雅思阅读材料：日本推出男士胸罩

　　A Japanese online retailer is branching out into bras, knickers and even silky nighties that, despite looking exactly like something you'd usually find in a woman's lingerie drawer, are actually intended for men.

　　一家日本在线零售店正将产品发展到文胸、内裤、甚至丝绸睡衣，尽管看起来像是你常在女性内衣抽屉里找到的东西，它们实际上是为男性设计的。

　　The lingerie is specifically designed with men's larger frames in mind and, although they still feature the lace, florals and underwiring you might expect to find in a woman's underwear collection, the bra cups lack padding, allowing men to slip them on without feeling 'unnatural'.

　　内衣为男性的身体结构专门设计，尽管文胸仍有女性内衣的蕾丝、花边和钢圈，却没有海绵垫，让男性穿上时不会觉得“不自然”。

　　Wish Room's say the line is designed to allow men the chance to 'enjoy the same kind of soft, luxurious undergarments that women are used to'.

　　店家说这条产品线是为了让男性有机会“享受女性早已习惯穿的柔软和奢华的内衣”。
