文字稿

Brazil had identified more than 900 cases of microcephaly since the outbreak of the Zika virus in October. Many more are suspected but they're not yet officially confirmed. Scientists in Brazil say the increase in microcephaly, in which a baby is born with an abnormally small head, is linked to the mosquito-born virus.

自去年10月寨卡病毒爆發(fā)起，巴西已確認(rèn)發(fā)現(xiàn)900多起小頭畸形病例。目前，更多疑似病例還未被官方證實(shí)。小頭畸形的癥狀為新生兒異常頭小，巴西的科學(xué)家說(shuō)病例的增加和前面提到的由蚊子傳播的病毒有關(guān)聯(lián)。

The A4 waist challenge that has everyone talking. The challenge to show your waist fitting behind a piece of A4 paper has gone viral in China and further afield but now there's a fight back happening online. It's been labelled of course, unrealistic, damaging and a whole new low for viral body image challenges.

最近所有人都在聊“A4 腰挑戰(zhàn)”。挑戰(zhàn)要求網(wǎng)友展示自己的腰部是否能藏在一張A4紙的后面，這個(gè)討論迅速在中國(guó)網(wǎng)絡(luò)上傳播開(kāi)來(lái)，在其他地區(qū)也掀起熱議。但現(xiàn)在已有人在網(wǎng)上抨擊此事，不出所料地稱其為不切實(shí)際的、有害的，且在各類流行一時(shí)的身體形象挑戰(zhàn)中實(shí)屬最差。
