夏说英语新闻晨读 第277期:模特太瘦无法走台

 本期内容：
A law in France banning the use of unhealthily thin fashion models has come into effect. Models will need to provide a doctor's certificate attesting¹ to their overall physical health, with special regard to their body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight in relation to height.
