This week, a group of men have reportedly been handing out fat-shaming cards to women on the London Underground. The cards said things like, “It’s really not glandular, it’s your gluttony. 据报导，本周一群男子在伦敦地铁上给女性发放以胖为耻的卡片。卡片上写着“肥胖不是天生的，贪食造成肥胖。” A multinational study by the University of Connecticut’s Rudd Center for Food Policy suggests that people are in fact considerably sensitive to weight prejudices — and that most of those surveyed would like to see increased laws and government policies to protect overweight people in the workplace. 康涅狄格大学食品政策路德研究中心的跨国研究显示，事实上人们对体重偏见问题相当敏感，大多数受访者希望加强法律和政策保护职场的过胖人群。 Using online surveys, researchers canvassed nearly 3,000 adults in the U.S., Canada, Iceland, and Australia, examining levels of support for legal measures to address weight discrimination. 研究人员采取在线调查方式，问询了近3000名美国、加拿大、冰岛和澳大利亚成人是否支持用法律手段处理歧视体重的问题。 As it turned out, many people said they want more protections for their overweight colleagues. At least two-thirds of participants across all four countries support making it illegal for employers to refuse to hire, assign lower wages, deny promotions, or terminate workers because of their weight. |
