甩肉還能拿學分 南京一大學爲學生開設減肥課
A course offered at a university in East China will link students' weight loss directly to their marks in a bid to curb student obesity.
中國東部一所大學開設的一門課程，將會把學生的減肥情況與學分直接相關聯，以此來控制學生的肥胖問題。The course from Zhou Quanfu, teacher at the Nanjing Agricultural University in Jiangsu province, aims to encourage overweight students to control their diets and increase their exercise.
這門課程是由江蘇省的南京農業大學周全富老師發起的，旨在鼓勵超重的同學控制飲食並且加強鍛鍊。Zhou said 60 percent of a student's grade will be determined by their weight loss. If they shed 7 percent of their original weight, they can pass the course.
周老師稱，學生成績的60%將取決於他們減重情況。如果在原體重的基礎上減重7%，他們就可以通過該課程。
According to a student who declined to give her real name, the students run on treadmills in the school's fitness room and walk 10 kilometers every Monday and Friday evening.
一位不願意透露姓名的同學表示，同學們會在每週一和週五晚上在健身房的跑步機上跑10公里。Every Wednesday afternoon, the teacher leads them on a mountain-climbing excursion.
每週三的下午，老師還會帶領同學登山。"We use mobile apps to record daily food intake," said the student. Before eating, they send photos of their food via a mobile app for suggestions from nutritionists.
該學生稱：“我們用手機軟件來記錄每天攝入的食物。”在吃飯前，他們會通過手機軟件將他們食物的照片發給營養師，以徵求有關建議。According to Zhou, only students with more than 30 percent body fat or a body mass index over 28 can sign up for the course.
據周老師表示，只有體重超標30%的學生或者是身體質量指數超過28的學生纔可以選這門課程。
