磅。

Other restaurants have expand their plates, too, of course -- according to the CDC, the average restaurant meal is now more than four times larger than it was in the 1950s.
當(dāng)然，其他餐廳的飯菜也變得更大盤(pán)了——根據(jù)疾病預(yù)防控制中心的記錄，今天普通餐廳的飯菜份量是20世紀(jì)50年代的4倍有余。
