Can "body neutrality" change the way you work out?
“身体中立”会改变你的运动方式吗?
The term "body neutrality" was popularized by Anne Poirier, a body-image coach and the author of "The Body Joyful," who began using it in 2015 to help her clients build a healthier, more in-tune relationship to food and exercise.
“身体中立”的说法,最初是由安妮·波伊里尔推广“出圈”的;她是“身体形象”培训师,同时也是《身体的快乐》一书的作者;在 2015 年,她启用“身体中立”这个词,去帮助客户跟饮食和运动建立起一种更为健康和协调的关系。
"Body neutrality prioritizes the body's function, and what the body can do, rather than its appearance," she explained. "For me, neutrality was a more accessible steppingstone away from body hatred."
安妮解释道:“‘身体中立’优先关注身体机能,以及我们的身体能够做到哪些事情,而不会去紧盯外在的身形。于我个人而言,在摆脱身材厌恶的过程中,这种中立的概念是更易达成的一条进阶之路。”
Over the past several years, the philosophy of body neutrality has gained traction among those who feel marginalized by a fitness culture dominated by thin, lithe instructors who exhort the benefits of punitive workouts and restrictive eating plans.***
在过去若干年间,身体中立的观念在这样一群人中建立了知名度——他们感到自己与现在的健身文化格格不入;眼下的健身风气常由体态轻盈纤瘦的教练主导,大肆宣扬严苛的运动方式和限制诸多的饮食计划。

Lauren Leavell, a personal trainer, characterizes body neutrality as "a perspective shift that can bring about more realistic goal setting." "It's important to listen to your current body, not what you think you should be able to do," she said.
在健身私教劳伦·里维尔的描述中,身体中立则是“一种观念上的扭转,能够促使人们设定更为实际的运动目标”。她表示:“更重要的,应该是听取身体在当下发出的信号,而非一味空想所谓‘我应该要做到的事情’。”

She also places emphasis on movement as an intrinsic source of pleasure, not a means for delayed gratifications like a cookie, better-fitting clothes or approval from your doctor.
同时,她也一再强调:运动应当是一种人们本就拥有的快乐源泉,它不应该沦为“先苦后甜”的手段——(运动)只是为了多吃一口饼干,让衣服更合身,或是得到医生的认可。

Critics of body neutrality argue that pursuing a Zen-like sense of detachment doesn't do enough to bolster self-image. That may be true, but it can still be a valuable tool in that process.
身体中立的反对派则质疑:仅仅遵从禅宗般“超然物外”的心态,并不足以让人对自己的形象产生更正面的感受。此话或许在理,但在改变外在的这个过程中,身体中立法仍然不失为一种颇有益处的好办法。

From a medical standpoint, putting less emphasis on appearance also presents an opportunity to exercise more safely and sustainably.
从医学角度来说,减少对外表的过分关注,也算是提供了“一线生机”,让人们的健身活动更安全、更易于坚持。
