At first glance they might be sisters, but look again at this startling picture. They are, in fact, a 26-year-old mother and her daughter.

图中两人一眼看去会以为是姐妹，但再仔细看看这张令人震惊的照片吧。事实上，她们是一位26岁的母亲和她的女儿。

 

After suffering from anorexia, Rebecca Jones weighs five stone – less than her seven-year-old daughter, Maisy.

患上厌食症以后，丽贝卡·琼斯体重仅为五英石（英国的一种计重单位）——比她七岁的女儿玫思还要轻。

 

The medical secretary survives on soup, toast and energy drinks – even though doctors have warned her the lack of nutrients could kill her. At the same time she encourages 5st 9lb Maisy to enjoy chocolate and cupcakes.

这名医务秘书仅仅靠汤、面包和能量饮料维生——尽管医生已经警告过她营养的缺乏可能会要她的命。与此同时她鼓励体重5英石9磅的女儿玫思尽情享用巧克力和杯形蛋糕。

 

Her eating disorder began following her parents' divorce when she was 11.

她的饮食失调症是从她11岁时父母离异后开始的。

 

Comfort eating caused her to balloon to 15st, and she was teased at school and lost confidence in herself.

为了安慰自己而狂吃使她迅速发胖到15英石，因此在学校被人戏弄，丧失了自信心。

 

At 13, she says, "I pretty much stopped eating". After a drastic weight loss, friends began complimenting her figure and her family did not spot the dangers.

在她十三岁时，她说，“我几乎停止了进食”。在经过高强度的减肥之后，朋友们开始称赞她的好身材，她的家人却还没有意识到危险性。

 

But within two years her weight was down to eight stone and her periods stopped.

但在接下来的两年内，她的体重下降至八英石，月经也停止了。

 

She met Maisy's father when she was 19 and studying at Manchester University. She had assumed her anorexia had left her infertile and had no idea she was expecting until she felt a kick. A scan revealed she was 26 weeks pregnant.
