“弹性素食”是个什么鬼？.

　　可以展示你曼妙身姿的夏天又快要到了，你的减肥计划又要开始了吗?如果你还是要靠全素食谱来减肥，那你可真out了。全新的弹性素食理念既能帮你控制体重，还能让你摄入必须的营养。

　　A semi-vegetarian or flexitarian diet is one that is plant-based with the occasional inclusion of meat.

　　半素食者或者弹性素食者指的是基本吃素食，偶尔食用肉类的人。

　　There are no rules for flexitarianism, which is part of the appeal. The basic idea is to eat more vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, while reducing intake of animal-based foods such as meat, poultry and dairy.

　　弹性素食主义没有确定的规则，这也是其魅力所在。弹性素食的基本理念是摄入更多的蔬菜、全谷类、豆类、坚果和菜籽，减少动物类食品的摄入，比如肉类、禽类和奶制品。

　　While 7.3 million Americans are vegetarian, an additional 22.8 million are flexitarian, meaning they primarily eat a vegetarian diet, but enjoy meat occasionally. This part-time vegetarian diet has broader appeal because it helps us balance food cravings with health and global sustainability.

　　美国如今有730万人是素食者，还有2280万人是弹性素食者，也就是主要吃素食，偶尔也吃肉。这种弹性素食更有吸引力，因为它能帮助我们在健康、全球可持续发展、和饮食冲动之间找到平衡。

　　例句：

　　Me? I'm flexitarian. It's like a vegetarian, but I eat meat too.

　　我吗?我是弹性素食者，我奉行素食主义，但也吃肉。
