“零号身材”真的美吗？

最近几年，欧洲一些国家的时尚界开始关注模特的健康，并对厌食症和不健康节食行为发起抵制活动。不过呢，身边总有年轻的女孩子嫌自己不够瘦，抱怨自己穿不上“零号”的衣服。可是，这样的“零号身材”真的美吗？

Regarded as the minimum size in US clothing, "size zero" now refers to those unbelievably skinny people (especially women)，or trends associated with them. The super skinny style sprung up on fashion industry runways and later was adopted by a world of young girls targetting a bony "size zero" figure.
“零号”是美国服装标准中的最小号，现在多用来指那些身形及其瘦削的人（尤其是女性），或者他们这些人引出的（追逐小号身材的）风潮。这种超瘦的身形最初见于时尚界的T台，后来被更多追求骨感“零号”身材的年轻女孩子所接受。

Women might feel pressured into being able to fit the smallest clothing size available, due to the prevalence of the ideal of a very slim, hourglass shape. Whilst it is perfectly possible for an adult or teenaged female to be healthy and fit a size zero, it should be acknowledged that normal differences in female body shape make this goal unattainable and unadvisable for many.
由于普遍接受的理想身材是苗条而又玲珑有致的“沙漏”型身材，因此很多女性都为了能够穿进最小号的衣服而承受了不少压力。虽说一位健康的成年女性或者十几岁的女孩子有可能穿进一件零号的衣服，但我们要知道的是，女性身形的正常尺寸差别并不可能让很多人都能够穿进零号的衣服，而且我们也不建议大家做这种尝试。
