职场英语：高职务的强势女性更苗条(双语）

Professional women are aware of a bias against those who are overweight, according to Andrew Hill, professor of medical psychology at Leeds University.

利兹大学的医学心理学教授安德鲁·希尔表示，职业女性很清楚社会对肥胖人群存有偏见。

He said: 'Appearance is the most important attribute for women in our society. Valuing them only for their appearance is a way for me to subjugate them. 'There's no doubt that to be fat in our current society is adisadvantage particularly if you are female.'

他说：“相貌对现代女性而言至关重要。看女性外表也是我自己评判她们的一种方式。毋庸置疑，肥胖在现代社会绝非优点，女性要是肥胖恐怕会更难堪吧。”

Barrister Helen Jackson, who weighs 16 stone, told the Sunday Times that obese male lawyers were accepted in her profession but female ones were not.

海伦·杰克森是一名出庭律师，体重16英石(224磅)。她告诉《星期日泰晤士报》说，这行业能接纳肥胖的男性律师，却无法接受肥胖的女性律师。

'The pressure on women to look the part has definitely got worse since I was called to the bar in 1975,' she said. 'Women now are slaves to their appearance more than they ever were.'
