法國立法抵制“過瘦”模特大綱

爲預防年輕人被模特的形象誤導而患上厭食症，法國政府日前正式公佈兩項抵制“過瘦”模特的法令，要求所有對模特外形作出修圖處理的商業圖片都必須配有“圖片經修改”標籤，並規定在法國從業的模特都必須提供醫生開具的健康證明。

A law in France banning the use of unhealthily thin fashion Models has come into effect.
法國一項禁止過瘦模特從業的法律近日生效。

Models will need to provide a doctor's certificate attesting to their overall physical health, with special regard to their body mass index (BMI) - a measure of weight in relation to height.
模特需要提供醫生證明，以證實其整體健康狀況，證明中需註明其身體質量指數，這是一種根據身高體重比例衡量胖瘦程度的標準。

The health ministry says the aim is to fight eating disorders and inaccessible ideals of beauty.
法國衛生部門表示，此舉旨在抵制進食障礙以及難以達到的以瘦爲美的理念。

Digitally altered photos will also have to be labelled from 1 October.
從10月1日起，經過數碼修改過的圖片也需註明。

Images where a model's appearance has been manipulated will need to be marked photographie retouchée (English: retouched photograph).
模特的身材經過修飾的圖片需註明“圖片經修改”。

A previous version of the bill had suggested a minimum BMI for models, prompting protests from modelling agencies in France.
此前的法案版本建議爲模特設置身體質量指數最低值，但這遭到了法國模特機構的抗議。

But the final version, backed by MPs 2015, allows doctors to decide whether a model is too thin by taking into account their weight, age, and body shape.
法案的最終版本允許醫生綜合考慮模特的體重、年齡、和體型來決定一位模特是否過瘦。這一版本在2015年受到議員們的支持。

Employers breaking the law could face fines of up to 75,000 euros and up to six months in jail.
違反此項法規的僱主將面臨高達7.5萬歐元（約合56.8萬元人民幣）罰款以及長達半年監禁。

"Exposing young people to normative and unrealistic images of bodies leads to a sense of self-depreciation and poor self-esteem that can impact health-related behaviour," said France's Minister of Social Affairs and Health, Marisol Touraine, in a statement on Friday, French media report.
據法國媒體報道，法國社會事務和衛生部長瑪麗索爾-杜函娜上週五在聲明中說：“向年輕人展示有示範意義但不切實際的身材圖片會導致自我貶低和自尊心不足，進而影響健康相關行爲。”

France is not the first country to legislate on underweight models - Italy, Spain and Israel have all done so.
法國並非首個立法抵制過瘦模特的國家，意大利、西班牙和以色列都曾採取此類舉措。

Anorexia affects between 30,000 to 40,000 people in France, 90% of whom are women.
法國有3萬到4萬人飽受厭食症困擾，其中90%是女性。
