耶魯女生太瘦被學校警告：我只是天生苗條

Yale has threatened to kick out a 20-year-old history major because she's too thin. New Jersey native, Frances Chan, who is 5'2" and weighs 90lbs, claims she's been force feeding herself Cheetos and ice cream in an attempt to add flesh to her tiny frame after the Ivy League school became convinced she was suffering from an eating disorder.
耶魯大學向學生弗朗西絲-陳提出了勸退警告，因爲她太瘦了。今年20歲的弗朗西絲-陳是新澤西當地人，耶魯大學歷史學專業學生，身高5英尺2英寸（約1.57米）、體重90磅（約40.8公斤）。陳說這所常春藤名校稱她飲食失衡，強制要求她增肥，所以她不得不強迫自己吃奇多和冰淇淋，只希望給自己的小身體長點肉。

Chan said the college wouldn't even let up when her parents confirmed she, and the rest of her family, had always been naturally skinny and even sent in childhood medical records and had their doctor contact the school.
陳說她的家長向學校證實她們一家人都自然偏瘦，甚至還把她童年的醫療記錄寄到學校、並請家庭醫生聯繫了校方，但學校還是不肯讓步。

'It felt really bad to be this powerless,' Chan told the New Haven Register. 'I ate ice cream twice a day. I ate cookies. I used elevators instead of walking up stairs. But I don't really gain any weight.'
“我感到如此無力、非常糟糕！” 陳告訴《紐黑文記事報》的記者，“我每天吃兩次冰淇淋，還吃許多甜點，並且用電梯代替走步，可是我就是很難增重。”

She said the battle over her weight began in September when she noticed a lump in her breast and went to get it checked out. The lump came back benign, but Yale doctors called her in for a follow up appointment because they had other 'concerns.'
她說，去年九月她發現自己胸部有腫塊，於是去看了校園醫生。檢查結果表明腫塊是良性的，但後來耶魯醫生約她再次前往就診，因爲他們“有別的擔心”。於是，針對她體重過輕的爭論開始了。

In the meeting, they told her she was dangerously underweight and imposed mandatory weekly weigh-ins as well as sessions with a mental health professional and a nutritionist.
在會診中，校醫說她體重嚴重過輕，並強制她每週增重，同時輔助以心理專家和營養師輔導。

Chan tried to comply with the school's request and put on weight but she only managed to gain two pounds. However, the university said that wouldn't do.
陳曾試圖遵從學校的要求努力增重，但是她勉強增了2磅（0.9公斤）。然而學校卻說這樣還是不行。

Angry, helpless and distracted from her studies, Chan decided to pen an essay about her experience for the Huffington Post. In it she explains that she's been small 'since high school, but it has never led to any illnesses related to low weight or malnutrition.'
陳既生氣又無助，無心學習，於是決定執筆把自己的經歷寫給《赫芬頓郵報》。她在文章中說，她“自從中學就體型嬌小，但從來沒有因爲體重過輕、營養不良而生病。

She claims the university's blind use of Body Mass Index as a yard stick for a healthy weight is where they are going wrong.
她說耶魯大學的錯誤就在於，盲目使用身體質量指數作爲衡量健康的標準。

On Friday, she learned that her new doctor acknowledged BMI was not the only measure of a healthy weight and admitted the college had 'made a mistake' in how they handled her thin frame.
週五，陳從自己的新任醫生那裏瞭解到，身體質量指數不是衡量健康體重的唯一標準，學校在對於她“過輕”體重那些處理方法確實“犯了個錯誤”。
