The ideal1 body is often presented as one with a stomach having no fat, or better yet, defined2 muscles.

通常認(rèn)為理想的身材是腹部沒有脂肪堆積，或者更好的是，腹部有明確的肌肉線條。 

Many have tried to reach that goal by spending time exercising and paying money to join a gym. Some change their diet or simply eat less. Others just give up and gain weight as a result. Now doctors at the University of Miami’s Leonard M. Miller3 School of Medicine think they have found an answer. They have created a new plastic surgery4 process that could replace all that hard work.

許多人試圖通過花時(shí)間鍛煉和花錢去健身房來達(dá)到這一目標(biāo)。有一些人改變了他們的飲食或者只是吃的越來越少。還有一些人選擇放棄，結(jié)果就是體重增加。現(xiàn)在，邁阿密大學(xué)的倫納德·米勒醫(yī)學(xué)院的醫(yī)生們認(rèn)為他們找到了解決問題的辦法。他們發(fā)明了一種新的整形手術(shù)，可以取代所有的鍛煉。

It is called abdominal5 etching.

這種手術(shù)叫做腹腔腐蝕。 

The process is explained in a recent study in the Journal6 of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The study followed 26 men and 24 women who already had a healthy diet and got some exercise, but all had unwanted stomach fat.

《美國整形和修復(fù)外科學(xué)會期刊》最近的一篇研究解釋了這一過程。這項(xiàng)研究跟蹤調(diào)查了26名男性和24名女性，他們飲食健康，平時(shí)也會有一些鍛煉，但腹部都有多余的脂肪。

The average age of the patient was 36.

患者的平均年齡是36歲。 

During the surgery, doctors removed fat from different parts of a body using a process called liposuction. Then they moved the fat around and etched lines in the stomach to make them appear to be the outline of muscles. Men usually have six muscle lines and women have three. Patients could choose to have the muscles more defined or more rounded for a softer look. After the surgery, the patients appeared to have the stomach of a person who spends hours exercising every day.

在手術(shù)過程中，醫(yī)生使用一種叫做吸脂的方法從身體的不同部位去除脂肪。然后他們移動脂肪，在腹部蝕刻線條，讓它們看起來像是肌肉的輪廓。男人通常有六條肌肉線，女人有三條?；颊呖梢赃x擇肌肉是更清晰還是更圓潤，以實(shí)現(xiàn)外觀柔和自然。手術(shù)后，這些病人的腹部看起來像一個(gè)每天花幾個(gè)小時(shí)鍛煉的人的腹部。

Stomach fat is the hardest fat to lose on the body. It is deeper inside the body than leg or hip7 fat, and it often increases with age. Recently, several non-surgical, fat-reducing processes have become popular in the United States. Called "body sculpting," they include freezing fat or hitting it with radio waves. Both processes supposedly kill fat cells in the body. But they cannot get to that deep stomach fat that abdominal etching removes.

腹部脂肪是身體上最難減掉的脂肪。它比腿部或臀部的脂肪更深，而且經(jīng)常隨著年齡增長而增加。最近，一些非手術(shù)的減肥方法在美國流行起來。這些方法叫做“身體塑造法”，包括冷凍脂肪或用無線電波打擊脂肪。這兩種方法都可以殺死體內(nèi)的脂肪細(xì)胞。但它們無法實(shí)現(xiàn)腹部蝕刻，去除深層腹部脂肪。

After the surgery, patients had to follow a lot of rules. They had to cover their surgery scars8 with pieces of tight foam9 for several weeks to keep the lines in place. They also needed many appointments with doctors to check for problems.

手術(shù)后，病人必須遵守很多規(guī)則。他們在手術(shù)后的幾周內(nèi)，必須用幾塊緊密泡沫塑料蓋住傷口，以保持肌肉線條。他們還需要與醫(yī)生多次預(yù)約，檢查傷口是否有問題。

One month after the surgery, they still have to exercise every day and keep to a diet for up to six years.

手術(shù)后一個(gè)月，他們?nèi)匀槐仨毭刻戾憻挘⒈３纸】碉嬍沉曛谩?nbsp;

So, if you hate exercise or diet, this surgery might not be the one. You cannot simply walk out of the hospital with great abdominal muscles and go home, sit on a chair and do nothing.

所以，如果你討厭鍛煉或節(jié)食，那這個(gè)手術(shù)可能不是你想要的。你不能帶著巨大的腹肌走出醫(yī)院，然后回家，坐在椅子上什么都不做。
