　　主干识别：

　　第二句：

　　切分成分：

　　2. letting everyone know that it’s fine to be fat.

　　参考译文：加大码模特和网络红人引领的“接受胖人运动”以肥胖正常化为目标，让人人都知道胖没什么不好。

　　思考题:

　　There is a new campaign to embrace the idea of being fat.

　　所以这个表达是正确!

　　但是一定要有度，文章的后面还有这样表述：

　　With terms such as “straight size” and “fat pride” proliferating, some influential figures are now even likening the valid concerns of health officials to hate crimes.

　　1.Liken A to B 把A比作B;

　　2.Proliferate:猛增，涌现;

　　独立主格直接独立成句：

　　With terms such as “straight size” and “fat pride” proliferating, some influential figures are now even likening the valid concerns of health officials to hate crimes.

　　这就是两句话：

　　1)With terms such as “straight size” and “fat pride” proliferating

　　= terms such as “straight size” and “fat pride” proliferate

　　“直板身材”和“胖人骄傲”一类的词汇(用语)层出不穷

　　2)some influential figures are now even likening the valid concerns of health officials to hate crimes

　　一些有影响力的红人现在甚至把卫生官员的合理担忧比作“仇恨犯罪”。

　　“直板身材”和“胖人骄傲”一类的词汇层出不穷。一些有影响力的红人现在甚至把卫生官员的合理担忧比作“仇恨犯罪”。

　　(这个直板身材就是和胖有关系的词，具体出处我没有考证，估计就是说你们这些瘦子还有腰，我们直接就是直着下去的。)(hate crimes是个新词，其精准翻译也没有统一标准，其意思就是因为某些言论而引起的仇恨，会被做犯罪，比如如果为“黑人都是小偷”这就是hate crime)

　　这样来看，现在的追求胖的趋势确实就不对了。

　　任何事，过了这个度就不好了。
