Chinese to English: 塑身健康新主張：縮小骨盆瘦身法
Source text - Chinese 第三章：塑身健康新主張：縮小骨盆瘦身法
骨盆的奧妙----肥胖的黑盒子
女性的腹腔蘊藏著無限的秘密，因為這是主導著女性內分泌最重要的殿堂，以及培育下一代的子宮以及卵巢之所在。但是，倘若女性腹腔有著太多贅肉，就會壓迫到骨盆腔，進而導致骨盆外擴，也會影響到
腹腔內部器官的運作不良。
關於下半身的肥胖問題，其實與體質、種族等有關。一般來說，相較於西方人，東方人的腿部比例比較短，脂肪在下半身堆積，就容易產生肥胖；而且，東方女性的骨盆也相對較寬。
對女性來說，又肩負有生兒育女責任，因生產之故，造成產後陰道變大，影響骨盆外擴變大，且脂肪容易囤積，當生產次數愈多，如無適當調整，變形程度相形加劇。再者，現代上班族長時間坐著工作，以及運動量低，亦造成臀部容易屯積脂肪，進而發生鬆弛、下墬、變形的現象。若從性別差異來看，一般男性的脂肪容易屯積在腹部，形成所謂的啤酒肚，女性則多積聚在臀部和大腿。
Translation - English Chapter 3: A New Idea for Fitness—Shrinking the Pelvis
The secret of the pelvis, or the black box of fat
The female abdomen, a black box of infinite secrets, plays a crucial role in influencing endocrine and contains the uterus and ovaries that nurture the next generation. On the other hand, surplus fat in the abdomen constricts the pelvic cavity, leading to the expansion of the pelvis and malfunctioning of organs inside the abdominal cavity.
Fatness in the lower body has much to do with factors of constitution and race. Generally speaking, Asians have smaller leg to body ratio, explaining why Asians look plump when fat deposits in the lower body. Another reason lies in the wider pelvis of Asians. For women that have undergone childbirth, the vagina expands after labor, which causes the pelvis to widen and fat to accumulate more easily. Without taking proper precautions, the more childbirths a woman has, the more deformed her pelvis becomes. What’s more, modern working people, with their routine of sitting for long hours and exercising infrequently, are disposed to accumulate fat in the hips, which become flabby, sagging and out of shape in time. Gender differences make fat deposits more easily in the abdomen for men, forming the so-called “pot belly,” while fat tends to store on the buttocks and thighs for women.
