is now the small French fries

过去曾是被叫做大包
and so a lot of people will order something,

所以当人们走进饭店
like they'll go to a restaurant and they'll say,

点餐的时候营业员问
well would you like small, medium or large?

你想要小包中包还是大包的薯条
And people would well I'm kind of an average person--I'll have medium.

大部分人都是中间派会要个中包的
But medium today is not what medium used to be,

但现在的中包薯条和过去的大小不同
and because of that people really make a lot of errors

因为这人们理解什么是每日摄入量时
in understanding how much a portion is.

就犯了很多错误
Here are some examples.

这里有些例子
For example, a portion of pasta

比如说意大利面的每日摄入量
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture

根据美国农业部
would be about the amount of pasta

是如此的份量
