At first glance they might be sisters, but look again at this startling picture. They are, in fact, a 26-year-old mother and her daughter. After suffering from anorexia for half her life, Rebecca Jones weighs five stone – less than her seven-year-old daughter, Maisy. And her terrifyingly thin frame is exacerbated by the contrast when they wear identical clothes. 一眼看上去，照片中的两人就像是姐妹，再仔细看看，她们其实是26岁的妈妈和她的女儿。丽贝卡·琼斯患厌食症长达13年，体重只有5英石（约31.75公斤），比她七岁大的女儿美丝还要轻。当琼斯和女儿穿上同样的衣服，她那瘦得恐怖的体形就愈发让人惊骇了。 The medical secretary survives on soup, toast and energy drinks – even though doctors have warned her the lack of nutrients could kill her. At the same time she encourages 5st 9lb Maisy to enjoy chocolate and cupcakes. 琼斯是一名医学秘书。尽管医生一再警告她，营养不良会导致其死亡，她还是只靠喝汤、吃吐司面包以及喝能量饮料来过活。同时，琼斯还鼓励自己5英石9磅（约35.85公斤）重的女儿美丝吃巧克力和蛋糕。 Miss Jones, who at 5ft 1in is eight inches taller than her daughter, said: ‘Wearing the same clothes as Maisy gives me a sense of pride. It’s wrong, but it makes me feel good. I don’t think I’m thin – I always see myself as bigger.’ |
