Again, it was their highly energetic lifestyle that kept Forties women slim. There was no petrol for cars, and people cycled or walked for miles every day. Girls thought little of walking ten miles home after a Saturday night dance.

令40年代女性保持苗条身材的仍是她们精力充沛的生活方式。那时还没有汽车和汽油，人们日常的出行方式就是单车和步行。因此，对于女孩们而言，周六晚上舞会结束后步行十多英里回家不是什么大不了的事。

 With their men off fighting, fashion changed. The curvy feminine look to cheer returning heroes became the order of the day, with fitted suits and belted flowery dresses to show off the waist, and the Flapper's flattening bodice giving way to the circle-stitched bra.

时尚潮流随着她们的丈夫投身战场发生了变化。在那个时代，为迎接凯旋的战士，曲线优美的女性化身材成为了当下流行。女性们身着合身的套装和华丽的束带裙以展现腰部的曲线。扁平连衣裙上衣不得不给这些圆润的胸罩让路。

Those ideals heightened in the Fifties, when weight gain tablets were promoted in magazines to help women fill out their curves.

当各大杂志开始提倡用药物增肥，使女性的曲线变得更加撩人后，这类身材在50年代时更是受到了热捧。
