I brought in the three frozen little homeless , sick and starving munchkins , and they shared our macaroni dinner with us as we scrambled to fix them milk and oats . they ate everything - the fact that there was no meat did not matter at all 当我把这三只流离失所饥病交迫及快冻僵的小生命带进屋子里，仓促地为它们准备牛奶和燕麦的时候，它们就已经开始吃起我们晚餐的通心面了。
Writing in the american journal of clinical nutrition , rolls and her colleagues said people ate 30 percent more macaroni and cheese when given the largest of four different portions . fewer than half of those tested noticed the differences in the portions they were served 罗斯和他的同事在美国临床营养学杂志上发表文章说，在四份不同份量的食物中，选择了最大份的人会多吃掉30 %的通心面和奶酪。
Before , we heard non - saint stories ; now we hear saint stories , saints jokes , the jokes of the saints , which are a little bit dry , but that s what people expect of saints ; always talking about big philosophy and many parables about the cosmos , the microcosms , macrocosms , and macaroni . . . so a saint can never laugh in public . maybe he can laugh alone ; maybe the saint just buys this kind of book , a joke book , and then sits in his bathroom and reads alone 圣人的笑话有点枯燥，但是一般人都期望圣人就是这样子，总是讲一些有关大宇宙小宇宙及通心面等等的大道理和寓言注：师父玩字，因通心面的英文macaroni与大宇宙macrocosm相近，所以圣人绝不可以在大众面前笑，也许独自一个人的时候可以笑，有可能圣人会买这种笑话书，躲在浴室里自己一个人看，当他出来的时候就说：空即是色，色即是空。
