 Michelle Obama spins a hula hoop at a Healthy Kids Fair in the White House.(Agencies) |

Michelle Obama managed to spin a hula hoop for 142 revolutions at a fair at the White House to promote children's health. America's First Lady, a champion of healthy eating who is often celebrated for her muscular arms and athletic physique, hosted a group of school children to the White House for a Healthy Kids Fair on Wednesday. "One of our goals was to focus on the importance of educating our kids about healthy eating," said Mrs Obama. "So it wasn't just about planting a garden," she said, a reference to the family's vegetable patch on the White House lawn. Noting that one in three American children is overweight or obese, Mrs Obama called on parents to improve their children's diets. She urged children to reject junk foods and desserts in favour of healthy foods - but she also encouraged exercise. Setting an example for her audience, the First Lady managed to keep her hula hoop aloft for 142 revolutions before it crashed to the ground. Mrs Obama's hula talent has been noted before by her husband. In July, 2008, Barack Obama told People magazine that his wife was "the best hula-hooper I know. Once she gets the rhythm going, she can drop to her knees!" 點(diǎn)擊查看更多雙語(yǔ)新聞

日前，米歇爾?奧巴馬在白宮舉行的一個(gè)兒童健康推廣會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)起了呼拉圈，共連續(xù)轉(zhuǎn)了142下。 美國(guó)第一夫人米歇爾于本周三邀請(qǐng)一群學(xué)生前往白宮參加一個(gè)兒童健康宣講會(huì)。米歇爾倡導(dǎo)健康飲食，她健美的臂膀和運(yùn)動(dòng)員般的體格常受到褒揚(yáng)。 奧巴馬夫人說(shuō)：“我們的目標(biāo)之一是強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)孩子進(jìn)行健康飲食教育的重要性，所以這不僅僅是種個(gè)菜園那么簡(jiǎn)單?！泵仔獱査f(shuō)的菜園是她在白宮院內(nèi)的草坪上開(kāi)墾的一小塊菜地。 美國(guó)每三個(gè)兒童中就有一人體重超標(biāo)或肥胖，因此米歇爾呼吁父母?jìng)円纳坪⒆觽兊娘嬍?。她敦促孩子們拒絕垃圾食品和甜食，多吃健康食品，此外她還鼓勵(lì)孩子們多鍛煉。 為了給大家樹(shù)立榜樣，第一夫人轉(zhuǎn)起了呼啦圈，并連續(xù)轉(zhuǎn)了142下才落地。 米歇爾的呼啦圈才藝以前就被她的丈夫奧巴馬特別提到過(guò)。2008年7月，巴拉克?奧巴馬在接受《人物》雜志的采訪時(shí)說(shuō)，米歇爾是“我所知道的最棒的呼拉圈能手。她一旦掌握了節(jié)奏，即使用膝蓋轉(zhuǎn)都不會(huì)落！” 相關(guān)閱讀 （英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津陳丹妮 姍姍編輯） |
