摘要：考研英语作为一门考研公共课，虽然大家都学了英语十几年，却仍经常有总分过线挂在英语上的情况，因此英语复习不单单是单词、做题。阅读作为考研英语的大头，仅仅做考研真题或许没法满足你的阅读量，因此查字典考研网之后会不定时推出一篇英文美文，这些文章都与考研英语阅读同源，多读必有好处。
►These guys really need a lift.
这些人真的需要帮助。
Macho men who are super into lifting weights at the gym are more likely to struggle with depression, weekend binge drinking, problematic dieting and body image issues, according to a new study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and Harvard University.
挪威科技大学和哈佛大学联合进行的一项新研究显示，那些超级喜欢在健身房举重的强壮男性更容易有抑郁症、周末酗酒、饮食问题以及身体形象问题。
Its the first study of its kind to show the relationships between men wanting to look ripped and the potential psychological drawbacks, researchers say.
研究人员称，这是首次研究男性想要看起来轮廓分明与潜在的心理缺陷之间的关系。
Typically, body image studies focus on women attaining a skinny ideal.
通常情况下，身体形象研究关注的是想要实现理想苗条身材的女性。
Parents alarm bells should go off if they have a youngster whos at the gym everyday, who just wants to eat chicken and broccoli and who consumes protein shakes or supplements all the time, says Trine Tetlie Eik-Nes, associate professor in NTNUs Department of Neuromedicine and movement science, in a statement.
挪威科技大学神经医学和运动科学的副教授特琳泰特里艾克-奈斯在一份声明中说： 如果家里有年轻人每天去健身房、只吃鸡肉和花椰菜、总是摄入叶黄素奶昔或补充剂，做父母的就应该要警觉了。
Eik-Nes says that if someones whole world is about their workouts, parents or friends should ask about what theyre actually training for.
艾克-奈斯说，如果一个人的整个世界都是关于锻炼，父母或朋友应该问他到底在锻炼什么。
The study, which was published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, surveyed 2,460 men, ages 18 to 32.
这项研究发表在《国际饮食失调杂志》上，调查了2460名年龄在18岁至32岁之间的男性。
Ten percent of the men had a body image disorder, believing that they are too fat and want to be thinner, and 1 in 3 of them have been on a diet not related to obesity.
10%的男性存在身体形象障碍，他们认为自己太胖，想要变瘦，其中三分之一的人节食与肥胖无关。
Girls are supposed to be thin and have small waistlines, Eik-Nes says. Boys should have wide shoulders and big muscles. Those are the narrow ideals that young people grow up with today. It turns out that this unrealistic body image is as challenging for men as for women.
艾克-奈斯说：女孩应该要很瘦，腰围要小。男孩应该有宽阔的肩膀和强壮的肌肉。这些都是当今年轻人从小就有的狭隘看法。事实证明，这种不现实的身体形象对男人和女人来说都是一种挑战。
