rather than：而不是、而不

Victoria Abraham, 19, lives and studies in New York City, but grew up in Florida. She says that her first hand experience shows Mr Maher is wrong about fat shaming. "I have been shamed my entire life for my weight and I am still fat. When nasty comments were made to me as a child I used to go home after school and eat food to make myself feel better."

维多利亚-阿巴汗，19岁，在纽约市上学居住，但是是在佛罗里达州长大。她说她的一手经历表明马赫（开头那个BM）对于肥胖羞耻的观点是错误的。“我在我整个生命中都因为体重而遭受羞辱，并且我还是很胖。当对还是孩子的我进行令人厌恶的评论时，我通常会在放学回家后吃东西来让自己感到好一点。”

entire life：整个生命

nasty：肮脏的，极差的，令人厌恶的

Victoria also acknowledges the health impacts of obesity. "I have tried most of them and you just put the weight back on after the diet. Now I just try and do more exercise and eat healthier things."

“超重的体重和肥胖会对我们产生影响的证据摆在那里——在事业，在糖尿病，在心脏疾病——是非常清晰的。因此这时，我们需要用教育，去将其传播出去。”

diabete：糖尿病

"But because the line between getting that message out there and then actually making someone feel ashamed of who they are is so fine, those conversations are very difficult."

但是因为将这个信息（正确的）传达出去，和因此行为造成某些受众的羞耻感这两者之间的界线太细微了，所以这些对话非常困难。
