A plate of greasy noodles, vodka-like alcohol, and a cigarette for lunch—this appears to be a typical lunch for middle-class Chinese.一盘油腻的面、类似伏特加味道的酒，和一根香烟,，这似乎是中国中产阶级人士的典型午餐。

Unhealthy diet and habits coupled with sedentary work and lack of exercise are contributing to many chronic health problems in China.
不健康的饮食习惯，加上久坐不动的工作和缺乏运动，导致在中国有许多慢性病的健康问题。

As China moves from a mainly poor, rural community to a richer, urban society, chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes become the leading cause of death—heart disease and cancer, the two top killers.
因为中国从一个多数贫穷的农村，变成一个富有的城市社会，慢性疾病如：心脏、中风，癌症，慢性呼吸道疾病和糖尿病，成为主要死亡的原因。心脏疾病和癌症是两个头号杀手。

The World Health Organization states that chronic diseases are the cause of more than 80 percent of deaths in China in 2008.
世界卫生组织指出，2008年，中国死亡人数中，超过80%来自慢性疾病。

China Daily reported the Chinese Health Ministry Deputy Director said several months ago that chronic illnesses account for 85 percent of all deaths in China.
中国日报报导，中国卫生部副主任说，几个月前，中国死亡人数有85%归因于慢性疾病。

The prevention of chronic illnesses is expensive. A July World Bank report states that lowering the death rate of heart diseases by one percent a year over 30 years could cost as much as $11 trillion or 68 percent of China’s 2010 GDP.
预防慢性疾病很昂贵。世界银行七月的一份报告指出，一年降低心脏病死亡率一个百分点，30年会花费11兆美元或2010年中国国内生产总值的68％。
