捧场2－英国女人“波澜更壮阔”

　　BRITISH women have ballooned in size over the past 80 years, a report yesterday revealed.The vital statistics for the average woman have risen from 31-20-32 in the 1920s to 36-26-38 in 2001.Bigger breasts are reflected in the increased sizes. More D-cup bras are now sold in the UK than in any other western country.

　　日前英国发表的一份调查报告显示，英国女人在过去的80年里迅速“膨胀”。那至关重要的三围数字由平均的31-20-32（上世纪20年代）升至36-26-38（2001年）。英国女人变得“波澜壮阔”反映在她们那急速晋级的胸围杯数上。在所有西方国家中，英国售出最多的D杯胸围。

　 Modern women actually eat less, consuming 2,000 calories a day compared with 2,500 calories in the 1940s.But today''s diet is far higher in fat. Household appliances and sedentary jobs mean women also take less exercise, says dieting website realslimmers.com.The report said: "In the 1920s, women burned off their calories doing housework by hand. In 2001, an increasing number of women sit in front of computer screens all day."

　　如今女人其实吃的更少，只是食物中的脂肪含量更高。现代化的家居与办公室工作使女性缺乏运动。报告称，在20年代，女性手工完成多数家务活，体内热量被消耗，但现在，更多的女性整天对着电脑工作。
