considered skinny or overweight. From the first place, MEDICALLY Japan has different

日本人對於過瘦和過重的標準。首先，在醫療方面，

standards for what they consider overweight. Most of the world uses the same BMI, or Body

日本人對所謂的過重標準各有差異。多數人都是以BMI值（身體質量指數）為基準。

Mass Index, scale. This scale compares your height to your weight and places you in categories

BMI值會根據你的身高、體重，還有所在地區，

of either underweight, normal, overweight, or three different classes of obesity.

來判斷你是過輕、正常、過重，或是輕度、中度、重度，三種不同層級的肥胖指數。

For most of the world class 1 obesity begins at a BMI of 30. However, in Japan, class 1

大多的輕度肥胖是指從BMI值30開始為準。然而在日本，

obesity starts at 25 rather than 30. This is because Asians tend to face more weight-related

輕度肥胖指數卻是指BMI值25~30。主要是因為亞洲罹患肥胖相關疾病的人的BMI值

disease issues at lower BMIs than the rest of the world. For example, at the same BMI

大多低於世界平均值。舉例來說，

as other races, Japanese people face more than twice the risk of type 2 diabetes. They

和其他擁有相同BMI值的種族比較，日本人罹患第二型糖尿病整整是他們的兩倍。

also have higher risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and they also face

同時也更容易得高血壓和心血管疾病，也因為這樣，

a risk of dying earlier from those causes. So there's a good reason that Japanese people

他們比其他人更早死亡。這就是為甚麼日本人BMI值會設定得比其他人低。

need to be skinnier than the rest of the world. But let's go ahead and compare average BMIs.

他們有必須要比大部分人還要瘦的理由。我們繼續來比較BMI值的差異。

I chose to get the data for the 10 countries that watch our channel the most. As you can

我挑出10個最常觀看我們頻道的國家的人的BMI值，

see, the average Japanese BMI is pretty significantly lower than most other countries. Women alone

如你可見，日本人的平均BMI值較他國人的還低許多，

have an average BMI of 20 and that is pretty freaking skinny, BUT for the vast majority

日本女性平均BMI值只有20，真的是超級瘦，

of people that is not going to be anywhere near the size 0 that a lot of foreigners assume

但對其他人而言，日本女性的平均BMI值還是比他們想像中的還高。

is the average in Japan. So this is all statistical data, but what

所以這是統計資料顯示的結果，

do Japanese people actually think? I actually have a chart that I'm going to show you that

但日本人又是怎麼說的呢？ 事實上，我有一個圖表打算和你們分享，

someone, somewhere created to rate women on a scale of what they consider skinny and chubby.

這是在某地的某個人做出來判斷女人胖瘦的圖表。

But of course since that's just one person's opinion, instead of using their standard,

當然這並不是大眾標準而只是某個人的意見，

I'm going to be translating comments for you by Japanese people so you can see what a lot

不過我還是打算翻譯這些日本人的留言，如此一來，

of different Japanese people think. And since the Japanese viewers on our channel tend to

你也能知道實際上日本人的想法差異有多大。 還有，因為觀看我們頻道的日本人在回答我們的提問時

be really polite and respectful when I ask them questions, instead of getting their opinions,

都非常尊重有禮，以至於有點難得到真正的意見，

I took opinions from other parts of the internet where people were less likely to hold anything

所以我在另一個網站上蒐集了 一群比較不會語帶保留的網友的意見。

back, so of course, some of the comments are really offensive. So I just want to let you

當然，其中也有些非常無理的留言， 所以我先在這裡提醒一聲。

guys know ahead of time. Additionally, the chart is full of half naked women in underwear,

此外，因為圖表上都是些半裸女性的圖片，

so it's not safe for work! But let's get started.

所以有些作業妨害，不過我們還是開始吧！

On this chart, the Japanese says "Pocha do." "Pocchari" means "chubby," and "do" means

在這個圖表上寫的日文POCHADO， 其中POCCARI代表胖嘟嘟，

"degree," so they're measuring the degree of chubiness.

DO代表指數，所以這是他們對於肥胖的評分程度。

Seeing them makes me think they're living in abject poverty or something.

To me 60 is 0 percent chubby. 80 is the best, and 100 is finally kind of chubby.

-30-10 look like they were carved to perfection. More than 40 is fat...

My level would be from -10 to 60. 60 is chubby but that's okay.

「80%是正常值，100%對我來說有點小胖，不過我想大家都覺得100%是完全正常的，

that 100% is totally normal, and they like girls chubbier than that.

他們甚至喜歡更胖的。」

80% should be 0% chubby. Isn't this chart more what women think about themselves?

「80%的完全不胖啊。 這應該是女性視角的肥胖值吧？」

I'd go for -10 to 40. If she was 60 I'd feel like I was having sex with a pig.

「我可以接受在-10%~40%之間的，60%的會讓我覺得是和豬在做愛。」
