You're not at risk of falling into a food coma if you're just having a few bites of a snack, though.

但如果你只是吃了几块零食，就不用担心陷入“食物昏迷”。

But if you overeat at Thanksgiving dinner, there's a price to be paid for all this plenty: the Thanksgiving "food coma."

如果你在感恩节大餐吃的很多，将会为那满桌的食物付出点儿代价：瞌睡。

Not only will you avoid the afternoon food coma, the big breakfast will make you more productive in the mornings. Double win.

所以除了避免中午吃的太丰盛会让你更有，早上吃丰盛点也会让你更有效率。

Food coma refers to the feeling of listlessness, bordering on sleep, that one feels after eating a large meal, often caused by a rush of blood to the stomach and intestines during food digestion.

“饭气攻心”指的是在大吃一顿后感到的困倦，通常是因为在食物消化过程中血液大量涌向胃的缘故。

This is done today in many cultures, where the very old and feeble refuse food and a tender good-bye is given during the few days of their rather painless decline into coma and death.

在今天的许多文化中，这正上演着； 非常年迈和虚弱的人拒绝吃食物，最后几天里，他们微弱地说声“再见”后就进入了无痛苦的昏迷和死亡之中。
