Don Gorske was honoured after reaching the meaty milestone during a ceremony at a McDonald's in his hometown of Fond du Lac.
在他家乡的一家麦当劳里，Don Gorske在一场庆典中达到了自己的巨无霸里程碑。
Guinness
World Records recognised Mr Gorske's feat three years and 2,000 Big
Macs ago, and the 59-year-old says he has no desire to stop.
三年前吉尼斯世界纪录确认了Gorske的记录，而到了现在他又多吃了2000个巨无霸，不仅如此59岁的他说自己没有停下来的计划。
"I plan on eating Big Macs until I die," he said.
“我打算一直吃到死。”他说
"I
have no intentions of changing. It's still my favourite food. Nothing
has changed in 39 years. I look forward to it every day."
“我没有改变的计划。这依然是我最爱的食物。39年来没有改变。每天我依然期待着吃到这个。”
Mr Gorske, who appeared in the 2004 documentary Super Size Me, which examined the fast food industry, looks nothing like one might expect of a fast food junkie.
Gorske曾经出现在2004年的纪录片《超码的我》中，但他看起来完全不像一个大家想象中只吃垃圾快餐的人的样子。
He's trim and walks regularly for exercise, and he attributes his build to being "hyperactive."
他身材消瘦，常常走路健身，他将此归功于自己的“多动”。
He said he was recently given a clean bill of health and that his cholesterol is low.
他说自己最近一次的体检结果很健康，而且胆固醇很低。
Mr
Gorske's obsession with the burger started May 17, 1972, when he bought
three Big Macs to celebrate the purchase of a new car. He was hooked,
and went back to McDonald's twice more that day, eating nine before they
closed.
Gorske与汉堡的不解之缘始于1972年5月17日，当时他买了三个巨无霸以庆祝自己买了新车。此后就一发不可收拾，当天他就两次回到麦当劳，吃了一共九个汉堡直到他们关门。
He's only gone eight days since without a Big Mac, and most days he eats two.
到现在他最长没吃汉堡的时间不过8天，一般他每天都吃两个。
Among the reasons he skipped a day was to grant his mother a dying wish.
有一天没吃的理由是因为他妈妈的临终遗愿。
His
last Big Mac-less day was Thanksgiving 2000, when he forgot to stock up
and the restaurant was closed for the traditional American harvest
holiday.
他最后一次没有巨无霸的一天是在2000年的感恩节，当时他忘了提前储备，而麦当劳又因这个美国传统节日而关门了一天。
Mr
Gorske said he loves numbers and counting things and was inspired to
start counting his burgers because McDonald's noted how many hamburgers
were served on their sign.
Gorske说自己喜欢数字，也喜欢计数。因为看到麦当劳会在自己标志下面写上共卖出了多少汉堡，他决定开始记录自己吃下的汉堡数。
He
said he probably has an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and that he
likes repetition and doesn't like change. He said he's kept many of the
Big Mac boxes and receipts over the years, and has noted his purchases
in calendars he's kept.
他说自己可能有强迫症。他喜欢重复，不喜欢改变。他说自己保留了很多巨无霸的盒子和收据，还在日历上记下每天的购买数。
McDonald's
says there are 540 calories in a Big Mac, which is more than a quarter
of the calories a person on a 2,000-calorie diet would consume.
麦当劳说每个巨无霸的卡路里含量是540卡，这占到了每人每天2000卡路里标准的四分之一还多。
Mr
Gorske said he likes other foods, including bratwurst and lobsters, but
that he loves Big Macs and his wife Mary, a nurse, never has to worry
about making him a meal.
Gorske说自己也喜欢别的事物，比如腊肠和龙虾，但他最爱的还是巨无霸。而他的太太，护士Mary则永远不用为他做饭。
"I really do enjoy every Big Mac," he said.
“每个巨无霸我都是真的喜欢。”他说
He said his wife jokes about ending his streak.
他说他的太太开玩笑说要终止他的巨无霸之旅。
"She says when she has to put them in a blender, it's over," he said.
“她说要是哪天我咬不动了，要她把巨无霸打成汁，那就是我结束的一天。”他说。
