Are models to blame for eating 1)disorders?
模特兒該為飲食失調負責？

What makes someone beautiful? Is thinness always beautiful? These are hard questions to answer because what is considered beautiful today might not be considered beautiful tomorrow. Also, what is beautiful in one 2)culture might not be beautiful to another. There is not a 3)universal 4)standard of beauty. |
|
怎麼樣才叫做美？瘦就一定美嗎？這些問題很難回答，因為今天認為是美的東西明天可能就不是了。而且，對某個文化而言是美的，對另一個文化而言卻未必。美並沒有放諸四海皆是的標準。 |
1) disorder (n.) 紊亂，失調
He has an eating disorder and feels hungry all the time.
2) culture (n.) 文化
I think Spanish(西班牙) culture is very interesting.

4) standard (n.) 標準

Most of the models you see on television or in magazines appear beautiful. They are dressed in expensive clothes and wearing 5)professional 6)makeup, and you can't help but 7)admire how beautiful they look. However, if you should see these same models on the street you might be shocked at how thin they are. Some of them look as if they were sick. Many models today are so thin that they're living in real danger. Last August, Luisel Ramos, a 22-year-old model from Uruguay, died of a 8)heart attack after going on a 9)severe 10)diet for several months. Ramos, who died immediately after a fashion show, had been told that she had to lose weight if she wanted to become a supermodel. She hadn't eaten any food in days. |

您在電視或雜誌上看到的模特兒大都很美。她們身穿昂貴的服裝、化上專業的彩妝，讓您忍不住要為她們美麗的外表而讚嘆。然而，如果您在街上看到這些模特兒，可能會驚訝她們竟然會這麼瘦。她們當中有些人看起來就像生病了似的。今天許多模特兒都太瘦了，以致於活在真正的危險當中。今年 8 月，一位來自烏拉圭、芳齡 22 歲的模特兒露西爾•雷莫斯，在厲行節食幾個月之後死於心臟病發。在一場服裝秀後猝死的雷莫斯，事前聽說如果想要成為超級名模就必須減肥。她已經有好幾天沒進食。 |
5) professional (a.) 職業的，專業的
Ken practices every day because he hopes to become a professional basketball player.
6) makeup (n.) 化妝
Susan wears too much makeup and looks a bit funny.
7) admire (v.) 欣賞，稱讚

I've got a severe headache right now.
10) diet (n.) 飲食，節食

3.
Some health 11)experts say that being very thin is not just a dangerous practice for models: it is also a dangerous 12)ideal for young women. The life of a supermodel--traveling around the world, dating rock stars, and being paid for her beauty--can be very attractive to young women. They see 13)glamorous pictures of models and want to 14)imitate what they see. |
|
有些健康專家表示，太瘦不只是模特兒才有的危險習慣：它對年輕女性而言也是一種危險的標竿。超級名模的生活──到世界各地旅行、與搖滾巨星約會以及用美麗換取報酬──非常吸引年輕女性。她們看著模特兒迷人的照片，心裡也想模仿她們所看到的。 |
11) expert (n.) 專家
Sam is an expert on Chinese history.
12) ideal (n.) 理想

After Luisel Ramos' death, the 15)organizers of a fashion show in Madrid, Spain decided to 16)restrict how 17)skinny the models could be. The weight and height of models were measured, and if a model was too skinny she was not allowed to work. Organizers said they did this to 18)protect both the models and the people that 19)look up to them. |
| 露西爾．雷莫斯死後，西班牙馬德里一場時裝秀的主辦單位決定要限制模特兒可以瘦到什麼程度。模特兒要量身高體重，如果太瘦就不准工作。主辦人員表示，他們這麼做是為了同時保護模特兒和以模特兒為典範的人。 |
15) organizer (n.) 組織者，籌辦者
My sister is an organizer of the big party.
16) restrict (v.) 限制，約束
This event(活動) is restricted to adults(成人); children can't attend(參加).
17) skinny (a.) 瘦的，皮包骨的
Do you like skinny girls?
18) protect (v.) 保護
The dog has been trained to protect its master.
19) look up to 尊敬
Children look up to their parents. |
5.
While some people 20)applauded the organizers, others said the 21)restrictions were unnecessary. The models were not making women want to be skinny; they were just giving people what they already liked. Fashion 22)designers asked, "If skinny models make women (too thin), where are the fat models that are making people 23)overweight ?" |
| 有些人向主辦單位喝采，但也有人表示並不需要這種限制。並不是模特兒讓女性想要變瘦；她們只是提供大家本來就想要的東西。時裝設計師反問：「如果說是瘦模特兒造成女性（太瘦），那麼造成民眾過重的胖模特兒在哪兒呢？」 |
20) applaud (v.) 向……鼓掌，稱讚
The audience applauded the singer for three minutes.
21) restriction (n.) 限制，約束

23) overweight (a.) 超重的，過重的
Because my brother is overweight, he plans to exercise(運動) more. |
6.
It is an interesting question. In many places 24)obesity, which is also an eating disorder, causes more deaths than being too thin does. Eating disorders are 25)psychological problems that are caused by things more 26)complicated than looking at too many pictures of models. It is good to make sure models are healthy, but 27)banning skinny models is not going to make people eat just the right amount of food. |
| 這個問題很有意思。在許多地區，肥胖（也是一種飲食失調）造成的死亡比太瘦所造成的還要多。飲食失調是心理問題，原因不只是看到太多模特兒照片那麼單純。確保模特兒健康是件好事，但是禁用太瘦的模特兒卻沒有辦法讓民眾吃得不多也不少。 |
24) obesity (n.) 肥胖，肥胖症
Obesity is becoming a bigger problem among children.
25) psychological (a.) 心理的
Ben has a few psychological problems.
26) complicated (a.) 複雜的
This lesson is too complicated to understand.
27) ban (v.) 禁止
I think smoking should be banned in all buildings. |
