　　经过一年多的谈判，来自时装公司、广告公司和传媒机构的官员与法国卫生部长巴舍洛一道签署了一个行业指导方针，掀起了一场全球性的反厌食症运动。

　　请看外电的报道：

　　Key members of the French fashion industry signed a government-backedcharter Wednesday aimed at fighting against anorexia and promoting healthy bodyimages.

　　本周三，法国时装业的主要成员签署了一项获得政府支持的指导方针，旨在抗击厌食症，鼓励健康的身体形象。

　　该报道中，anorexia 指a prolonged disorder of eating due to loss ofappetite，就是“厌食症”的意思。与之相反的“贪食症”是cynorexia，通俗的说法是excessive appetite。这两种状况都属于eatingdisorder(饮食无序)的范畴。

　　An eating disorder，in which one alternates between abnormal craving for andaversion to food，is characterized by episodes of excessive food intake followedby periods of fasting and self-induced vomiting ordiarrhea.(饮食无序的特点是偶尔的暴饮暴食继而又很快的引起呕吐或腹泻，在这种情况下，一个人常常处于不正常的贪食和厌食的交替状态)。
