body shaming/ 肢体羞辱/ (zhītǐ xiūrǔ)

A: Did you know that a girl middle school student was bullied because of issues with her figure and so she choose to start forcing herself to throw up?

你知道最近有一个初中女生因为自己的身材问题遭到霸凌,而选择催吐。

(nǐ zhīdào zuìjìn yǒuyīɡè chūzhōnɡ nǚshēnɡ yīnwéi zìjǐ de shēncái wèntí zāodào bàlínɡ, ér xuǎnzé cuītǔ.)

B: That's hard to believe. I'm really sensitive about the issue of body shaming and am really conservative about popular topics on the internet such as being able to put a coin on your collarbone. 

难以置信,我对肢体羞辱话题非常敏感,对网上流行的锁骨放硬币等热门话题持保留态度。

(nányǐ zhìxìn, wǒduì zhītǐ xiūrǔ huàtí fēichánɡ mǐnɡǎn,duì wǎnɡshànɡ liúxínɡ de suǒɡǔfànɡyìnɡbì děnɡ rèmén huàtí  chí bǎoliú tàidù.)

A: For me, it is good to want to chase after the perfect figure, but to hold others to this standard is clearly a type of bullying. Not only adult women, young girls now are also being hurt by body shaming. 

自身而言,对完美身材有所追求是好事,但用这样的标准去评价他人显然是一种霸凌。不仅是成年女性,现在小女孩也承受着肢体羞辱带来的伤害。

(zìshēn éryán, duì wánměi shēncái yǒusuǒ zhuīqiú shì hǎoshì, dàn yònɡzhèyànɡde biāozhǔn qù pínɡjià tārén xiǎnránshì yīzhǒnɡ bàlínɡ.bùjǐn shì chénɡniánnǚxìnɡ,xiànzài xiǎonǚhái yěchénɡshòu zhe zhītǐxiūrǔ dàiláide shānɡhài.)

B: Every woman should see herself as unique and love herself. No need to purposely cater to others, do you agree with me ?

每一个女性都应把自己看做是独一无二的人,不需要刻意迎合, 你同意吗?

(měi yīɡè nǚxìnɡ dōu yīnɡ bǎ zìjǐ kànzuò shì dúyīwúèrderén, bù xūyào kèyì yínɡhé,nǐ tónɡyì ma?)
