迈向素食主义的七种方法
If you rush into any new diet without preparing,you will probably find it quite hard.So take veganism a step at a time.Many vegans consider dairy the cruellest of food industries,so you could start by cutting out milk and cheese,then eliminate meat,then eggs.Or go vegan just two days a week to begin with.It is better to ease into veganism over a month or two and then stick with it,than to dive in too fast and wonder why it didn’t work for you.
如果你未加准备就匆忙开始某种饮食习惯，你可能会发现很难。所以呢，一次只需向素食主义迈一步。许多素食主义者认为乳制品是食品工业中最残酷的，所以你可以先戒掉牛奶和奶酪，继而不吃肉，之后连鸡蛋也不吃。或者刚开始一周只吃两天素食。在开头一两个月的时间里，从容地吃纯素，坚持下去，总比先猛吃而后坚持不下去，还要想着为什么我无法做到吃素要好得多。
Eat out with confidence
自信地外出就餐
Don’t worry about eating out:most high-street chains-including Wagamama,Pizza Express,Gourmet Burger and Nando’s–have popular vegan options.Most menus at Chinese,Indian,Thai and Mexican restaurants have delicious plant-based dishes too.On the road a lot?The Happy Cow app can help you find vegan-friendly outlets.
不要担心外出就餐：大多数商业街连锁店-包括Wagamama、Pizza Express、Gourmet Burger和Nando‘s-都有广受欢迎的素食餐。在中国，印度，泰国和墨西哥大多数餐馆的菜单上也有美味的素食菜肴。经常去旅行?不用担心，“Happy Cow”这款应用能轻松助你找到素食店。
Brace yourself for odd reactions
准备好面对他人奇怪的反应
Meat-eaters are sometimes far more interested in veganism than vegans themselves.So,be ready for odd questions(“That’s a shame–but you can still eat fish,right?”);unsolicited defence-mechanisms(“I don’t like holier-than-thou vegans and I only eat humanely slaughtered meat”);or even unprovoked verbal attacks.It can be overwhelming,but remind yourself that they are ones who feel uncomfortable with veganism,not you.
有时，肉食者比素食者更对素食主义更感兴趣。所以，准备好面对奇怪的问题(“太遗憾了——但你还是可以吃鱼的，对吧?”);有些人可能会自觉抵制：(“我不喜欢你们这些神圣的素食主义者，我只吃人道屠宰的肉。”);甚至会有无缘无故的口头攻击。这些可能无法承受，但是，提醒自己，那些人不是针对你，只是对素食主义感到不爽。
Connect with other vegans
寻找素食同盟
Vegans are a growing minority:a recent survey claimed that there are now 3.5 million of us in the UK.So if you connect with vegan groups on Facebook you can instantly tap into a mine of wisdom and experience on everything from recipes to the tastiest non-dairy Parmesan,or the most vegan-friendly cafe in Aberystwyth.
素食主义者是一个不断壮大的群体：最近的一项调查显示，英国现在有350万素食主义者。因此，如果你在脸书上和素食团体联系，你就可以迅速获得各方面的智慧和经验，从食谱到不含乳制品的帕尔马干酪，甚至哪家咖啡馆更接纳素食，应有尽有。
Learn your labels
学会看食品标签
Understanding how food labels work will save you a lot of time in the supermarket aisles.Legally,manufacturers have to state any allergens in the product,so milk or eggs will usually be highlighted in bold in the ingredients.However,if a label says the product“may contain milk”,this simply means it was made in a factory where milk is also present and doesn’t mean it isn’t vegan.(For a nice surprise,Google“accidentally vegan”for a comprehensive and growing list of all the well-known products that are vegan by accident.)
逛超市时，会读食物标签为你省去大量时间。按照法律规定，食品生产商必须注明视频中的过敏源，因此，在原料中，牛奶或鸡蛋一般以粗体突出标注出来。然而，如果标签上说该产品“可能含有牛奶”，这只是说明生产该产品的工厂也生产牛奶，并不意味着不是素食。(令人惊奇的是，谷歌“偶然素食”可得到一份全面有不断增长的知名素食产品清单，它们也是无意中成为素食的。)
Transcend imitation
越过模仿阶段
You can buy vegan versions of everything from mozzarella to fried chicken and doner kebabs.There are even meat-free steaks that bleed.These tasty products can be useful during your early days on the plant-based path,but you might find it rewarding to move away from imitating meat-eaters and instead stand confident as a vegan.
无论是马苏里拉奶酪，还是炸鸡和烤肉，都可以买到纯素的。甚至还有流血的素牛排。这些美味的素肉在刚刚步入素食主义的道路上颇有用处，但你可能会发现，放弃模仿肉食者，而做一个自信的肉食主义者，会更有收获。
Focus on the why
不忘初心
If you find yourself wobbling,remember why you made the change.Whether it is because you no longer wanted to endorse the meat and dairy industries,or because going vegan can be one of the easiest and most effective ways to help the environment,it pays to remember why you went vegan.
如果你发现自己摇摆不定，想想改变的初衷。不管是因为你不再支持肉类和奶制品行业，还是因为素食主义可能是帮助环境的最简单和最有效的方法之一，只要记住你为何选择素食，就是值得的。
