迪拜減肥獎勵黃金 想參加嗎?
Shedding weight is as good as gold under an unusual slim-down initiative in Dubai over growing concerns about rising obesity levels in the wealthy Gulf city-state.
迪拜最近發起一項減肥倡議活動,體重減輕就能得到金子。該活動的目的是解決這一富裕的海灣地區國家民衆日益肥胖的問題。
Municipal officials are offering a gram of gold – worth about $45 at current prices – for each kilogram of weight lost in a 30-day challenge. The minimum drop is two kilograms, or 4.4 pounds, to cash in.
市政官員提出,報名參與者在30天之內每減一公斤體重就能得到一克黃金(現匯率大約爲45美元),減掉兩公斤體重(也就是4.4磅)起付。
Local media Wednesday quotes Dubai official Hussain Lootah as saying there is no limit on the payout for the golden losers, who must sign up and weigh in Friday.
當地媒體週三援引迪拜官員侯賽因-魯塔的說法稱,獎勵金額上不封頂,想要參加的人需在週五前報名。
The plan is the latest attempt to encourage healthier lifestyles in the United Arab Emirates. Across the Gulf Arab states, authorities have raised alarms about rising obesity from increasing fast-food diets and lack of exercise.
這一活動旨在鼓勵阿聯酋國家人民選擇更爲健康的生活方式。這個海灣地區阿拉伯國家當局發現,人們大量食用快餐、缺乏鍛鍊,導致體重嚴重超標。
