- aDo you hear what happened to Sally?
你听说莎利出什么事了吗?
- bNo, what?
没有,什么事?
- aShe had to go to the hospital.
她必须去医院。
- bWhy?
为什么?
- aShe passed out in class. Seems she hadn't eaten anything in days.
她在课堂上昏倒了。好像她几天没有吃东西了。
- bWhy on earth would she do that? You mean that she intentionally did not eat any food for days? That's crazy!
她究竟为什么要那样做?你是说她故意几天不吃东西?那真是疯狂!
- aYeah, but that's what she did.
是的,但她是那么做的。
- bI can't believe that there are girls who are willing to do that to their bodies. And all for a certain look.
我不相信有女孩子愿意对她的身体那样做,况且仅仅是为了某些方面好看。
- aWell, it's not just the girl’s fault. It's also society's fault - magazines and ads that show - thin models all saying ,It's in to be thin. It's hard for them not to listen.
唔,这不只是这个女孩子的过错。也是社会的过错——那些登着最瘦模特的杂志和广告都说,减肥很流行。对她们来说,不听是很难的。
- bTrue, but there are limits. Being thin is one thing; starving oneself to death is another. No one forces them to do this.
是这样,但也要有限度。减肥是一回事,把自己饿死是另外一回事。没有人强迫她们这样做。
