Defensive¹ eating is strategically consuming food for the sole purpose of preventing others from getting it.

 

防守型吃法就是指技巧性地吃东西，只为防止他人来抢夺。

 

It would frighten others if you choose to lick your food or the peripheral² circle of your cake first to define your manor³. You could also eat the more delicious part first or pretend to frown when you eat it, belying⁴ the actual strength of your food. Only do you use those strategies to protect your food can you be a better foodie!

 

先在自己的食物上舔一下，就可以让别人对你的食物望而生畏，或者吃蛋糕先吃外围一圈，圈下自己的领地。还有可以先吃盘里最好吃的，或者吃东西的时候假装皱眉头不让人知道你所吃的美食的实力，都是防守型吃法。做吃货做到如此，美味才能独享！

 

Example:

 

In order to prevent his friend from getting the palatable⁵ meal, Michael used defensive eating to consume his dishes.

为了不让小伙伴吃到如此美味的饭菜，麦克用防守型吃法吃完了他的菜肴。
