近日，浙江工商大學(xué)的食堂火了，還登上了BBC的熱門頭條。據(jù)報(bào)道，學(xué)校食堂推出了“微信步數(shù)當(dāng)錢花”的活動，運(yùn)動一萬步以內(nèi)的可享9折，一萬步到兩萬步的可享8.5折，而達(dá)到四萬步以上則可享5.5折的優(yōu)惠！
網(wǎng)友對比表示點(diǎn)贊并稱，別人家的大學(xué)，從來不會讓我失望。哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！

The news report has been liked by tens of thousands of people on Weibo - China's equivalent of Twitter.
like
在微博、微信等社交媒體應(yīng)用里的“點(diǎn)贊”操作，在英文里通常都用“l(fā)ike”來表示，不信，你把設(shè)置里的語言調(diào)成英文試試。

'Knees on fire'
One Weibo user, who claims to be a dietician at a Chinese university, called the scheme "a good one" and said: "this is an economic method for a balanced diet and exercise."?But not everyone's cheering the idea. The most popular comment questions whether the steps are realistic.

表示“飲食學(xué)家，營養(yǎng)師”，英文解釋為“someone who is trained to give people advice about what it is healthy for them to eat and drink”。
"40,000 steps, the knees must be on fire," the user said. Another wrote he suffered from muscle strain after walking 40,000 steps.
strain
表示“（肌肉或人體部位的）拉傷；扭傷；勞損”，英文解釋為“an injury to a muscle or part of your body that is caused by using it too much”舉個(gè)??：

In response to the concerns, the university said that walking is just one of the activities accepted under the scheme.
A manager at the university's canteen explained how the idea came about: "During the Chinese New Year holiday last month, students enjoyed too much good food at home. But tasty food and exercise can co-exist". “過了一個(gè)寒假，同學(xué)們都吃胖了，我們辦這么個(gè)活動，希望大家在吃的同時(shí)還要運(yùn)動起來。”
This isn't the first time a Chinese university has tried to improve students' fitness levels. Last year, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies introduced a new athletic ability assessment in its PE exam - involving walking 10,000 steps a day.
