法国奇谈：体重合格 毕业会考加分？

PARIS (Reuters) - Pierre Dukan, the nutritionist behind the popular but controversial Dukan diet, has suggested that France tackle child obesity by giving extra exam marks for slimness.
法国营养学家迪康（Pierre Dukan）曾提出了引领潮流但饱受争议的迪康减肥法。日前迪康建议法国政府通过给苗条学生增加额外的考试分数来解决儿童肥胖症问题。

Dukan, who has sold 8 million copies of his diet book worldwide, made the proposal in a 250-page book called 'An Open Letter to the Future President', which he sent out Tuesday to 16 candidates for France's presidential election.
迪康的减肥宝典在全世界销量达800万册。他的提案是一本厚达250页的书，书名为“致未来总统的公开信”，并在星期二时赠送给了16位参与竞选法国总统的候选人。

The plan calls for high school students to be allowed to take a so-called "ideal weight" option in their final year exams, the "baccalaureat," under which they would earn extra points if they kept a body mass index (BMI) of between 18 and 25.
这项计划要求高中学生在参加年终考试即高中毕业会考时，须参加一个所谓的“理想体重”选项测试。在这一选项中，如果他们的体重指数（BMI）保持在18到25之间，那么他们可以得到额外的分数。

Those already overweight at the start of the two-year course would score double points if they managed to slim down over a period of two years. "It's a fantastic motivator," Dukan told Reuters.
对于在两年课程学习前期阶段已经超重的学生，如果在接下来的两年时间里能成功瘦下来，那他们可以得到双倍的分数。迪康对路透社记者说：“这会是一股神奇的动力。”

"The baccalaureat is really important in France. Kids want to get it, their parents want them to even more, so why not get them to work together on nutrition?"
“高中毕业会考证书在法国真的很重要。孩子们想要得到它，孩子的家长对会考证书的渴望更是强烈，所以为什么不让他们在营养健康方面一起努力呢？”
