Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a majorMadrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrongmessage to young Spanish girls, local media reported.
据当地媒体报导，马德里一次大型的时尚秀禁止骨瘦如柴的时尚模特登台，因为担心她们会给年轻的西班牙姑娘们传递不恰当的信息。
Madrid's regional government, which is co-financing the PasarelaCibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in lastyear's show because they weigh too little.
去年参加时尚秀的模特，约1/3因为太瘦被马德里地方政府禁止登台。
The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organisation tocome up with a minumum body mass--a height-weight ratio--of 18 for themodels.
当局和西班牙的一个健康组织联合制定了模特最小的体重指数，即身高体重比为18。
It was the first time such restrictions had been imposed on afashion show, although a recent wedding dress exhibition in Barcelonabanned fashion models who took a dress size below 38 (British size 10,US size eight).
时尚秀采用这种限制还是首次，不过最近在巴塞罗那的一次婚纱展上，服装尺码小于38(英国尺码10，美国尺码为8)的时尚模特也被禁止登台。
Several models at last year's show provoked a row when they claimed their careers would be under threat if they put on weight.
参加去年时尚秀的有些模特声称如果体重增加将会威胁到她们的事业，这激起了一番争论。
Organisers said they wanted to "help ensure public opinion does notassociate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase inanorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered...as amental and behavioural problem".
组织者说他们想“帮助确立一种社会意识，不要把时尚，特别是时尚秀和厌食症的增加联系到一起。厌食症和贪食症都被认为......是精神和行为问题。”
