Immigrants to the United States often ditch their ethnic diets for high-
calorie American fare， partly because it is cheap and easy to find but also
as a way to fit in， a new study shows.
新研究显示，移民美国的人，常常放弃他们的传统饮食，改吃高卡路里的美国饮食，部
分是因为美国食物便宜好找，不过也因为这是一种融入的方式。
Immigrants who eat American are consuming， on average， 182 extra calories
and seven additional grams of saturated fat compared to immigrants who stick
to their traditional diet， leaving the fast-food immigrants more likely to
become obese and suffer chronic illnesses related to obesity.
饮食美国化的移民，比坚持传统饮食的移民，平均多摄取182卡路里与7克的饱和脂肪，
导致这些吃速食的移民，更可能肥胖且罹患与过胖相关的慢性疾病。
The researchers conducted two experiments focused on Asian-Americans to see
if they "choose and consume American foods as a way to convey that they
belong in America."
研究人员针对亚裔美国人进行两项研究，观察他们是否把「选择与摄取美国食物，当成
传达他们属于美国的方式」。
In the first experiment， a group of Asian-Americans was "threatened" by
being asked if they could speak English， and then asked to note down their
favorite food. A control group noted down their preferred dish without
having their American-ness "threatened." The threatened group was three
times more likely to say they liked a typical American dish best than the
unthreatened group.
第一份研究中，一组亚裔美国人被问到会不会说英文，感受到受「威胁」，接着他们被
要求记下最爱吃的食物。控制组也记下偏好的食物，不过美国身分并未受「威胁」。受
威胁的组别，说自己喜欢典型美国食物的人，比未受威胁的组别多3倍。
In the second experiment， Asian-Americans were asked to choose from items
on a menu listing typically American fare or one featuring Asian fare. The
Asian-Americans who were trying to assert their US identity after having it
challenged were eating "the caloric and fat equivalent of an extra four-
piece order of McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets over those who were not
threatened，" says the study.
第二份实验中，亚裔美国人被要求从列出美式传统食物或写着亚洲食物的菜单中选择。
亚裔美国人在美国身分被挑战之后，尝试表达自己的美国身分，会「比未受威胁的人，
多吃相当于4块麦当劳鸡块的卡路里与脂肪」，据该研究指出。
