骨瘦如柴的模特禁止上T台

　　Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.

　　据当地媒体报导，

　　Madrid's regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year's show because they weigh too little.

　　去年参加时尚秀的模特，约1/3因为太瘦被马德里地方政府禁止登台。

　　The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organisation to come up with a minumum body mass--a height-weight ratio--of 18 for the models.

　　当局和西班牙的一个健康组织联合制定了模特最小的体重指数，即身高体重比为18。

　　It was the first time such restrictions had been imposed on a fashion show, although a recent wedding dress exhibition in Barcelona banned fashion models who took a dress size below 38 (British size 10, US size eight).

　　时尚秀采用这种限制还是首次，不过最近在巴塞罗那的一次

　　Several models at last year's show provoked a row when they claimed their careers would be under threat if they put on weight.

　　参加去年时尚秀的有些模特声称如果体重增加将会威胁到她们的事业，这激起了一番争论。

　　Organisers said they wanted to "help ensure public opinion does not associate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase in anorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered...as a mental and behavioural problem".

　　组织者说他们想“帮助确立一种社会意识，不要把时尚，特别是时尚秀和厌食症的增加联系到一起。厌食症和贪食症都被认为......是精神和行为问题。”
