4. How often do you eat chocolate?

你多久吃一次巧克力？

Well, it depends on the type of chocolate. I have this habit of eating a small chunk of dark chocolate every day, as it is said to be healthy and can keep us energetic. However, for milk chocolate or white chocolate, which contains a lot of sugar, I barely eat it, because I want to keep my diet healthy.

好吧，这取决于巧克力的类型。我有每天吃一小块黑巧克力的习惯，据说它很健康，可以让我们精力充沛。但是，对于含糖量高的牛奶巧克力或白巧克力，我几乎不吃，因为我想保持饮食健康。

5. Did you often eat chocolate when you were a kid?

你小时候经常吃巧克力吗？

Unfortunately, no. When I was little, my parents did not allow me to eat too much chocolate as it could rot my teeth and make me lose my appetite for other healthy food. I only got to eat some sweets, including chocolate, for special occasions, such as my birthday and other people’s weddings.

很不幸的是，不行。在我小的时候，我的父母不允许我吃太多巧克力，因为它会腐蚀我的牙齿，让我对其他健康食品失去胃口。我只能在特殊场合吃一些糖果，包括巧克力，比如我的生日和别人的婚礼。

6. Why do you think chocolate is popular around the world?

为什么你认为巧克力在世界范围内流行？

Personally, I reckon that the popularity of chocolate comes from the fact that it has a lot of varieties. If you prefer something sweet there is white chocolate and milk chocolate, but if you prefer something, let’s say, a bit bitter and healthier, you can always go for a dark chocolate.

我个人认为，巧克力之所以受欢迎，是因为它的品种多。如果您喜欢甜食，可以选择白巧克力和牛奶巧克力，但如果您更喜欢苦味和更健康的食物，则可以选择黑巧克力。
