A4腰之后还有“i6腿”

 Following the much hyped ‘A4 Waist’, viral trend¹ — in which Chinese woman posted photos of themselves to prove they were as skinny as an A4 sheet of paper — the ‘iPhone6 Legs’ have taken the Chinese internet by storm this week. 

继大热的“A4腰”后，“i6腿”本周在中国的互联网上又掀起一股热潮。之前，不少中国女性在网上上传个人照片，证明自己的腰只有A4纸那么宽。

Chinese women are posting pictures of themselves with an iPhone6 across their thighs² with their knees together to show that their thighs are as thin as the length of an iPhone 6 (13.8 cm). 

一些中国女性把iPhone6手机放在并拢的膝盖上，并上传照片，向大家展示自己两腿的宽度和iPhone 6的长度一样（约13.8厘米）。

However, a number of Chinese women were disturbed by this basically³ unattainable beauty standard. “How can people survive being this thin?” “Such weak legs. Can we do one with an iPad?” Apple’s iPads are nearly 24 cm in length. 

但也有一些女性因为这个基本无法达到的审美标准而感到不安，有人说：“这么瘦可怎么活啊？”“腿太瘦弱了，iPad腿行吗？”苹果iPad近24厘米长。
