中國流行A4腰挑戰 夏天沒到就已哭暈在廁所
The latest in extremely dangerous social media trends is the A4 waist challenge, a "fitness" test for people to judge whether their waists are paper-thin.
最近在互聯網上極度盛行的潮流就是A4腰挑戰了。這個挑戰是一種“健身”測驗，讓人們判斷他們的腰是否和A4紙一般大小。The topic is trending on the Chinese social media site Weibo, and 110,000 users have posted photos holding pieces of A4 paper, measuring 8.27 inches wide, up to their waists and tagging #I Have An A4 Waist.
這個話題在中國的社交網絡微博上十分流行，有11萬用戶上傳了他們在腰部手持一張A4紙的照片（大約8.27英寸寬）並加上了#我有A4腰的話題。If they can hide their waists behind the paper, they consider themselves "fit." One user bragged, "I'm a size smaller than A4. I'm A5."
如果他們能用一張A4紙蓋住自己的腰，他們就會認爲自己的身材很"完美"。一名用戶還自誇道："我的腰比A4紙還小，我是A5腰。"
Luckily, some sane Weibo users have put the trend under fire.
幸運的是，一些理智的用戶並未盲目跟風。Critics have posted photos holding the paper horizontally, putting it on small pets, or holding up oversize pieces of poster board instead. "So are they insinuating smaller is better?" one Twitter user wrote. "Not cool to offend the girls who don't measure up in this manner."
批評人士上傳了一些照片作爲諷刺：有水平放置A4紙的，還有用A4紙比量小寵物的，或者是用一張大海報來測量腰的。一位推友表示："他們是在暗示更細的腰更好嗎？冒犯那些沒有這麼細的腰的女孩子們可不是一件多好的事情。"While the average healthy waist measurement is 32.5 inches for women and 35 inches for men.
健康的平均腰圍數據是：女性32.5英寸、男性35英寸。Even some of history's most coveted bodies don't make the cut when an A4-size rectangle is put against their bodies to scale.
一些史上最迷人的身體甚至都沒能滿足A4腰的條件。We nominated Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Marilyn Monroe, and Naomi Campbell to step up to the plate. With their diverse body types ranging from super curvy to thin and athletic, very petite to statuesque, and with waistlines ranging from 22 to 26.5 inches, only Marilyn Monroe with her tiny 22-inch waist passed the A4 challenge.
我們選取了吉吉·哈迪德、金·卡戴珊、瑪麗蓮·夢露以及娜奧米·坎貝爾來進行這項測試。她們的身材類型不同，有的超級豐滿，有的苗條，有的健美，有的均衡嬌小。她們的腰圍則從22英寸到26.5英寸不等。但是隻有瑪麗蓮·夢露憑藉她22英寸的細腰通過了A4腰的考驗。
