As you’ve probably heard, the US is in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Americans just keep getting fatter and fatter. But the bad news doesn’t end there. Because in today’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists from Harvard and the University of California, (no in) San Diego, report that obesity is actually contagious and it seems you catch it from your friends. After analyzing 32 years worth of data from more than 12,000 individuals, the researchers found that (no the) thin people tend to cluster with thin people, and not just for warmth, and that people with more mass tend to gravitate toward one another, too. But it’s not the folksy friends with the similar physique, or the people who pack on the pounds, or frequent the same fast food franchises, or avoid the same gyms. What the scientists think is happening is that those around you start plumping out, you come to think that being a bit hefty isn’t such a bad thing. Then you become larger, so do your friends, and your friends’ friends, and their friends as well. The good news is that losing weight should also make your friends lighter. So water (not sure, but definitely not worry)the salad and skip dessert, believe me, your friends will be glad what you did.

As you’ve probably heard the US is in the midst of obesity epidemic--The American just keep getting fatter and fatter. But the bad news does not end there. Because in today’s issue of New England Journal of Medicine, scientists from Harvard and University of California in San Diego report that obesity is actually Contagious and it seems that you may catch it from your friend. After analysis 32 years with data from more than 12000 individuals, the researchers found that thin people tend to cluster with thin people, and not just for warmth. And people with more mass tend to aggravate to one and another too. But it’s not the folksy friends with similar forsee or the people who pack on the pounds all frequent the same fast food franchise or avoid same gyms. What the scientist think is happening, is that those around you start pumping out, you come to think that being a bit hefty isn’t such a bad thing. Then you become larger, so do your friends, and your friends’ friends and their friends as well. The good news is that losing weight should also make your friends lighter. So worry the salad, and skip the dessert. Believe me, your friend will be glad what you did.

I really appreciate that every time you always point out my mistakes, which motivates me to keep on fighting in the upcoming script. Thank you for your help!!  :handshake :)

As you've probably heard, the US is in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Americans just keep getting fatter and fatter. But the bad news doesn't end there. Because in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists from Harvard and University of California San Diego report that obesity is actually contagious and it seems you catch it from your friends. After analyzing 32 years worth (not sure) of data from more than 12 thousand individuals, the researchers found that thin people tend to cluster with thin people, and not just for warmth, and the people with more mass tend to gravitate toward one another too. But it's not the folksy friends with the similar physique, or the people who pack on the pounds, or frequent the same fast food franchises, or avoid the same gyms. What the scientists think is happening is that those around you start plumping out, you come to think that being a bit hefty isn't such a bad thing. Then you become larger, so do your friends, and your friends' friends, and their friends as well. The good news is that losing weight should also make your friends lighter. So order the salad and skip dessert. Believe me, your friends will be glad you did.

to kelediguo
in the first item of "worry" in WM dictionary, it is said "to shake and mangle with the teeth"
That's why I think the word in script on July 26 might be "worry"...
Can anybody explain more clearly? like, Zhenzhen?

This is just in. Diomands are not likely to formed in the atmosphere of gas giants, planets such as Uranus and Neptune. Now if I know(not sure?) you, you probably never thought to look for diamonds in the outer reach of solar system. But that's what physicists were recently contemplating. In the carbon-reject atmosphere of these giant planets, they figured diamonds might just rain from the sky, or at least crystalize there. But in the upcoming issue of the Journal of Physical View Letters, physicists from Amsterdam, Netherland say "no way". According to their calculations, the temperatures and pressures present in and around plants, like Uranus, will be more suitable for generating graphite. Yes, the atmosphere around the outer most planet could be filled with pencil lead. But wait, there is more. The same scientists contend that white dwarfs which are the end stage of the great majority of stars or galaxy are variable diamond factories. Conditions there are perfectly suitable for transforming carbon atoms into sparkling gems. Indeed, three years ago, astronomer spotted a white dwarf whose core appeared to be a diamond 25 hundred miles wide. Now, that would make an engagement ring. It would break your finger and your bank account.

紫色的字是和dcb不一样的地方，我仍然不太确定。一些内容参考了dcb的听抄笔记作了修改，相比之下自己还要多多努力才行了……

This is just in, diamonds are not like to form in the atmosphere of Gas Gaints, planet such as Uranus and Neptune. Now if I knew(not sure) you, you probably never thought to look for diamonds in the outreaches of our solar system, but that's what the physicists were recently contemplating. In the carbon rich atmosphere of these gaint planet, they figure diamonds may just rain from the sky or least crystalize there. But in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Physics Review Letters, physicists from Amsterdam in Netherland say "no way". According to their calculations, the temperatures and pressures present in or around the planets like Uranus would be more suitable for generating graphite. Yes, the atmosphere around the outer most planet could be filled with pencil lead. But wait, there's more. The same scientists content that white dwarfs which is the end stage of great majority of stars in our galaxy are variable diamond factories. Conditions there are perfectly suitalbe for transforming cabon atoms to sparking gems. Indeed, 3 years ago, the astronomers spotted a white dwarf whose core appeared to be a diamond 2500 miles wide. Now, that will make an engagement ring that'll break you finger and your bank account.

This just in! Diamonds are not like leader form in the atmosphere of gas giants, planets such as Uranus and Neptune. Now if I know(?) you, you probably never thought to look for diamonds in the outer reach of our solar system. But that's what physicists were recently contemplating. In the carbon-rich atmospheres of these giant planets, they figure diamonds might just rain from the sky, or at least crystallize there. But in an upcoming issue of the Jounal of Physical Review Letters, physicists from Amsterdam Netherland say, "No Way!". According to their calculations, the temperatures and pressures present in and around planets like Uranus would be more suitable for generating graphite. Yes, the atmosphere around or out of most planets could be filled with pencil lead. But, wait! There's more. The same scientist contained that white dwarfs, which are the end stage of the great majority of stars or galaxy, are veritable diamond factories. Conditions there are perfectly suitable for transforming carbon atoms into sparkling gems. Indeed, three years ago, astronomers spotted a white dwarf whose core appeared to be a diamond 25 hundred miles wide. Now that would make an engagement-ring that would break your finger and your bank account.

Not sure for the blue part :)
Thanks dcb for the red part:))

I'm not sure. Maybe you're right. I looked "worry" up in the dictionary. It's true. It has the meaning "To seize with the teeth and shake or tug at repeatedly."

But in my opinion, eating salad don't need to do that. I'm really confused.

I found worry's some other meaning in the dictionary. It says: To touch, move, or handle idly; toy with. Maybe that's the explanation?

In my opinion, those who are accustomed to have chips and cheese that lead to obesity may be tortured by the salad. Taking Keren's advice, "worry" may figuratively reflect how difficult they are when they can merely have the boring salad instead. That's my comprehension from the content of the  script.hoho~~
