　　Ⅲ.课文篇

　　Experts say that, other than breakfast, lunch is the most important meal of the day! A good, healthy and satisfying lunch is absolutely vital to keep your energy and creativity at its peak during the afternoon.

　　专家们说，除了早饭，午饭是一天中最重要的一顿饭!一顿好的、健康而令人满足的午餐对于你下午的能量和创造力保持在顶峰是至关重要的。

　　Unless you are a complete loner, you will probably have lunch with one or more colleagues during the working week. Having lunch with the people you work with has many benefits including:

　　除非你是一个完全独处的人，你很可能会和一个或更多的同事在工作日一起共进午餐。和同你一起工作的人共进午餐有很多好处：

　　.Getting to know the people you work with in a social setting

　　.Building better relationships with your colleagues

　　.Having the opportunity to let off some steam about work

　　.Relaxing with your colleagues in the middle of a busy day

　　.在一个社交的环境中了解你的同事。

　　.和你的同事建立更好的关系

　　.有机会缓解一些工作的压力

　　.在繁忙的一天中间，和你的同事一起放松

　　Because lunch is such an important meal (although some people think that lunch is really only for wimps) you should choose the food you eat carefully. Try to stay away from fatty or greasy foods and go for foods with lighter flavors. That way you won't feel like sleeping after lunch.

　　因为午餐是这样一顿重要的饭(尽管一些人认为只有身体不强壮的人才需要午餐)，你应该仔细选择你要吃的食物。尽量避开脂肪和油脂含量高的食物，而要吃味道较淡的食物。这样，你就不会在午饭后昏昏欲睡。

　　Some interesting things to try could be salads, sandwiches, fruit or, may favorite, noodles with vegetables!

　　你应该试这样一些令人感兴趣的食物，例如沙拉，三明治，水果或者是你喜欢的面条加蔬菜!

　　If your company allows you an hour for lunch make sure that you get back to the office on time. Lunch is important but being late never makes a good impression.

　　如果你的公司给你一个小时吃午饭，要确保按时回到办公室。午餐固然重要，但是迟到会给人留下不好的印象。
