My computer was broken so I couldn't read your two e-mails until today.I'm so sorry to hear about your problem?，but I'm glad you're feeling better and are recovering.
You're right.We shouldn't be embarrassed(尴尬的) about our weight.I think you look great as you are，and you're a wonderful person.I know that the pressure(压力) to stay slim? is a problem，especially for an actress.However，your mother knows best：nothing is more important than health?.
亲爱的埃米：
我的电脑坏了，所以直到今天我才能够看到你的两封电子邮件。得知你的病情我非常难过，但让我感到高兴的是，你现在感觉良好，身体正在恢复中。
你说得对，我们不应该因为自己的体重而感到难为情。我觉得你目前这个样子看上去就很棒，而且你是一个非常优秀的人。我知道，保持身材苗条的压力是问题的症结所在，尤其是对一个女演员来说。然而，你妈妈最清楚：没有什么比健康更重要。
[助读讲解] ?I'm so sorry to hear about...意为“听说/得知……我感到很难过”，to hear about...为动词不定式作原因状语。?to stay slim为动词不定式作名词pressure的后置定语。 ?“nothing＋be＋比较级＋than...”句型，表示“没有什么比……更……”。该结构用比较级表示最高级含义，此处表示：健康是最重要的东西。 It's the same in China—many people，some of whom are not overweight(体重超标的) at all?，are always going on a diet(节食) or taking weight-loss pills，which are often dangerous?.I hope they can learn from your story.
Love Zhou Ling
在中国也有这样的情况——许多人，其中有些人根本就不超重，总是在节食，或者吃减肥药，这些做法往往是危险的。我希望他们能够从你的经历中吸取教训。
爱你的，
周玲
[助读讲解] ?some of whom...at all是“代词some＋介词of＋关系代词whom”引导的非限制性定语从句。
?which are often dangerous是关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，which代表整个主句的意思。
