51、i driver.,up,off,on/upon,back,Part II Working with Expressions,Para 1,体胖心宽 在大学的照片上我很瘦。那时我全天工作，全天上学，抽烟，吃快餐，喝软饮料。朋友们说现在的我和照片中的我一点都不像。那时的我看上去一脸病态、情绪低落、身体很差。,译 文,Para 2,根据医学标准，我现在的体重已经超标到危险的程度，但我的生活状况比以前任何时候都好。我戒了烟，每天吃很多蔬菜；我喜欢散步、游泳、学跳舞。我积极锻炼，注意饮食，并不是为了减肥，而是因为我热爱生活。医生说我很健康，这比苗条重要得多。研究表明坚持运动的肥胖者的死亡率比不运动的“

52、正常”体重者低得多。,译 文,Para 3,人们从孩童时代就开始歧视肥胖者。一项研究表明，在幼儿园，孩子们更喜欢同龄的残疾儿童的照片而不喜欢肥胖儿童的照片。与此相似，一项对大学生的调查显示，他们宁可同吸毒者、小偷或盲人结婚，也不愿意同肥胖者结婚。这类态度导致了肥胖者在生活各方面受到歧视，包括经济方面。事实上，一项研究表明肥胖的白种妇女的收入比苗条的白种妇女少24%。,译 文,Para 4,人们常常为歧视肥胖者找借口，认为肥胖是自己选择的。选择？在这样一个对体重高度敏感的文化中谁愿意选择做胖子呢？社会上对于肥胖存在种种错误观念：所有的肥胖者都有饮食、感情或精神问题；要是他们真想减肥，是可以做到的

53、。,译 文,Para 5&6,然而，事实上，有些人天生就肥胖。人的体型是一个科学问题，而不应该成为评价一个人性格的依据。疾病控制中心的报告表明78% 的美国妇女正竭力试图减肥，但成功率却出奇的低其中95%的人在2至5年内又恢复了原来的体重。 常常有人对我说“你有一张漂亮的脸。”我却对此不以为然，因为我知道他们的潜台词：“你要是瘦一些的话会很漂亮的。”其实美是别人教给的概念，而且美的文化标准也在不断变化。,译 文,Para 7&8,后来的生活中我欣喜地了解到，不同文化的审美标准是不同的。有一次我来到英属维尔京群岛，一名当地人邀请我和他在海滩上一起拍照。我问他：“你为什么选我呢？这儿有些女人身材好得像模特。” 他微笑着对我说：“狗才喜欢骨头，男人喜欢肉。”,译 文,
