As you might know if you read my columns, see me a mile away, or talk to me for five seconds, I am a card-carrying(正式的、彻底的) lifelong member of the Fat Lesbian Club. However, ever since I first laid eyes on(看见、注意到) the television show Roseanne(美国经典情景喜剧《罗斯安家庭生活》) (very important to me) as a small child, the actor John Goodman has held a special place in my heart(在我心中占有特殊位置). It was confusing for me: did I want to be Dan Conner, or be with Dan Conner? I’m still not sure. He has always been so hot(性感的、迷人的) to me, from Dan on Roseanne to Fred Flintstone to Walter in The Big Lebowski. His body has now drawn attention in the last week or so, after a photo of him showing significant weight loss went viral(迅速传播、走红).
如果你读过我的专栏、在很远的地方见过我，或者跟我聊上五秒钟，你可能就会知道，我是“胖拉拉俱乐部”的终身正式会员。然而，自从我小时候第一次看到电视剧《罗斯安家庭生活》（对我非常重要）起，演员约翰·古德曼就在我心中占据了一个特殊的位置。这曾让我很困惑：我是想成为丹·康纳，还是想和丹·康纳在一起？我至今仍不确定。从《罗斯安》里的丹到《摩登原始人》里的弗雷德·弗林斯通，再到《谋杀绿脚趾》里的沃尔特，他一直都那么性感。最近一周左右，他的身体引起了关注，因为一张他明显瘦了很多的照片在网上疯传。
It’s not Goodman’s 74-year-old body (his choice) I want to discuss, but instead the arguments that broke out about how he lost the weight.(我想讨论的不是古德曼74岁的身体（那是他的选择），而是围绕他如何减肥而爆发的争论。) On one side there were many people congratulating(祝贺) him on his hard work. Then there were people claiming(声称、宣称) he had taken Ozempic(奥泽匹克，一种减肥药物) so it wasn’t actually hard work, and then there were people defending that by saying he’d been losing weight for years, so he’d done it the “right way”(“正确的方式”), actually.
我想讨论的不是古德曼74岁的身体（那是他的选择），而是围绕他如何减肥而爆发的争论。一方面，有许多人祝贺他的努力。另一方面，有人声称他服用了奥泽匹克，所以这其实算不上努力；还有人为此辩护，说他多年来一直在减肥，所以实际上他是以“正确的方式”做到的。
I don’t know the details and I don’t care, but none of this is good. This is a common sentiment(情绪、观点), but now it seems to be snowballing(滚雪球般扩大). There’s this idea that fat people who use weight loss drugs are “cheating” or “taking the easy way(走捷径、图省事)”. What it means, as usual, is that fat people cannot win, regardless of what we do.(像往常一样，这意味着胖人无论怎么做都是输。) And I’ve had enough(我受够了).
我不知道细节，也不在乎，但这些都不好。这是一种普遍的情绪，但现在似乎愈演愈烈。有一种观点认为，使用减肥药的胖人是在“作弊”或“走捷径”。像往常一样，这意味着胖人无论怎么做都是输。我受够了。
