用一些瘦身的人作为励志偶像,看纤细的艺术品也有助减肥。这种励志瘦身减肥的行为就是“励瘦”。而过度的“励瘦”则对健康有危害。“锁骨放硬币”、“反手摸肚脐”、“A4腰”……这些评判身材好的“新标准”都是鼓励年轻人过度节食的坏榜样。
我们来看一段相关的英文报道
Pro-ana sites often feature thinspiration (or thinspo): images or video montages of slim women, often celebrities, who may be anything from naturally slim to emaciated with visibly protruding bones.
Body image and wellbeing expert Katie Lowe said: 'The bikini bridge is just another example of horrendous thinspiration that encourages young women to develop poor body image and self-esteem.
Thinspiration is potentially harmful to users who suffer from disordered eating.
赞成厌食的网站上经常有“励瘦”的图片和视频,这些图片和视频剪辑的主角都是些苗条的女性,经常是明星,她们或者身材苗条自然,或者瘦骨嶙峋,骨头凸起。
身体形象及健康专家卡蒂•洛维说:“比基尼桥是恐怖的‘励瘦’的另一例证,对年轻女性的身形和自尊都有负面影响。”
励瘦对那些饱受进食障碍折磨的人而言有潜在危害。
【讲解】文中的thinspiration就是“励瘦”的意思,这个单词是thin(纤瘦的) 和inspiration的结合。inspiration 用作名词,意为“鼓舞”,也有“灵感”的意思,例如:Many poets and artists have drawn their inspiration from nature.许多诗人和艺术家从大自然中获得灵感。
第二段中,horrendous 用作形容词,意为“可怕的,惊人的”。例如:He described it as the most horrendous experience of his life.他把那件事形容为他生活中最恐怖的经历。
