纽约市健康部的凯西·诺娜说：
"We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchase the food and make a decision, an informed decision,
“我们希望让消费者能够在知情的情况下做出购物决定。
that if they want to make the healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories, they can.
如果他们希望买更健康的食物，想摄入更少的热量，这是可以实现的。
And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity.

And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes, and heart disease, and high blood pressure."
当然，如果它能改善肥胖问题，那么它也就会降低糖尿病、心脏病和高血压的患病率。
The new rules were introduced as part of an anti-obesity campaign that also includes a recent citywide ban on artificial trans-fats in restaurant food.
这项规定是该城市最近发起的反肥胖症运动的一部分。此次反肥胖症运动还颁布了一条禁止全城餐馆使用人工反式脂肪的禁令。
The menu rule only applies to restaurants that serve standardized portion sizes and have 15 or more locations nationwide.
菜单新规只适用于提供标准化饮食份量、并在全国有15家或以上连锁店的餐馆。
Starting last Saturday, chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties of up to 2000 dollars for not showing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus, preferably next to the price.
从上周六开始，符合条件的餐馆需要在其菜单明显位置，最好在价格旁边显示卡路里信息，否则将会面临多达2000美元的罚款。
