More than two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and recent research suggests many are increasingly fine with staying that way.

最近的研究表明，超过三分之二的美国人超重或肥胖，并且许多人越来越不介意保持这种状态。

Researchers studied data from an ongoing, nationally representative survey of Americans' eating and lifestyle habits, specifically looking at people who responded to a question asking if they had attempted to lose weight during the past 12 months.

研究人员研究了全美国人饮食和生活习惯的数据，特别是针对那些表明自己在过去一年内曾试图减过肥的人。

The percentage of overweight and obese adults who answered "yes" had steadily declined over the past 30 years, the authors found, even as the percentage of overweight and obese adults likewise rose.

研究作者发现，在过去30年中，尽管超重和肥胖成年人的比例在上升，但超重和肥胖的成年人中表明自己曾减过肥的比例却稳步下降。

The changing trends suggest that, at the very least, Americans' perception of their own weight has gradually shifted in response to rising obesity rates, senior study author Dr. Jian Zhang, an epidemiologist at Georgia Southern University, told Vocativ in an email.

佐治亚南方大学的流行病学家、高级研究作者张简博士在一封邮件中告诉Vocativ：这个变化趋势至少可以表明，面对不断上升的肥胖率，美国人对自己体重的感觉已经在逐渐改变了。
