　　Millions of British adults have experienced suicidal thoughts or emotions because of concerns about their body image， a survey shows.

　　一项调查发现，数百万英国成年人由于担心自身形象，曾想过自杀或产生情绪问题。

　　One of the largest polls on the issue， for the Mental Health Foundation， found one in eight people aged 18 and above have been so distressed about their body image they have thought about killing themselves.

　　国际精神健康基金会的调查发现，在英国18岁及以上的成年人中，有八分之一的人对自身形象感到苦恼，曾想过自杀。这也是针对这一问题大规模的调查之一。

　　While the issue of body image in children， particularly girls， has come to the fore in recent years， the charity says its research illustrates people can be adversely affected regardless of gender or age， with many of the same drivers， such as social media and advertising， at play.

　　尽管近年来，儿童、尤其女孩的形象问题成为人们关注的焦点，但该慈善机构说，研究表明，在这一问题上，无关性别或年龄，所有人都可能受到社交媒体和广告等因素的负面影响。

　　Among its recommendations are the vetting of adverts related to “high-risk industries”， such as cosmetic surgery， weight loss and fashion.

　　该机构还建议政府对整容手术、减肥及时尚等“高风险行业”相关的广告进行审查。
