女性完美身材百年变迁史

Hemlines fell in 1930, when morale was low following the stock market crash. Curves seeped their way back into fashion and women dared to bare their shoulders.

20世纪30年代，随着股票市场大跌，整个社会士气低落。曲线美再次成为时尚潮流，女性也敢于露出她们的肩膀。

This slightly more voluptuous look was embraced by the media, which lead nicely into the screen queen era of the 1940s.

这些撩人的美貌通过媒体传遍了大街小巷，也因此开创了20世纪40年代的荧屏皇后时代。

The Forties woman was one inch larger all round than the Flapper simply because she was better nourished.

这些40年代女性由于饮食比较有营养，整体体型要比20年代那些年轻女郎大一英寸。

The Forties laid the foundation for women becoming taller as the Government decreed that every child was entitled to one-third of a pint of milk a day, so promoting the growth of strong bones. This continued in schools until Margaret Thatcher scrapped it in the 1970s.

由于当时政府下令规定孩子每天必须要喝三分之一品脱的牛奶以保证骨骼的健康发育，因此40年代的女性个子相对较高。学校一直在执行这一规定，直到70年代玛格丽特•撒切尔（Margaret Thatcher）执政后才将它废除。
